Summary: Same ol' Same ol'
Review: This book is nothing but the same tired old claptrap we've heard a million times only now we get to feel the pain of this dangerous nonsense imposed on us and our country. His chapter on abortion, titled tongue-in-cheek "I'm Pro-Choice" uses "liberal's" words against them and which just goes to demonstrate there isn't a bucket's worth of warm spit between the Republicrats. I will not argue that a fetus is not a potential person, it will not develop into a cow or a lamp, but the autonomy of my body trumps the rights of a parasite to use my body at all times. If my 15 year old son was dying of kidney disease and I was a perfect match and he had a 99.9% chance of living a full and healthy life with a kidney transplant no one and no court could order the violation of my body and the seizure of my kidney for my son'e benefit. The only way he would get my kidney is with my consent, a gift I may choose to give (if ever neccessary) out of love. The same argument applies to a fetus. It has no right to the use of my body without my express consent and consent to sexual intercourse (not even taking in the possibility of rape) does not extend. It is only through my consent, choosing because of love, that a fetus has the right to occupy my body. Of course this demonstrates the conservatives tendancy to only consider those whose last name is Inc. to be full citizens while the rest of of are chattel to the elite.

Summary: Direct to the point and the truth!
Review: After listening to Mr. Hannity on the radio for over a year, Hannity brings a fresh, enlightening look and analysis of the liberal left and how they are trying to destroy our freedom by trying to convert our way of life to the left and socailistic ways that have failed on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Hannity's view of ethical and moral virtue is a foundation for all young adults to read and learn from. This book should be part of Political Science classes from sea to shining Sea!

Summary: Conservative Propaganda
Review: This book is contributing to making America a Rush Limbaugh Regime.
Let Freedom Ring is mindless applauding of the despicable Bush administration and even more attempts to blame everything that is wrong and bad on Demo-publicans like Bill Clinton and Tom Daschle.
I find it amazing that no one realizes the similarities between how Bush used the destruction of the WTC to limit freedoms and civil rights and launch unprovoked attacks on other countries and how Hitler used the destruction of the Reichstag building to do the same. It's downright shameful.
Unless you are rich or evil, there is no way you can benefit from conservative policy. Also, there should be no way any humanist with half a brain would die or even stand by such policies and ideals. My god, pick up something by Michael Moore or Noam Chomsky. Read "Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace" by Gore Vidal.

Summary: Hannity Gets It
Review: Sean Hannity is one of those talking heads that actually gets it and it shows in this book. Regarding his support for drilling in ANWR: If there was only 6 to 14 months of oil reserves there, why would oil companies be willing to commit the substantial (i.e. hundreds of millions of dollars) capital and resources necessary to bring that oil out of the ground. If there was not a significant amount of recoverable oil & gas in place, no one would want to drill there.

Summary: Articulate, Intelligent, and TRUE!
Review: An awesome book by one of America's true Patriots. Hannity lays out the case against Liberalism in a succinct and intelligent way. This book should be required reading for every government school student (and teacher!).Whether it be the hypocrisy of the left in the political debate, or their stubborn rejection of the values most of America holds dear, Hannity exposes the danger that this type of thinking is to true liberty. Hannity discusses such topics as the abortion debate (did you know Richard Gephardt, Jessie Jackson, and Al Gore were all "pro-life," until it became politically expedient to flip-flop), school vouchers (did you know 60% of black Americans support vouchers, which have been a HUGE educational success, much to the chagrin of the leftist NEA), and tax reform (did you know the Reagan tax cuts almost DOUBLED federal revenue by spurring the economy). In each of these topics, and more, Hannity exposes the lies of the left, and points us in the direction of liberty, prosperity, and freedom. Probably not what the liberals want to hear--that's why this book is being attacked so vociferously. However, Hannity is a light in darkness, that all of America should heed. Buy this book for any of your liberal friends--I doubt any will have any SOUND arguments against him.

Summary: Unmitigated Junk
Review: Conservatives tend to ride cliches like the cowboy rides his horse. Ameica is great. Liberals are bad. Media is liberal. Reagan was great. Clinton was evil. Conservatives think like a pack and that's why liberals don't have an "Eleventh Commandment" (Never criticize another Republican). So what we have here is a book that reads like it was dictated by its author during the commercial breaks of his radio program. The all-American boy who has never seriously studied history or the social sciences ignores both history and the social sciences in proclaiming that Reagan was among our greatest presidents and liberals are working to destroy everything we have worked so hard for. Yet any honest history of the Reagan administration will tell horrible tales of his policies in Central America and around the world and his reactionary social policies at home. Hannity is a guy who claims that liberals have hijacked the media and mislead the American people. Yet, Hannity allows Oliver North, a liar and document shredder, to provide commentary on his TV program. Conservatives love authoritarian institutions, like the military, corprate america and the imperial presidency. Conservatives say nothing about the decaying environment, the widening gap between rich and poor, racism, conservative activist judges (yes, they do exist), 40 million without healthcare and the crimes of their own political heroes. Don't waste your money on this garbage. Hannity is a smooth and persuasive talker, just like his idol, Rush Limbaugh, a bloward who makes things up as he goes along. Don't be swept up in this talk radio dreck. The issues are far more complicated than a five minute sound bite that gets interrupted by more radio ads for SUV's and low-interest bank loans. For once, think outside the box and spend your money on the other side of the story. I recommend A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Yes, he's a lefty. But Zinn admits he's a lefty and that he is biased, as we all are.

Summary: Demagogues Strike Again!
Review: So, essentially, this book's argument is that 9/11 was really the fault of liberals. How convenient. :) The basic problem I have as a libertarian with conservatives like Hannity is that they are as much anti-liberty as so-called liberals are. They sponsor socialism when it comes to issues of morality and also economic exchanges they happen to disfavor. What they want isn't really liberty - they want a world where people are free to do what they want them to do. Because they've wrapped themselves in words like liberty, they've hollowed out the term to meet their ideology. Its rather sad that this has come to pass, but so be it. Anyway, Hannity isn't committed to "freedom" so much as he is committed to his rather simple answers that the world throws at him. Which of course makes hima good right-wing poster boy for the folks at Fox News, but it doesn't make him an advocate of freedom. Flame On! :)

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This is a great book for ALL Americans to read. Not just people who hold the same opinions and out looks. Sean Hannity shows the truth about what happens in politics and shows what happens when the people find out. He is about telling the American people the truth and the straight facts. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. You will only learn something that you didn't know before!!

Summary: Mean-spirited drivel
Review: Small of mind and crippled in spirit, the only war Hannity really wants to fight is against human decency. If you find yourself in agreement with him, can I have your car after the Rapture?

Summary: This guy is not as honest as he promotes.
Review: Hannity's broad political knowledge is impressive but there was one topic that I know as much as him and it was disappointing to see his doctoring of the facts to fit his agenda. My political view of the topic is neutral and my knowledge is from career and educational pursuits. 1. He bashed environmentalists on their stance of the Artic National Wildilfe Refuge. They are against oil exploration of these lands and he ridiculed them for differing from the Alaskan democratic governor's pro stance. What he doesn't tell his readers is that the Alaskan's political view point is more of an economic issue than an environmental issue. The state receives a substantial amount from the taxation of the oil flowing through Trans-Alaskan pipeline. Prudhoe Bay oilfields are tapping out and the pipeline is flowing half full.
2. He stated that the oil in ANWR may be enough to replace 30 years of Saudi oil imports. For months on his radio show he said the same, meanwhile Rush Limbaugh was playing tag team by telling his listeners that Saudi oil made up the "Lion Share" of our consumption. The conclusion of the two is that ANWR's oil is almost equal to 30 years of U.S.A. consumption. One day Limbaugh told his audience that he just found out he was wrong and that Saudi oil comprised only 8% of our oil usuage. (Yea, I believe he just found out.) The damage was done.
3. He stated that the USGS says there may be up to 16 billion barrels in ANWR. What he doesn't tell is the 16 billion is the high side of a very broad range of what the USGS believes is there. And he didn't tell that the USGS gave another range of 4.3 to 11.8 billion barrels for what's "technically recoverable".
His 30 years of Saudi oil is based on the 16 billion. It's deceitful of him to base his argument on numbers that far exceed what's "technically recoverable".
4. He made fun of Senator's Daschle's claim of only 6 months of oil in ANWR. He called him "unencumbered" with the facts. Hannity didn't revel that Daschle's prediction comes from an earlier USGS study and that it was based on the 50th precentile technically recoverable numbers. The updated USGS study, that Hannity quotes, has a 50th percentile prediction that would equal to 14 months. Daschle was wrong to use an outdated study but his 6 months prediction was closer to the updated 14 months than Hannity's spin of 30 years.
5. He says the oil would make us "far less dependent" of imported oil. He didn't tell that the pipeline at half capacity supplies about 4% of our needs and that at full capacity it would supply about 8% of our needs. ANWR would bring the pipeline's flow to full capacity and reduce our imported oil from 60% of our usuage down to 56%. This doesn't exactly make us "far less dependent". The facts destroy his exaggerations. Many politicians and critics spin but this guy never stops telling everyone how honest he is. That's my problem with him. The rest of his book may be accurate but this topic wasn't close so I accept the rest of his book with a grain of salt. I don't drink his cool-aid.
