A more recent book (published October 2007) in the Conservative Democrat column is ''Why the Democrats Are Blue'' by [[Mark Stricherz]], a conservative pro-life [[Catholic]] and a Democrat.  He traces the Democratic Party's takeover in the 1968-1972 period by wealthy secularist liberals who pushed the party's old socially conservative working class coalition of northern Catholics and southern Protestants out of the party leadership, and made pro-abortion, gun control, and similar liberal positions the dominant views in the party.
