For nearly a decade, Michael Lind worked closely as a writer and editor with the intellectual leaders of American conservatism. Slowly, he came to believe that the many prominent intellectuals he worked with were not the leaders of the conservative movement but the followers and apologists for an increasingly divisive and reactionary political strategy orchestrated by the Republican party. Lind's disillusionment led to a very public break with his former colleagues on the right, as he attacked the Reverend Pat Robertson for using anti-Semitic sources in his writings.

In "Up From Conservatism," this former rising star of the right reveals what he believes to be the disturbing truth about the hidden economic agenda of the conservative elite. The Republican capture of the U.S. Congress in 1994 did not represent the conversion of the American public to conservative ideology. Rather, it marked the success of the thirty-year-old "southern strategy" begun by Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. From the Civil War to the civil rights revolution, the southern elite combined a low-wage, low-tax strategy for economic development with a politics of demagogy based on race-baiting and Bible-thumping. Now, Lind maintains, the economic elite that controls the Republican party is following a similar strategy on a national scale, using their power to shift the tax burden from the rich to the middle class while redistributing wealth upward.

To divert attention from their favoritism toward the rich, conservatives play up the "culture war," channeling popular anger about falling real wages and living standards away from Wall Street and focusing it instead on the black poor and nonwhite immigrants.

The United States, Lind concludes, could use a genuine "one-nation" conservatism that seeks to promote the interests of the middle class and the poor as well as the rich. But today's elitist conservatism poses a clear and present danger to the American middle class and the American republic.

Puppy is obsessed, so are my adult dogs!
These were a life saver while my puppy was teething. He absolutely LOVED these and somehow the little cloth attached to it held up extremely well. I'm not sure if it was the textures or the flavor/scent but this was by far his favorite toy. He's 6 months now and will always run to this. Our adult dogs have accidentally gotten ahold of these a few times and it holds up well to them too (thankfully). Super soft and great to also throw in the freezer to soothe their teeth while teething. This is a great value and if it's something that keeps the pup occupied, I'm all for it!

Probably best for medium to large dogs
I got these for my teething Japanese Chin pups & they can’t really chew the blue part because it’s too large for small dogs. I usually just barely wet the rag & wrap treats up inside, tucking it inside itself before freezing to make something more enriching for them. They like it overall.

Great puppy teething toy!
My bernedoodle loved this toy. Long after all her teeth had fallen out, she still plays with it! It was great to be able to freeze it and let her gnaw on something that would help her feel a little better too! We both agree that this was extremely helpful and fun!

Golden Retriever puppy did not care for it but other breeds very well might
These seem to be very well made but our Goiden Retriever puppy was only interested in it for less than one minute. Before you buy i would scan the great reviews to see what breeds these really appeal to. I am sure there are some!!
