Sinopsis:
What is a retrograde?  
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.
