Rules for Retrogrades

Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left

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.
