    How about a memoir of a successful actor who worked his way out of poverty, served as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne, studied acting at Chicago University on the GI bill, toured in a David Merrick musical, costarred with Sandra Bullock in a nighttime TV series, did over 30 Law and Order shows and was a conservative. The blog about his life got 26,000 views. It’s now an ebook. Please take a look thomasorourkeactor.blogspot.com

    It doesn’t matter how many right-on right-wing movies, documentaries, tweets etc you have because the ideological fight has already been lost by the time young people leave the leftist dominated education system. That’s where the fight really should be focused.

      Fear not little Eva, I mean little Antony. And that is a quote from the BOOK that moved the USA to fight the civil war, UNCLE TOM’S CABIN. I can also see that you don’t have kids. The leftist dominated education system is the best program possible for turning out right wingers. No child in the entire history of mankind has ever believed anything their parents or teachers told them.

    Here’s a terribly overlooked (but classic) “weapon” to deliver the truth-and effortlessly to the readers. “A story beats a sermon every time.”
    Remember the Power of storytelling, suspenseful narration, chronicle. Since early campfires, myths etc. moved people. And especially if the characters are just like the readers here and now. And if things are–eerily suspenseful…
    THE PROPOSAL. An excellent narrative writer team (along with excellent Islamist specialist) creates the novel “2084.” This chronicle skillfully describes–creates–the chronicle of America slowly, insidiously sliding down to the end of being the United States of Islamic America, step by suspenseful step amid conflicts and action which will retain the readers as no documentary can do. I mean “thick description,” the Smith family in Peoria experiencing creeping sharia (insert examples of all aspects), the Jones family in Bangor fearing for their security, the Brown family in Seattle seeing political majority takeover: no more libraries, Sharia the law of the land. And all page-turning as no expository report or lecture can be. And grounded because the readers are the Smiths etc.!
    DO YOU NOT SEE, that this overlooked “delivery-system” of the medication of Truth, via the vehicle of Story, could reach millions? “Hey, you gotta read this…” Via dramatization and the gradual unfolding which this topic shows? And right here now, us…..Heck, book racks contain popular novels which thousands pay money and take time to read–willing subjects with burrs of truth on their pant legs!
    Called 2084 because of Orwell’s novel. And yes, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was also powerful. HOW ABOUT IT? How can it NOT be worth the effort?
