Book Presentation: Conservatives Without Conscience by John Dean
Book Abstract
John Dean believes radical elements are destroying the Republican Party along with the very foundations of American democracy. In Conservatives Without Conscience, Dean explores specific right-wing-driven GOP policies along with the conservative mind-set, identifying recurring qualities such as the unbridled viciousness toward those daring to disagree with them, as well as the big business favoritism that costs taxpayers billions.
Dean offers a look at the top levels of the Republican Party, a noble political party he feels is being corrupted by its current leaders who cloak their actions in moral superiority while packaging their programs as blatant propaganda. He asserts that current right-wing authoritarian thinking, when conflated with the dominating personalities of the conservative leadership, could take the United States toward its own version of fascism.

Summary of Conservatives Without Conscience (John Dean)
Introduction
The last 20 years have seen the emergence of a conservative movement that has come to dominate American politics. The movement is well organized, highly motivated and very skilled in conducting partisan warfare. Indeed, as of 2006, conservatives control all three branches of government. Their aim, however, is not just to beat political opponents at the ballot box; it’s to crush them as a political and cultural force.
