The Left’s Dream Factory
PJ Media’s Andrew Klavan talks to PolitiChick Ann-Marie Murrell about Hollywood and the potential upswing in Conservative-principled films.

If We Survive
When he wrote his latest novel If We Survive, Andrew Klavan didn’t imagine he was creating an allegory describing the 2012 election. But the election has certainly cast this adventure tale in a new light. If We Survive tells of a group of young Americans taken out of their comfort zone, and stripped of their freedoms, when they are trapped in a Central American nation undergoing a Communist revolution. Left to their own devices and wits, can they find their way home? Klavan talks about the book with PJTV’s Alexis Garcia.

It’s not a pretty picture, suggesting we won’t be “in the money” again anytime soon.

Andrew Klavan created this installment of PJTV’s Klavan On the Culture in June of 2011, but it bears revisiting now that Paul Ryan has become Mitt Romney’s running mate. Klavan examines the escalating federal debt, and compares and contrasts two competing plans to put the nation’s fiscal house in order — Paul Ryan’s approach and President Obama’s.

Happy Dependence Day
Andrew Klavan remembers the prophetic words of 19th century French thinker Alexis de Tocqueville, on how Americans might one day lose their liberties, religious freedoms and industrious qualities by becoming subservient to a government of “tyrannical kindness” that would “degrade men without tormenting them.”
