Summary: Thoughts from a man
Review: This fellow is quite opinionated. His views certainly lean toward the right, which is parlance for someone who is a republican or conservative. A democrat or liberal is described as being on the left. I think this is because many democrats are left-handed while republicans tend to be right-handed. Though there is a pitcher on the Mets named Al Leiter who I understand is quite conservative and I believe he is a lefty. I suppose the whole left-right description of political views could stem from something else.

If you agree with him (Sean Hannity not Al Leiter, Mr. Leiter hasn't written a book that I am aware of) I think you'll enjoy this book. If you disagree with him, you most likely won't. Personally, I don't know. If I thought I had the answers to all these problems I'd probably speak up. But we need people to inform us of what's going on, right?

The bottom line is that this book is a read that is as snappy as the suit Mr. Hannity dons on its cover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great read
Review: Great book, a must read for all. Hannity's book is an easy informative read. The best thing about this book is that Hannity is a straight shooter and tells it the way he sees it. Whether you agree with his views or not this is a book you can not miss.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How dare you think for yourself!
Review: It is way too easy to read some history and figure out that a staple of reactionary governments is to scare people into sacrificing rights in order to fight enemies. Terrorism, in particular, is one of the most effective bogeymen there is.

The threat from terrorism to the US is very real, make no mistake. Terrorism is a problem. However, it has always been a problem and not just here. To assert that terrorism and despots are evil is obvious. Yeah, we all know this. To then use this as yet another springboard for attacks on your political enemies is plain cheap and transparent. Hannity is obsessed with Bill Clinton and still talks about impeaching the man for hanky panky. It would be inconceivable to talk about a president who manufactured a war, and helped ensure the US would be resented the world over. Or a VP who continues to suppress the details of meetings with corrupt corporations (Enron) in forming an energy policy, and complains about the 'eroded powers' of the executive. No, it's much better to just blame Bill Clinton, who surely must have caused the blackout, mailed anthrax to people, and is probably behind Mad Cow disease, as well as the general moral degradation of the United States (directly linked to giving gays more rights and advocating free speech.)

Sean Hannity is a professional cheerleader for the Republican party. He is not a journalist, nor is Alan Colmes. (Journalism at least attempts to appear impartial.) They are cheerleaders who repeat what you want to hear. This book is nothing new and is as lame as his previous offering.

It is very easy to wave the flag (or stand in front of the Statue of Liberty) and talk about being a patriot, and fighting the good fight, and leading the way, etc. This is professional propaganda, after all. However, it's also bankrupt of anything new or of any real solutions to fighting terrorism. This is not a book you have to study or even read through to understand. You know where it's coming from if you've ever watched Sean Hannity shout over and cut off the people on his show. Hannity is not serious, and he hardly warrants comment.

This book alone may be drivel, but a steady diet of material like this is harmful. A scared population will submit to whoever is in charge, something the people in charge expect and desire.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No elitism here, just peer-to-peer communicative writing
Review: Hannity delivers a very broad-ranging book about political philosophy without the usual elitist overtones and infinite shades of gray that so fills the pages of most books of this nature.
What seems to bother others about this book is that Hannity is not afraid to call, in his opinion, a spade a spade. For some odd reason such clarity of opinion bothers people who are less secure in their beliefs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: deliver us from people who can't see the truth
Review: i feel sorry for those who went to places like columbia u. where they teach extreme-left-wing clap-trap. i suggest they go to the internet to search for facts and not just free downloads. i also suggest that critics actually read sean's book (no, you don't have to actually, like, totally buy it!!!)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: You can make many paper boats with this book
Review: Jeff Johnson from Kalamazoo, MI United States writes that ESean Hannity puts into words what 80% of America (despite what the liberal media tells us) believes.
Sean is a true patriot. The book shows that there are still people in this country who believe that there are evil people in the world. True evil. Not grey, not the type of wishy-washy liberal apologist opinions where we blame ourselves for being attacked. There is true evil in this worldE

Thanks Jeff Johnson. I am sure that you would find plenty of other people who agree with your sentiment. For example, millions of Palestinians, Syrians, Saudis, Lebanese, Iranians, Egyptians, Iraqis, Indonesians, Pakistanis, and countless others who take Islam as their faith would agree with you whole heartedly that there is in fact true evil in this world. It just happens to be the Americans and the Israelis who are evil in that paradigm.

I am confused as to why and how you confuse Hannity's sophomoric dichotomy of human nature as a form of patriotism. Who exactly is Evil again Mr. Johnson? Is it everyone who wears a burka or a turban? Everyone who prays to Mecca and speaks Arabic? Or is it simply everyone who has darker skin than Sean Hannity? Throwing around the schoolyard term of "EvilEand then spending billions of dollars to "fightEthis conceptual noun at the expense of domestic education and healthcare is the result of confused set of egos on Pennsylvania Ave. that are strangely enough NOT at the center of our universe.

People who use the term "evilEto self appropriate some degree of higher divinity by fighting against it are living in a movie of their own making which is separate and apart from the realm of democracy in which precious leadership had governed and in which some of us still reside. The degree of perversity that this obsession with fighting "evilEhas attained is evident in the sole fact that our President sought a Constitutional Amendment against gay marriages. We can presume that it is because they are "evilE

Invigorated by reading Hannity's book, you may think yourself patriotic for a vision that so starkly contrasts good and evil. I am sure that Hannity thinks you are patriotic simply for buying his book. I for one, may be "evilEsimply for writing this comment, in which case Hannity might find it appropriate for me to check myself into Guantanamo Bay with the other souls who are there because they happened to be wearing the wrong color of skin and praying to the wrong God.

In the case of a layman, who, free from the chains of science and philosophy, chooses to purify the "evilEones from atop his soapbox under a streetlight, we may dismiss the sermon as misguided. But when it is not a soapbox, and not a pulpit, but the Oval Office, TV Studio, or publishing house at who's discretion "evilEis assigned we can not dismiss the misguidance. Let's not disguise racism, and let's not call ourselves patriots for doing so.

"Those who are willing to sacrifice liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.EEBenjamin Franklin

Summary: Bravo!
Review: Once again, Sean Hannity has written the truth; and it just burns the buttocks of the liberal minority. This book is great at exposing the excuses liberals use to justify why appeasement is the best course. Liberals want to believe EVIL is just a fantasy created by those straight-laced men at the pulpit. I know, I used to be one of those "know-it-all" liberals.

Many years ago, I believed abortion was a woman's right; especially if it was one I might get pregnant. I used to believe war was ALWAYS bad, until I met people made free by war. I used to believe taxes helped society live better; then I became a taxpayer and watched people pay for 200 dollars worth of groceries with food stamps and then walk out to a 40,000 dollar automobile. I used to believe handing out condoms in school was okay; then I met someone who contracted AIDS because he thought that condom would protect him.

Yes, there is evil in this world. And there are times when I wonder if the words EVIL and LIBERAL might just be interchangeable. But Sean Hannity approaches this subject with much more dexterity than I would. He is a statesman, a gentleman, and a great writer. He is second only to Ann Coulter at telling it like it is.

This book rocks! Buy it, read it twice, and then give it to a friend. I can think of no greater gift. Ignore the people who criticize this book; they're just mad that Sean Hannity is so good at what he does. I only wish Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter could write a few books a year!

God Bless! (yeah, I believe in Him)

Summary: Doesn't pretend to cowtow to today's media elites
Review: Mr. Hannity has written a fantastic account of many Americans' views of the Liberal Left Wing's earnest desire to undermine President Bush's credibility and, possibly as an unintended (or intended?) consequence, subvert our gains in the War on Terror... at a point where this country has to be relied on many years further to lead this world in the struggle. To be naive to the points that he eloquently states, risks the security of this nation and others in the free world. A Must Read!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Must-Read!
Review: I don't ordinarily write reviews here, but felt I had to for this book because of the large number of reviews by people who have NOT read this book.

I just finished reading this book the other night. My first observation of it was that it was not as strong or as compelling as Hannity's first book, "Let Freedom Ring." However, a coworker of mine encouraged me to read on, and I'm glad she did. As I said, I didn't feel that the first chapter was particularly strong. I didn't think it was bad, I just didn't think it would convince anyone who was not already at least moderately conservative to begin with.

However, starting with chapter two, the book becomes more and more compelling. By the time the reader finishes the chapter on Bill and Hillary Clinton, I don't see how anyone with an open mind could NOT be swayed by Mr. Hannity's arguments.

Unfortunately, I found that the end of the book was more like the beginning. I can't quite put my finger on it, I certainly DO agree with Mr. Hannity's analysis, I just don't think his arguments would be particularly convincing to win people over. It is because of the first chapter and the last two chapters that I only give the book four stars. However, despite this, I heartily recommend this book. Just be sure to at LEAST get through the first few chapters before judging it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Republican says, "Deliver us from Hannity"
Review: As a lifelong Republican people like Hannity make me despair about the public face of my party. He is an ill informed drum beater who uses broad and poorly formed arguments to espouse a doctrine that I and many of my Republican friends do not recognize. Does the war on terror have to be won...yes,do despots make the world a horrible place...yes, no one argues these points, yet Hannity thinks he's making some kind of revelation to the masses that only he is privy to. And equating despotism to liberalism is laughable, they are polar opposites!! Someone deliver this Republican from people like Hannity who ruin the reputation of my party!
