Rating: Summary: Truth truly Revealed!! Review: Hannity hits the nail right on the head as he clearly shows how history has been affected by evil both outside and within America. What's amazing is how we Americans are often so short sighted and more concerned about who will give us more government handouts than the long term welfare of our nation for our children and grandchildren. Hannity clearly demonstrates the different worldviews that are present in our political system and why it is important to fight the liberal lies that democrats and media throw at us. This book reveals not only the importance of supporting President Bush and his policies but the need to confront the evils of this world, that being terrosim, state sponsored dictators and equally as important the liberal ideas/candidates within our own back year!
Rating: Summary: A view from the bottom... Review: Sean Hannity, a founding member of the Log Cabin Republicans, presents us with a heart-rending story of his childhood, growing up -- as he puts it -- as a "buxom woman in a little boy's body." Many of us have been through the same experiences, but Sean brings his customary wit, tenderness and sheer humanity to the task and the book can rank with the best of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Eddie Said. The way he learned to "be a man" by fighting "terrorism, despotism and liberalism" will move anybody who has maintained a yearning heart. I'd rank this book with "The Well of Loneliness."
Rating: Summary: Some good points, but way too one-sided to be meaningful Review: (...) First, Sean has written a book that is researched quite well, even a glance at the notes leaves that fact without dispute. He attempts to look at past conflicts, Hitler's Nazi Germany for example, to demonstrate that there exists such a thing as "evil" and that it must be confronted directly and called for what it is. He spends a great deal of time championing the causes of Reagan, Churchill and GW Bush, while blasting the non-action taken by Clinton or Carter. It was on this attack of Carter I often strongly disagreed. Jimmy Carter has proven to be a man of peace and has demonstrated perhaps the finest character of any former President. While he often struggled politically in office, and that is surely open for criticism, the shots Hannity takes at Carter now are really missing the tremendous good Mr. Carter has done, and is doing in the world. So while I think that the views expressed here are so one-sided that they are not all that meaningful, he does make some excellent points as well. One of them is to expose the moral relativism of the liberal agenda here in America. This morally bankrupt philosophy is not only devoid of reason, logic and common sense; it will continue to put America at a disadvantage in the war on terror. For example, on page 46 he describes the typical liberal response to an act of evil, by saying "Even in the face of such evidence, the liberal elites still avoid using the word "evil". For them, the term is too judgmental". This is of course an accurate depiction of liberalism as it exists today. However, Sean doesn't take the evidence to as strong a conclusion as Tammy Bruce does in "The Death of Right and Wrong". Moral relativism is in fact a serious degradation in the moral character of our nation, but there are better presentations of this issue than what Sean postulates here. For another look see "Moral Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air". (...)
Rating: Summary: Another neocon book without new insight Review: (...)I feel obligated to tell readers this is just another right-wing neocon propaganda book which is very dangerous for our country. Bush and this country are already hated than Osama-bin-laden because of the kind of policies and reviews expressed in this book. These neocons can't see the writing the wall and the facts & will attack anyone who holds views that are different than their views. They will destroy their character instead of talking about the message.
Rating: Summary: ??? Review: What an eloquent title. If you would buy this book, you are a moron.

Rating: Summary: Mind Vomit Review: An illogical and scurrilous screed by an entertainer masquerading as a commentator/journalist. This "neocon" garbage needs to be deconstructed for what it truly is: an emergent American neo-fascism. Think for yourself.
Rating: Summary: Who are the "enemies of freedom"? Review: This book reminds me of Judge Brandeis' dissent in Olmstead v. United States (1928), 277 U.S. 438 at 479: "Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning, but without understanding." Whatever happened to the conservatives I grew up with, who believed that a democracy needs to be suspicious of leaders who want to limit our freedom? Is it possible that the "enemies of freedom" are the people who do not believe in the freedoms found in our Constitution, who engage in character assasination when we ask questions, who suggest that in the post 9/11 era, logic no longer holds, and that we have to take extreme measures without examining whether they are directed against the right target or whether they are likely to succeed. The message of this book is, "sit down and shut up, give the government any power it asks for, don't ask for explanations". If you don't do that, you are on the side of the "enemies of freedom". Character assasination has replaced logic - just call someone a "liberal" or question their loyalty to the president, and many people will not notice all the disturbing facts. It's a very scary pattern, found in this book and throughout our culture. May we be delivered from this evil. Jonathan
Rating: Summary: The truth shall set you free Review: and this book is full of the Truth. Why do Democrats such as Zell Miller and Ed Koch support President Bush? And Ed Koch admits that he agrees with Bush on few or no domestic issues - but says that Bush is the best person to deal with terrorism, and that trumps all issues! Well, the reason is obvious - but if it's not obvious to you, get this book, read it (or have it read to you, if you're from Rio Linda), and it should then become obvious.
Rating: Summary: Take the time to read it! Review: Yes, Sean tends to get excitable and odds are you are not going to change his opinion but he is a thoughtful, articulate individual whose writings are interesting and well written. He is passionate about his country and it shows in his writings and his speeches. This is the second of his books I have read and feel it is even better than the first. Read it with an open mind, you won't agree with every point he makes but I would be willing to bet you will stop and think several times throughout the book and this country needs people to stop and think for themselves, rather than become drones of the mainstream media constantly sipping Kool-aid and nodding vacantly at the evening news.
