All three e-books reached number one on the Amazon Kindle “Political Humor” bestseller list.

Praise for Conservative Insurgency
“Please, God, make it so. Not the part about Bobby Jindal only getting to be VP, but at least 90% of Kurt’s crystal ball look into what could be, not what has been; how things could turn, not as they are likely to turn out right now. Schlichter’s genius—and it is genius—is to make it all possible based upon a single premise: That conservatives will play to win. A stretch of course, an enormous stretch, but not greater than that of 1776, 1789, 1860, 1944 or 1980. Read it and be inspired.”
“Here’s how the conservative movement won—from 30 years in the future. Kurt Schlichter’s creative and fascinating take on how conservatives can achieve victory is an optimistic breath of fresh air in a dark time.”
“This is a great read, provides a good way forward, and offers a new concept for how conservatives should be writing books about their future.”
“A fascinating read.”
“This book is exactly the electric jolt of inspiration that grass-roots activists on the Right need…. I’m energized and ready to fight!”
“Conservative Insurgency captures the spirit of my friend Andrew Breitbart with a no-holds-barred, bare-knuckle brawl for the heart and soul of our country.”
