Rating: Summary: The Truth Hurts -- "Appeasers" Beware Review: This book does an excellent job of utilizing historical facts in backing up some very interesting theories. If you believe in running from a fight, you probably will not like this one. But if you believe that we as Americans must take a stand against the evil that wishes to destroy our way of life, this book is a must read!! This book goes beyond simply talking politics and challenges the reader to seriously ponder what the furture may hold if the Liberals again achieve control of the White House and Congress.
Rating: Summary: Hannity has produced another best seller Review: I first read LET FREEDOM RING and I was impressed by Hannity's plain spoken conviction. Then, I watched him a few times on television, and was pleased at how well he handled himself on his feet. Obviously a very bright young man. This book is, I think, another winner. He makes good, common sense, and most of it seems indisputable. Of course, if I were a Democrat, I would be incensed by his attacks on the political left, and so I do not recommend those folks buying his book--although I wish that they would digest, believe and act on his thoughts. But, at 75, life experience tells me that hardly anyone changes their political convictions based on the arguments from the other side; especially when they are forcefully presented by one of a spokesmen from the opposite camp.
Sometimes, contrary to common sense and Sean Hannity, I think that the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, may have some good, even if unintended, consequences. For generations--since the 1930s in my own memory, this country has been drifting rapidly away from its historic freedoms and ideals. Virtually every moral value I was brought up with has been turned on its head, in my lifetime. If a band of enemies had been intent upon destroying all of our institutions, wiping out our values and customs, they could not have done a better job. There is no point in going into detail. Young Hannity has done a good job with this book. Now, since 9/11/2001, people are aware at least of the dangers presenting themselves to our system of government and our institutions. I can empathize with the angry people on the political left who are enraged at the accusations he makes here, even while agreeing with him, and I understand their passion as they write negative reviews and angrily give negative votes to the positive reviews, as they will, no doubt, to this one. I would do the same, perhaps, if the word "Republican" were substituted everywhere that Hannity uses, "Democrat." Yet, I can only agree with him. Something has changed in the American character. Something important. And it has happened since the Second World War, since I was an adult. I've seen, for the first time in my lifetime, American citizens refusing to support their own country in wartime, using mind-altering drugs is epidemic, marriage, always a fragile institution, is being destroyed, as is integrity, courage, patriotism, our religious institutions, and our government is tending toward socialism at an exponential rate. Our historic heroes are being debunked, explained away, and laughed off. Cynicism is our new national religion. No one will ever accuse us of being naive or innocent, boy! I don't know all the reasons, but I suspect it begins with the breakdown of the family which is currently being exacerbated by the liberal drive for same-sex "marriages," and the sophists' sneers at patriotism. I'm glad I'm an old man, and will probably not live to see the total destruction of the society that nurtured me. This is a good book. I hope you will read it. There is a lot of truth in it.(...)
Rating: Summary: An Amazingly Well Written Book Review: This book was so well written, it amazed me. All the facts were supported by the data given. I was taken aback at how good Mr. Hannity is at writing. I am a conservative, and I agree with him. Not because I allow my opinions to be dictated to me by someone, but because I explore them for myself. For the moron from Fort Lauderdale, I am not some mindless zombie just because I believe the same things as the author of this amazing book. Thank you.
Rating: Summary: LIBS RUN FROM THE TRUTH!! BURRY YOUR HEADS IN THE SAND! Review: First off, GREAT JOB, SEAN! Once again you turned the flood light of truth on the liberals! They are scurrying around like roaches trying to hide from it (or are too stupid to just face it like real men and women). Libs are the biggest bunch of appeasers and yellow bellies, it's sickening. Their grandparents (who were tough and fought bravely in WWI & WWII) would be disgusted by their antics today. The only way this country will remain the strongest and most powerful in the world will be if it's run by Conservatives. GOD help us all if we have another ultra-lib like John "Scary" Kerry in office. He will SURELY decimate our military (just like Clinton) and give away all of our power and sovereignty to the U.N. (United Nutjobs). And of course, he will take credit for the economy rebounding because of plans put in place by the Bush Admin., once again, just like Clinton did with the economic plans of Reagan and Bush I. I'm almost finished reading this book and will pass it on to my son who bravely fights his liberal teachers in school everyday who try to poison his mind with their agenda and lies. (He was reprimanded for saying aloud that Reagan and Bush have been our greatest presidents of the last 20 years) Keep fighting the good fight Sean, and bring their evil to light!
Rating: Summary: What a great book Review: This book is the best of its kind on the market today. Thank God for Sean Hannity!!!
Rating: Summary: You may want to check your facts Review: There are so many erroneous and downright false statements in this book it boggles the mind. Sean, this is making us Republicans look like idiots the more we print things that either distort the truth or flat out lie. It is so easy to check facts now with the Internet I can't believe you and Ann fail to do your research.
Rating: Summary: Mr. Hannity: Welcome to the Club... Review: Once again, Sean Hannity writes a wonderful and colorful book on American conservatism. As an Irish-American born to Irish immigrants, Mr. Hannity draws from his own experiences, demonstrating that to fully become accepted among the American establishment, one has to stray as far away as possible from one's own immigrant and "minority" past by being as "republican" as possible. Mr. Hannity's insightful comments in regards to African-Americans, Hispanics and alike is justification of the theory that "new republicans" has to keep pushing down vulnerable minority groups to gain admiration from the old guard that one desperately wants to be part of someday. I think Mr. Hannity is brilliant and is not "anti" any minority group. But to fully understand where Mr. Hannity is coming from and why he can not afford to show any sympathy for other hard-working, minority Americans one has to read "How the Irish Became White" by Noel Ignatiev to gain some gravity on the issue. In fact, after reading Mr. Hannity's books -including this one -- and using Ignatiev's book as a back-drop, I really appreciated Hannity's drive and desire to make his mark as a "new" republican. I also watch his show with a deeper understanding particularly when he proudly said the other day that he does "not like or respect" a certain African-American, self-made and successful film maker on national TV or the other comments about other minorities his made on TV and in this book. Clearly, this book has to be a must read for all first generation republicans!!!
Rating: Summary: Hannity's DELIVER US FROM EVIL: The Clashing of Ideas Review: Sean Hannity's DELIVER US FROM EVIL boldly asserts that evil exists and it intends to harm all things American. Hannity suggests that the upcoming Presidential election is far more than the contrasting views of two political parties. Rather, he sees this election as a collision between two mutually exclusive worldviews. The Democratic view is that true evil does not exist. For those despots who are truly thuggish in nature--Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Ladin, Jong Kim Il--the Democratic belief is that they are mentally disturbed individuals who can either be reasoned with, or failing that, can be bought off. The Republicans claim, in contrast, that evil in its gruesome Biblical adaptation is real enough and needs no psychological mumbo-jumbo to explain it. Hannity claims that no Democrat can ever admit that America needs to be delivered from evil since evil does not exist. Hannity takes the reader through a guided tour of American history covering the period from Jimmy Carter's presidency to Bush's. Prior to Carter, Hannity notes that when America was fighting a war, there was an unspoken agreement between both parties to set aside their political differences in the face of a common enemy. Hannity praises the stalwart resolution of Democratic presidents like FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK. However, beginning with Jimmy Carter, Hannity sees the Democratic Party as increasingly politicized, even to the extent of putting partisan politics above national interest and security. Hannity has some rough words for Carter, whom he accuses of allowing both Iran and North Korea to fester into the hot spots they currently are that George Bush is trying to clean up and is paradoxically being blamed for. Appeasement, in Hannity's lexicon, is a dirty word. He notes that it did not work with Neville Chamberlain against Hitler in 1939, nor against the Ayatollah in 1980, nor will it work against any of the current crop of terrorist leaders masquerading as the benevolent rulers so often forgiven in the front pages of the New York Times. Chamberlain had his Churchill, Carter his Reagan, and now Kerry his Bush. For those supporters of the Democratic line that when the United States is attacked again, President Kerry ought to forego unilateral retaliation and instead run to the multilateral United Nations asking for Resolution # 21 to halt the aggression, Hannity would ask is there even one instance that President Kerry would ever consider striking back without the say-so of Kofi Annan? The reply of President Kerry ought to give pause to anyone who even contemplates voting Democratic. Hannity's DELIVER US FROM EVIL is a thoughtful and rightful warning that this country cannot afford a waffler sitting in the Oval Office.
Rating: Summary: Liberals are girly men Review: It seems to me that liberals are like ostriches who put their head in the sand to pretend scary things don't exist. "Why can't we just get along?". I don't know, how about taking a plane ride over to Afghanistan and asking them directly. I'm sure they'll have an answer for you, although it will probably be in the form of a bullet. And let's face facts: The "right" is made up of people who have gone through years of school, military service, intelligence, politics, have PhD's, etc etc. The "left" is made up of actors who pretend for a living, and a comedian (Al Franken). hmm. Wake up.
Rating: Summary: Conservatism Review: This book is great for Liberals and Conservatives. Why do I say it is great for Liberals? A better question for everyone is why do you read in the first place...to learn. Why do people insist on only reading something that expounds upon their own beliefs? The truth is that many Liberals read and watch and listen to Sean Hannity to expand their mind to another way of thinking. If, for no other reason, to strengthen their arguments against Conservatism. If you buy this book for no other reason, you should buy it because it provides an elucidation of the Conservative belief system. Some argue that we should do away with Democrats and Republicans and just live in a world of harmony without partisan bickering. It's total nonsense. If we did away with the titles, then we would be left with the reds and the blues. There are two major different ways of thinking, and the Liberals who slam this book, on this board, can only be doing so because they don't want you to become educated to a Conservative way of thinking. Knowledge is power, as the cartoon says, and while this may not make you a Conservative it will definitely provide you with a great deal of information you need in making your eventual decision.
