Our aim is to reverse the deliberate, deuced machinations of &ldquo;radicals&rdquo; like Saul Alinsky who, by penning the rulebook of radicalism, threw down a challenge that has, until now, gone unanswered. <em><strong>Rules for Retrogrades</strong></em> is the handbook men of good will need to win the culture war! Here is a sampling from the call to action found within these pages:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>No truth is &ldquo;off-limits&rdquo;; we must never be ashamed to be candid.</li>\n<li>It is a damnable lie that humility disallows Christians from standing up (for what they believe) in the cultural and political forum!</li>\n<li>Control of language is control of thought; don&rsquo;t let radicals control the language.</li>\n<li>Never trust a man who is unwilling to have enemies.</li>\n<li>Radicals form coalitions, but retrogrades form fellowships.</li>\n<li>The root of cultural decay is feminism: end feminism to end radicalism.</li>\n</ul>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0;

Most rules are interesting and to the point and quite staunch. Many, I found were just begging for more explanation and practical application. One may find the need for more counter situational foils or like other authors, the insertion of more &quot;devil;s advocate&quot; per se; to train the reader for pushback just like in apologetics books. When the opposition says &quot;we will win by any means necessary&quot; it may seem like a daunting force. One can say and do so much, I have faith that enacting such recommendations from this book, will prove fruitful. Though time will tell along with our brethrens will and ultimately with God&#039;s help.","date":"May 24th 2023"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"Morality,Sexual decency,Cultural decay","show_quantity_input":1,"title":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left","gift_wrapping_available":false,"min_purchase_quantity":0,"customizations":[],"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/515/515__50882.1666799870.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4502/4502__84376.1666799867.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4497/4497__09104.1666799861.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4496/4496__99396.1666799860.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4499/4499__71404.1666799864.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4503/4503__40636.1666799869.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4501/4501__43010.1666799866.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4500/4500__73026.1666799865.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1855/4498/4498__95571.1666799863.jpg?c=1","alt":"Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left"}],"width":"5.50"}

What is a retrograde?  
A retrograde calculates, night and day, how to return the world to:

  • the Old Order of moral and sexual decency
  • classical masculinity
  • national sovereignty and national borders
  • faith and hope and charity
  • goodness and beauty and truth
  • Christian civic liberty
  • and most importantly, the social kingship of Christ

In the words of Shakespeare, a retrograde is one of God’s spies.
 
The retrograde has the unique capacity for understanding the stark chasm between the degenerate, socialist-infiltrated world of decay on one side and the well-meaning, good-hearted, but clueless Christian world on the other. 
 
In a time of such profound decay, being one of God’s spies is a last resort and a pure necessity: it involves not “deep cover,”—i.e., acting like the enemy—but rather “half cover”: acting as a “contra” in the secular arena, a crypto-Christian counterinsurgent willing to fight like a Navy Seal and to think like a counterintel officer. 

Retrogrades . . . to the streets! Our aim is to reverse the deliberate, deuced machinations of “radicals” like Saul Alinsky who, by penning the rulebook of radicalism, threw down a challenge that has, until now, gone unanswered. Rules for Retrogrades is the handbook men of good will need to win the culture war! Here is a sampling from the call to action found within these pages:

  • No truth is “off-limits”; we must never be ashamed to be candid.
  • It is a damnable lie that humility disallows Christians from standing up (for what they believe) in the cultural and political forum!
  • Control of language is control of thought; don’t let radicals control the language.
  • Never trust a man who is unwilling to have enemies.
  • Radicals form coalitions, but retrogrades form fellowships.
  • The root of cultural decay is feminism: end feminism to end radicalism.
