Rating: Summary: Right Wing Biased Review: This book was too clearly biased toward the left and is not centered at all!!! Not a good read.
Rating: Summary: We ARE mainstream America Review: I am proud to be an American in the mainstream that is represented by Mr. Hannity's book. This book is a page turner in that it is so incredibly refreshing to read a conservative worldview applied to current events that I just can't seem to stop or to put it down. Books like this reaffirm why I don't watch network news.In reading the book, don't miss the page between the dedication and the contents. If only we could ALL live accordingly...
Rating: Summary: More Spin from The Right Review: Once again Hannity has demonstrated his [favour] to the extreme right. This is an important book for open-minded adults of the world to read - read and understand the pathology of extremism, its methods and its madness.
Rating: Summary: Sean Hannity, you conservative rascal you... Review: If you are a fan of Hannity & Colmes (as everyone should be) and liked Sean Hannity's first book (Let Freedom Ring), then you will absolutely love this book. (...) This book ranges from issues from WWII all the way to the War in Iraq and everything in between. Sure, he comes across as forcing his opinion on others from time to time, and if you find yourself in disagreement with him (which I often do) you find yourself struggling to hold back tearing pages out of the book. When he makes a point, however, whether you are in agreement or not, you find yourself compelled to consider what he has said and give it some careful analysis. Sean Hannity has shown me on more than one occasion how woefully mistaken I have been about certain political topics--though I wish I could write a book as eloquently as he can so I can show him where he himself is woefully mistaken-- ; ) --but anybody who likes to discuss our society, culture, and politics needs to give this book a look.
Rating: Summary: I Hope We learn from History!!!!! Review: What Sean Hannity does in his book Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism is show us that evil does exists in the world, he uses examples from our past like the Holocaust, WW2, the USSR and there domination of Eastern Europe; and he brings the argument to the present with what Islamic terrorists have been doing. He also shows us how we (most of us anyway) use to believe in Good and Evil and that we would rally against evil and defeat it. He proves this out with the above examples of WW2 and the Cold war (both of which we the USA won). Hannity also shows us that there were always appeasers of evil in the world; Such as Nevil Chamberlain who appeased Hitler and John Kerry (and the Nuclear freeze movement) Who was (and were) an appeaser of the USSR. He shows us that the appeasers are growing in our country and these appeasers have no moral base. They are relativists and do not believe in good or evil. If the relativists appeasers were the majority in the 40s we would be speaking German now and the whole Jewish culture would have been wiped off the face of the earth (which is the Islamic terrorists primary goal of today). You would have to wonder how anyone could think WW2 and The Holocaust, Stopping Hitler and defeating communism was relative? And now they, the appeasers, see Stopping terrorists is relative. The Big problem is there ranks are growing, and Hannity is calling us all back to solid moral beliefs, and a belief in good and evil. Beliefs that would cause us to fight for our freedom and democracy again. Hannity proves his points with example after example. Hannity is totally logically consistent and I think this book is a must read for every American, a must read for every Lover of Freedom and a must read especially for anyone who thinks that terrorism is over exaggerated. We had better learn from History or we may lose our way of life.
Rating: Summary: HANNITY WANTS ME TO GO TO WAR ! Review: After reading the ULTRA-HAWK Hannity's masterpiece of cheery picking history, I realized that Hannity thinks there is evil in the world, and that I should enlist for the front lines on the war on terror and evil. However, Hannity never served his country. Hannity, if you're reading this review, I want to inform you that it's not too late to enlist and put yourself on the front lines of our war on terrorism in Iraq and Afganistan, like you want me and others to do. Hannity, If you do not enlist you are an appeaser and a chickenhawk. Hannity, SERVE YOUR COUNTRY !!!! Hannity doesn't have much to say about the Reagan adninistration's appeasement with their Iran-Contra affair. He cheery picks history, reader, remmember this.
Rating: Summary: Simplistic and divisive Review: Go ahead and read this book but evaluate the evidence from many different sources with an open mind and you'll reach the conclusion that the worldview esposed by Hannity if simplistic and devisive. Any thinking person can see that the world is composed of shades of gray, not black and white. To claim the latter forces you to either claim that all of your own actions in life are either right (an arrogant, self-righteous boast that is a sin in and of itself) or to admit that at least some of your actions are terribly and absolutely wrong (evil in the worldview of Hannity). I do not claim that there is no evil - there are certainly terrible, unforgivable actions at the dark side of the continuum - but I reject the notion that everyone and everything can be categorized as being either on the side of right or the side of wrong. The Republicans have mastered the art of diminishing their opponents through ridicule and stating as obvious fact things that just aren't so, implying that anyone who says differently is a liar (just this morning we have the Whitehouse emphatically saying that anyone who would question the adequacy of the President's response to 9/11 is "deeply irresponsible" and "flat out wrong") - this is essentially the same approach as the schoolyard bully - didn't vote for that ineffective and bloated missle program? - aha, you're weak on defense and you're a communist-loving, terrorist-pandering, wimp. Ridiculous! Their approach to political discourse prevents thoughtful debate about the issues and fails to recognize that there is more than one way to accomplish a goal. With respect to evil in the world, one can make a very powerful argument that in pursuing our own self-interest (I see nothing wrong with this as an underlying motivation), the best approach is to put the lion's share of our resources into fostering international cooperation. The Republicans take the self-righteous view that we can do whatever we see fit and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks of us. Those that say otherwise are spineless, appeasers. If you seek the "permssion" of the international cmmunity, you're a wimp. I suggest that a smart foreign policy calculates the costs and benefits (to the US) of different actions that we might take and then chooses the best option in terms of maximizing benefit and minimizing cost. Fostering positive opinions about the US is not something we do just to make everyone else happy, we do it in our own interests. This approach recognizes that making as enemies all adherents of another religion is a terribly costly and foolish thing to do. Going to war in Iraq yielded few benefits in terms of increased safety for Americans and has cost us in many ways, some of which have yet to be realized.
Rating: Summary: A Great, but Grim Reminder Review: This book is must reading for all of America, because it reminds us of what needs to be done to protect our way of life and future generations. I am sending copies to all six of our children and encouraging them to pass it along to their friends.
Rating: Summary: Amazing, wonderful, treasure, best book ever!!! Review: These are the lessons I learned from Sean's newest book. This is not mindless rhetoric, these are all facts straight to us from the most honest man in the media, Sean Hannity. 1. The liberals are our destruction. They foster terrorism and direct it. They want to destroy the American government and our people. This plan must be blocked. 2. There are no distinctions between liberals. Each liberal is a sworn enemy of the American people. If he does not make his hostility plain, it is only from cowardice and slyness, not because he loves us. 3. The liberals are to blame for each American soldier who falls in this war. They have him on their conscience, and must also pay for it. 4. If someone wears the Democratic donkey, he is an enemy of the people. Anyone who deals with him is the same as a liberal and must be treated accordingly. He earns the contempt of the entire people, for he is a craven coward who leaves them in the lurch to stand by the enemy. 5. The liberals enjoy the protection of our enemies. That is all the proof we need to show how harmful they are for our people. 6. The liberals are the enemy's agents among us. He who stands by them aids the enemy. 7. The liberals have no right to claim equality with us. If they wish to speak on the streets, in lines outside shops or in public transportation, they should be ignored, not only because their are simply wrong, but because they are liberals who have no right to a voice in the community. 8. If the liberals appeal to your sentimentality, realize that they are hoping for your forgetfulness, and let them know that you see through them and hold them in contempt. 9. A decent enemy will deserve our generosity after we have won. The liberal however is not a decent enemy, though he tries to seem so. 10. The liberals are responsible for terrorism. The treatment they receive from us is hardly unjust. They have deserved it all. It is the job of the Department of Justice to deal with them. No one has the right to act on his own, but each has the duty to support the state's measures against the liberals, to defend them with others, and to avoid being misled by any liberal tricks. The security of the state requires that of us all.
Rating: Summary: Why? Review: A Bush-Cheney campaign advertisement released March 3 claims the economy was in recession in January 2001 - the latest in a long pattern of attempts by the administration to backdate the beginning of the recession to before the beginning of Bush's term in office. The ad, which is titled "Safer, Stronger", begins with a graphic stating "January 2001, The Challenge:" followed by "An economy in recession." However, this claim is not generally accepted in the economic community. The National Bureau of Economic Research's Business Cycle Dating Committee - a standing body of top economists - is widely recognized as the quasi-official authority on the timing of recessions. A July 2003 Associated Press story, for example, called it "the committee that puts official dates on U.S. economic expansions and contractions. Contrary to the ad's claim, the NBER committee pegged the downturn as beginning in March 2001. After it issued this decision in November 2001, the administration initially endorsed the committee's role: Bush called it "the official announcement ... that our economy has been in recession since March," Council of Economic Advisors chairman Glenn Hubbard said NBER "made its official declaration that the United States was in recession" and the 2002 Economic Report of the President called NBER "the arbiter of U.S. business cycle dates". - [...] > No one - not even the biggest Bush basher, would blame the timing of the recession on Bush. Why do they continually try to push the date of the recession back to re-write history? This administration is creating an impression for themelves, that they are a group of pathelogical liars, and it's backfiring. They should quit it before they do further harm.
