Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America by David Horowitz
2.0
I would advise anyone who goes on to read this piece to do their own research and self-education on some of the “evidence” presented here. I truly tried to read this book in an objective fashion. I’m neither an advocate for the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party. Personally, I would consider myself a conservative Democrat or a liberal Republican. What irked me as I progressed through my reading of this piece was the apparent cherry-picking that Mr. Horowitz administered in his writing. One example would be his referencing of the 2015 National Prayer Breakfast statement made by President Obama on page 134. And here’s the entirety of the speech: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/02/05/remarks-president-national-prayer-breakfast.
I’m not trying to defend any positions, I just want the entirety of the truth when it comes to such accusations and proclamations made throughout this book. I understand the passion he communicates with throughout his book and where it might stem from but I wasn’t a fan of his execution. It’s important for us as individuals to understand the different perspectives and ideologies of others and where they stem from, especially from those we view as ‘enemies’, if we are to adequately form our own authentic views.
