Exposing the Radical Movement

to Redefine Family and Marriage

WASHINGTON -- We are witnessing a watershed moment in American cultural history. The Left has been trying to sabotage family and marriage for generations, going back to the nineteenth century when they declared moral authority to be dead. From the birth control advocates in the early twentieth century to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, extreme-left radicals have made their arguments and tried different tactics, but at long last they have the vehicle to make it happen: gay marriage. Now, as the legal definition of marriage rapidly changes, the floodgates are open, and the fundamental transformation of the American family will take on new speed and new dimensions. The communist left cannot and should not be ignored in this long process to bring down the family structure.

In Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and Marriage, Paul Kengor exposes these origins, starting with Karl Marx, and traces them through the sordid history of people like Margaret Sanger, Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse, and assorted '60s radicals. What were once fringe concepts have been accepted and are even celebrated in the mainstream, including by many legislators and judges. Kengor notes how in the not-so-distant past, today's leftists who are attacking traditional marriage would have loudly raised their voices but not caused any real damage.They would have been dismissed as left-wing cranks, crackpot German and Austrian atheistic philosophers and campus agitators with no serious concern. But now, with formal legalization of same-sex marriage afoot, they are getting what they’ve wanted for generations: the literal redefinition of the family.

Released by WND Books this week, Takedown exposes how gay marriage is serving as a Trojan horse for the far left to secure the final takedown of marriage that it has long wanted, and how countless everyday Americans are oblivious to the deeper forces at work. Takedown takes no prisoners and bluntly shows the reader that even Karl Marx and his more anti-marriage comrade Engels would be dumbfounded at the mere thought that modern Americans would gladly join them in their rejection of God's design for natural marriage and the family.
