There was a time, in this century, when liberals championed the working class, when Democrats were indisputably the party of those who worked rather than invested for a living. Today, however, most Americans have come to see liberals as drifting and aimless, somehow lacking in backbone and moral fiber, beholden to radical ideologies that have little to do with the average American's life. Few incidents cast this phenomenon into greater relief than George Bush's successful tarring of Michael Dukakis as a liberal in 1988--and, tellingly, Dukakis's subsequent flight from the liberal tradition. How has it come to this? Why have liberals allowed themselves to be so portrayed? In this book, Gordon MacInnes--state senator, fiscal conservative, frustrated Democrat, and a man who believes deeply in America's civic culture--reveals how progressive forces have retreated from the battle of ideas, at great cost. Squarely at the nexus of race, poverty, and politics, Wrong for All the Right Reasons charts the sources of liberal decline and the high costs of conservative rule. Tracing the origins of the liberal retreat to the fall-out over Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's report on the black family in the 1960s, MacInnes claims that white liberals have somewhere along the way stopped taking black people seriously enough to argue with them. Continuously put on the desfensive, liberals have been unable to forge an aggressive, proactive agenda of that addresses the needs of working-class and poor Americans. This has led to a breakdown of honest dialogue which to this day continues to plague liberal Democrats, as evidenced by Bill Bradley's withdrawal from active party politics last fall. Finding room for optimism in the groundswell of grass-roots progressivism, Wrong for All the Right Reasons is a timely, necessary call to arms for liberal, progressive Democrats, outlining ways in which they can reverse their party's dangerous decline.

“Made my Bachelor-loving heart very happy.” —Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow The Bachelor meets Gilmore Girls in this laugh-out-loud young adult romance about a girl who joins her mother on a reality dating show for single parents—only to fall for a contestant’s son. Cara Hawn’s life fell apart after her father cheated on her mother and got remarried to a woman Cara can’t stand. When Cara accidentally posts a rant about her father online, it goes viral—and catches the attention of the TV producers behind a new reality dating show for single parent families. The next thing Cara and her mother know, they’ve been cast as leads on the show and are whisked away to sunny Key West where they’re asked to narrow a field of suitors and their kids down to one winning pair. All of this is outside of Cara’s comfort zone, from the meddling producers to the camera-hungry contestants, especially as Cara and her mother begin to clash on which suitors are worth keeping around. And then comes Connor. As the son of a contestant, Connor is decidedly off-limits. Except that he doesn’t fit in with the cutthroat atmosphere in all the same ways as Cara, and she can’t get him out of her head. Now Cara must juggle her growing feelings while dodging the cameras and helping her mom pick a bachelor they both love, or else risk fracturing their family even more for the sake of ratings. Maybe there’s a reason most people don’t date on TV.

Adrienne prides herself for being smart, prim and proper. She doesn't go against the rules of society and refuse to even take a shot of Tequila. In other words: Conservative. Boring.Instead of having fun and letting her spirit run free, she spent almost all her life trying to gain her mother's approval, measuring up to her sister's greatness, and proving herself worthy of her boyfriend's love and attention. She's been lying to everybody, including herself, about who she really was.But no matter what she does, she just can't seem to live up to their expectations. And then she got fed up and decided to let loose. For just one night. She left her eyeglasses, flat shoes, long skirt and knitted sweater behind. In high heels and a dress that accented her long legs and curves, she went to a club by herself and decided to find out what it was like to have a good time.Her night couldn't even be more perfect when Justin Adams, the city's most sought after bachelor, a.k.a. most notorious playboy fell prey to the charms she didn't even know she possessed. Justin was every girl's dream boat, but he never committed to a woman. He didn't date and didn't do relationships. So, Adrienne thought after that night, she didn't have to deal with him again. He would forget about her and her secret night of fun was safe with him.But what she did not expect was that Justin wasn't about to let her go that easily. And what was supposed to be just a one-night stand with the City's most wanted playboy, became a full-blown secret affair. In the eyes of her friends and family, she had a boyfriend named Troy. But within the walls of her bedroom, she belonged to Justin.However, her new-found bliss would be threatened by the secrets that Justin keeps and the past that her parents kept from her.Soon, she will find out that she's been living her life with all the right intentions... but for all the wrong reasons.

Thermidor is just another way of saying Inquisition. At a point in time, the structure is in trouble. You either fix the structure, or you start shooting the people in the life of a complex group called a society. The shooting of people in a complex group, randomly constituted on account of the structure is what we call an Inquisition.

When Satan’s little helper gets real, everyone feels the heat! “Raven is a perfect blend of romance, comedy, action-horror and fantasy. Full of moments to make you giggle, and then reach for the tissue-box!” Meet Raven… she’s feisty, spirited, and has a tendency to get lost in the game. She was born at the age of twenty-seven. She isn’t allowed to think her own thoughts, or make a single move unless someone else wants her to. That’s life, for a character in a book. The author of the book, Mika Mills, knew all good writers try to bring their characters to life… but there are limits. When it all began one fateful, life-changing night, those limits were not only exceeded, but banished to the other side of the universe forever! One moment it was a story about she-devils and Satan, then there was a storm with strange red lightning, and suddenly the novel became a biography. With both she and Raven having starring roles. Neither of them realise it is just the beginning of their spectacular new lives, or that their destinies are being shaped by an ancient scribe, and an even older mystical tablet… their futures woven together through the pages of time itself. They are just about to find out. If discovering your life is not your own isn't scary enough, there is worse to come. Raven wasn't the only one to get a heavy dose of reality after the storm. So did everyone else in the book. Like Raven's two friends, who are also she-devils. And someone they really didn't want to get real. Satan himself. Who isn't too impressed with his staff going rogue, and decides to do something about it. “If you’ve had your fill of the same-old, try a little Raven!” Check out Raven and Mika’s story on the rtgreen website. Enjoy!

Inside one of the nation's most important works on race Two Societies: The Rioting of 1967 and the Writing of the Kerner Report studies the 150 riots that occurred throughout the country in 1967 and how this infamous report was written in only seven months and unanimously adopted by both Republicans and Democrats. Designed so that each chapter can serve as stand-alone account of some aspect about the report, its development, or the rioting, Two Societies also looks into why the rioting seemed to suddenly stop after Martin Luther King’s assassination. It assesses to what extent progress has been made at eliminating the “two societies” that the report warned about, and it compares 1967’s rioting to the disorders that occurred after George Floyd’s death in 2020. Given that so many of the subjects that the Kerner Report addressed (unequal economic opportunities, controversial police incidents, a lack of understanding about the existence and impact of racism, etc.) are identical to those that we struggle with today, Two Societies will not only be of interest to those who study or participate in creating policy but also those who want to know what happened then and what is happening now.
