Download BioHardcover | St. Martin's Press In How the Right Lost Its Mind, Sykes presents an impassioned, regretful, and deeply thoughtful account of how the American conservative movement came to lose its values. How did a movement that was defined by its belief in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, traditional values, and civility find itself embracing bigotry, political intransigence, demagoguery, and outright falsehood? |
Hardcover | St. Martin's Press The cost of a college degree has increased by 1,125% since 1978—four times the rate of inflation. Total student debt has surpassed $1.3 trillion. Nearly two thirds of all college students must borrow to study, and the average student graduates with more than $30,000 in debt. Many college graduates under twenty-five years old are unemployed or underemployed. And professors—remember them?—rarely teach undergraduates at many major universities, instead handing off their lecture halls to cheaper teaching assistants. So, is it worth it? That’s the question Charles J. Sykes attempts to answer in Fail U., exploring the staggering costs of a college education, the sharp decline in tenured faculty and teaching loads, the explosion of administrative jobs, the grandiose building plans, and the utter lack of preparedness for the real world that many now graduates face. |
Trade Paperback | A Nation of MoochersAmerica's Addiction to Getting Something for Nothing Have we reached a tipping point where more Americans depend on the efforts of others than on their own? Are we becoming a nation of moochers? In A Nation of Moochers, Charles J. Sykes argues that we are already very close to that point, if we have not already crossed the line: from the corporate bailouts on Wall Street, to enormous pension, healthcare, and other entitlement costs, to questionable tax exemptions for businesses and individuals, to the alarming increases in personal default and dependency, the new moocher culture cuts across lines of class, race, and private and public sectors. |
Hardcover | 50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in SchoolReal-World Antidotes to Feel-Good Education Charles J. Sykes offers fifty life lessons not included in the self-esteem-laden, reality-light curriculum of most schools. Here are truths about what kids will encounter in the world post-schooling, and ideas for how parents can reclaim lost ground - not with pep talks and touchy-feely negotiations, but with honesty and respect. |
e-Book | The End of PrivacyThe Attack on Personal Rights at Home, at Work, On-Line, and in Court In The End of Privacy, Charles Sykes traces the roots of privacy in our nation's founding and Constitution, and reveals its inexorable erosion in our time. From our homes and offices to the presidency, Sykes defines what we have lost, citing example after example of citizens who have had their conversations monitored, movements surveilled, medical and financial records accessed, sexual preferences revealed, homes invaded, possessions confiscated, and even lives threatened - all in the name of some alleged higher social or governmental good. Sykes concludes by suggesting steps by which we might begin to recover the territory we've lost: our fundamental right to our own lives. |
Trade Paperback | Dumbing Down Our KidsWhy American Children Feel Good About Themselves But Can't Read, Write, or Add Dumbing Down Our Kids offers a full-scale investigation of the new educational fad, sometimes called 'Outcome Based Education' -the latest in a long series of 'reforms' that has eroded our schools. It addresses issues such as why our kids rank to, or at the bottom of international tests in math and science; why 'self-esteem' has supplanted grades and genuine achievements; how the educational establishment lowers standards and quality in our schools-while continuing to raise their budgets and our school taxes; the dumbing down of the curriculum so everyone can pass-but no one excel; and how parents, students, and teachers can evaluate schools and restore quality learning. |
Trade Paperback | A Nation of VictimsThe Decay of the American Character One of the most talked-about books in years, A Nation of Victims established Charles Sykes as a persuasive, witty, and controversial commentator on American life and society. The plaint of the victim - It's not my fault - has become the loudest and most influential voice in America, an instrument of personal and lasting political change. In this incisive, pugnacious, frequently hilarious book, Charles Sykes examines the erosion of our society and offers hope in the prospect of a culture of renewed character. |

Yesterday Rachel Martin of National Public Radio was interviewingCharlie Sykes on Morning Edition for his thoughts on current state of the Republican Party. Sykes has won national fame as a anti-Trump Republican, who seemed the perfect guy to talk about the party’s handling of the impeachment trial and the refusal of Republican House members to vote for removing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s committee assignments despite her calling for the execution of Democratic politicians. Juicy stuff to chew on.
“As a Republican, Charlie, where do you see the middle anymore?” Martin asked.
Sykes began his answer with this: “Well, I don’t consider myself a Republican anymore.”Martin hadn’t seen that coming. It kind of undercut the idea of Sykes as a GOP diagnostician. Yet she recovered, and in her wrap-up of the interview described Sykes as a “former Republican, we should say – apologies for that. Charlie.”
You can’t blame Martin for not knowing of Sykes’ latest change. Only Charlie would know how many times he has switched parties and ideologies. Here is the short version of the many switches I was able to document: Sykes was Democrat and supporter of liberal Eugene McCarthy in his teens, converted to Catholic and became a pro-life conservative in college, then became a liberal after getting his journalism degree and going to work for the Milwaukee Journal. He was seen as a Democrat and liberal in his years as Milwaukee Magazine editor in the 1980s, back when the state’s power structure was dominated by Democrats.

Yet by 1990, he had become a huge fan of Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson, the man Sykes had lampooned in the pages of Milwaukee Magazine. Wisconsin’s power structure was moving to the right, and Sykes moved right along with it. He dubbed himself a “recovered liberal,” getting lots of publicity for his dramatic transformation, and soon connected to Mark Belling, who helped Sykes land a job as a right wing talk show host on WISN, which in turn helped him get the coveted morning talk show at WTMJ.
This dramatic public recantation worked once, so why not again and simply recant your recantation? After 24 years of big paychecks as a talk radio host and from conservative groups for books he wrote, Sykes became a never-Trumper just before quitting the job and soon began promoting the new, new Sykes. That would be the man who suddenly realized how destructive talk radio was and was driven to confess the error of his ways. Sykes become the titan of talk radio traitors, getting coverage from countless publications for his trashing of conservatives, winning a position as contributor to MSNBC and becoming a writer and editor-at-large for the anti-Trump conservative publication The Bulwark. Meanwhile, he has continued to make dramatic discoveries of where he went wrong, renouncing his old buddy, former Sheriff David Clarke or turning against an old favorite like Senator Ron Johnson. Are there still more recantations to come? Only Charlie knows.
