Rating:  Summary: Ann Coulter Is Right On the Money! Review: Ann Coulter lays it all out for you. The liberals in America are so self involved with themselves (witness Bill & Hillary Clinton)they don't have time to worry about the security, safety and well being of us common folks. It's always about only them! We are just peons to them as they play their little head games in the media, suck up to folks like Fidel Castro and Arab terrorists, pontificate their liberal mantra in the halls of congress, and in "our" colleges and universities. Most of them have never worked a "real job" in their entire lives and have been solely supported by the masses of hard working American taxpayers they supposedly represent. Ann Coulter's book effectively touches the nerve that has set forward the sea change in American politics. The Liberals and Democrat Party are just plain incapable of defending our security from both external and internal threats. 911 has awakened the sleeping giant of the American people. I suggest every American read Ann's book and you will easily fathom why 911 came to pass and why the Democrat Party and "other" left-wing liberals continue to not understand what their words and policies have wrought! Wake up, America! Liberalism as it practiced today will destroy the country and your freedoms! I strongly suggest you buy Ann Coulter's book today!
Rating:  Summary: Pseudo intellectual Appealing to knee jerks Review: Ann Coulter is an example of the pseudo intellectuals on television, with their arrogant, know-it-all attitude. The American people are smart enough to reject fundamentalist politics. No doubt, Coulter would have been standing behind Joseph McCarthy cheering him on. Don't waste your money on a book that might as well have been written in Sanskrit. By the time she is dancing around and around, getting dizzy, and falling down, along with her house of false truisms, the public will have moved on to a better world.
Rating:  Summary: Liberals Are Traitors - And History Proves It Review: It's this simple; liberals are traitors, and history proves this out by example...over and over and over again.All Ann is doing (with her razor sharp wit) is pointing out that liberals have a history of siding with the enemy in every contest or war in which America has been involved. Historical example after historical example is used to point out liberal's support of every enemy America has ever had in the last sixty years. She also clearly points out how the left has demonized "McCarthy" who actually exposed the traitors in our midst, and then worked to make questioning the left's "patriotism" off-limits and thus allowing the left and liberals to attack this country time and again, without being called on their anti-Americanism. In fact, the liberals simply run and hide behind the "McCarthyism" mantra, and have so twisted the argument that they have tried to make their anti-Americanism seem patriotic. Ann lets them have it with both barrels in this book, and it is delicious! It is quite simple: liberals actions over the decades have consistently met the definition of "treason" - they are traitors - and they get vicious if they're called on it. Ann is calling them on it. So, of course, the book will be met with all the venom and viciousness the liberal left can vomit up.
Rating:  Summary: Ann Coulter is outspoken anticommunist Review: Ann Coulter is outspoken anticommunist, the right-wing extremist, claiming the extraordinary accusations of treason and subversion in her book. She became increasingly paranoid and isolated after publishing "Treason". I read Ann Coulter's worthless, moronic book throught to the end rather quickly, trying to understand what her point was in writing such a laughable garbage. Inaccurate, out of context quoting is a motif of the book. I find them to be unprincipled, selective, illogical. Her writing is inspired by a reactionary, one-dimensional 'which-side-of-the-fence-are-you-on' dialectic. What her writing lacks (as does much similar writing) is a foundation in an understanding of the complexities and interdependence of various disciplines. Her diatribes are informed by a shallow, selective reading of history, philosophy and political science. It's too bad so many folks will read this who still have not read Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Friedrich Engels, Michael Moore, Stephen Hawking, James Carville and Paul Begala , David Brock, Leo Tolstoy, etc., etc. I would advise picking up any book by any of the aforementioned authors before reading "Treason". The book is a propaganda campaign for Coulter's shrill, smug, elitist, lopsided, and hypocritical views, with no capacity for thinking with both sides of the brain, and possessing the intellectual density of mayonnaise. There are no thoughtful essays, here. No interesting ruminations or insightful perceptions on the nuances of life. It has no ideas. Ann Coulter is a hypocritical harpie totally incapable of seeing subtleties or nuance, totally humorless. She is a lunatic, a person with serious mental problems and deep-rooted anger. Don't read this poorly written book.
Rating:  Summary: Better than Slander! Review: I went ahead and bought this book the first day, along with "The Dittohead Bartender's Guide", and it wasn't a let down. After reading "Slander" a year ago, I didn't think a better conservative book could be written, but I was wrong. "Treason" is ten times better! I also highly recommend "Bob Cobb's Dittohead Bartender's Guide", a recommendation of Rush Limbaugh. Both books will keep any conservative happy for hours on end!
Rating:  Summary: Seething Hatred from America's Perky High Priestess of Hate Review: Ann Coulter continues to plumb the stygian depths of Republican hatred in her latest work of fiction "Treason". Basically, her schtick remains unchanged from "Slander", her last diatribe. Liberal=BAD, Conservative=GOOD. The book is written in a breezy easy-to-read style, this is a plus since her typical reader has an IQ of room temperature. Attempting to position herself above the yowling pack of conservative hatemongers nowadays, Coulter offers a lengthy revisionist tribute her spiritual stepfather, the late Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy. Recommended reading for those polluted souls consumed by hatred
Rating:  Summary: good parody except no punchlines! Review: I started this book, and found it had many of the elements of great satire. It reminded me of the gentleman who styles himself "Gen. JC Christian, patriot" and posts his parodies at http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/ Unfortunately, Coulter often leaves out the punchline, and that has confused many of her readers. I can't resist a few examples: (from Page 5) "Liberals unreservedly call all conservatives fascists, racists, and enemies of civil liberties with no facts whatsoever." That's humorous because she never gives us a single example of a liberal who does all these things; much less evidence that liberals as a group do. This form of humor is called irony. Another: "Liberals relentlessly attack their country, but we can't call them traitors, which they manifestly are, because that would be 'McCarthyism,' which never existed." See, that's a joke, because McCarthy himself used the word. For example, in Wisconsin in his 1952 re-election he said "McCarthyism is Americanism with its sleeves rolled." Also in 1952, he published a collection of speeches "McCarthyism: The Fight for America." Yet Coulter continues to deny McCarthyism existed. Such a glaring contradiction is clear proof of parody. Another funny: She accuses General George Marshall (WWII commander, later Sec'y of State), creator of "the Marshall Plan" that rebuilt Europe after WWII, of a "strange attraction" to "sedition" and calls him a "sniffing pantywaist." Here's why that's funny. Winston Churchill called Marshall the "true architect of victory" in the West European arena of World War II, summing up Marshall's efforts against Nazism. Clearly, the Marshall Plan was our nation's greatest deed ever in foreign affairs, and our best single bulkwark against communism. Marshall was also one of the creators of NATO, and was Sec'y of Defense during the beginning of the Korean War (see his short biography at http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/gcm.htm). Indubitably, Marshall did more against Communism than any other single American. Questioning Marchall's patriotism only makes sense as ironic humor. The problem is, Coulter often leaves out the punchlines. Or, to put it more accurately, the punchline is elsewhere in the historical record, like Senator McCarthy's own book, or Marshall's biography. The problem is, many readers take the book literally and don't recognize the satires and the parodies. I admit, I skipped ahead in the book looking for the big punchline, but I never found it. Therefore, I'm sorry to have to rate this book as flawed humor: It's a very long joke without the punchline.
Rating:  Summary: So bad its treasonous Review: I cant believe I read past the first page. Once again I am horified by some one who views the world with such narrow mindedness. Please don't waste your time.
Rating:  Summary: you liberal whackos Review: To the liberal whacko "reviewer" trying to smear Coulter as an anti-Semite because this said "reviewer" decided to substitute "Jew" for "liberal" in some of her quotes: you are missing the whole point buddy. If it DID say "Jew" she would indeed be wrong, and a hopeless racist, anti-semite, judging fellow Americans on superficialities such as religion, skin color, etc. But that ISN'T what she said... she said "liberal", not Jew... "liberal" actually makes her statements TRUE, and not anti-semitic in the least... the modern-day intonation of the term "liberal" (in case some of you out there are not aware) refers NOT to such a superficiality as skin color or gender, but rather a VOLUNTARY ideology... the way you choose to see the world- ie, government is always the solution, cradle-to-grave, no one is responsible for the actions they take... In this sense, she is 100% correct when she states that liberals are consistently on the wrong side of history... usually the anti-US, anti-freedom side!... Nice try, go back to the drawing board you LIBERAL (not "Jew") demagogues!
Rating:  Summary: Libs..... Review: "according to Merriam-Webster: it is "a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the political and civil liberties." Now that *is* evil, right?" No, but that definition is centuries old, and it applies to Classical liberalism. It hardly applies to modern day liberals which is exactly how Coulter is using the word. That old definition also says: "individual freedom from restraint especially by government regulation in all economic activity and usually based upon free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard" Does anyone know any liberals who believe in lack of "government regulation in all personal economic activity"? "Allow me to quote her in one instance that perfectly embodies the entire aim of the book; it's from the very first page, and it's fully accessible from Amazon: "Whenever the nation is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy. This is their essence. The left's obsession with the crimes of the West and their Rousseauian respect for Third World savages all flow from this subversive goal." Is she serious? And, furthermore, does she know that if one were to substitute the word 'liberal' in her book with the word 'Jew,' she would sound like Joseph Goebbels?" And here we have the typical liberal tactic of dragging in the "nazi" comparisons. "(Here's another sampling from Treason, complete with a simple substitution written in brackets: "Whether they are rooting for the atheistic regimes of Stalin and Mao, satanic suicide bombers and terrorists ... [Jews] always take the side of savages against civilization" (pp. 285-6)). As a Jew myself I find it interesting that a simple substitution like this can reveal so much about the cruel, sadistic nature of her book." Your analogy is wrong. The Jews never constituted an actual threat to Germany. They were merely scapegoated. Liberals, on the other hand, are a clear and present danger to our Republic. These people have ripped apart the Constitutional limitations of the Republic and the social fabric of our society. You are exactly what you are bashing. Coulter has been completely logical. The assertion of liberals "taking the side of savages against civilization" is not exactly an emotional one as much as it is a logical one. You inject anti-semitism to the equation so as to bring emotion into the debate, because you cannot win on the facts (suggesting we rewrite what she said by replacing the word "liberal" with "jew". That is not winning with the facts. It cannot be denied that modern day liberals have sided against their own country, with American enemies, even at times of war). Because LOGIC leads to conservatism. Conservatism is the result of logic.
