Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline
In this book Justice Robert Bork pinpoints the beginning of the American decline. It started in the 1960s with the rise of the New Left, the radical anti-war faction that was roughly to the liberals in the 1960s what the Tea Party is to the conservatives today. (Interestingly, the New Left of the '60s and the Tea Party of the 2010s is approximately the same demographic.) The New Left brought with it the legalization of abortion, Affirmative Action, first amendment defense of pornography, and feminism. Things just haven't been the same since
What this is libertarian/conservative: Want to know what's wrong with liberalism? Robert Bork knows and he doesn't hold back in explaining how it's screwing up the country. Bork was the justice nominated by Ronald Reagan for the Supreme Court, but after a bitter confirmation battle, his nomination was rejected by the Senate. The less conservative Scalia was nominated in his stead. It's hard to get more conservative than Bork.
