Summary: Finally
Review: Finally someone has written the facts about those evil liberals. First off I'm a 17-year-old male who is a compassionate conservative who idolizes President George W. Bush, so when I first heard that Sean was writing his own book I was pumped, I was like finally we will find out the truth behind liberals attempts to dismantle the CIA. Who in their right mind would want to get rid of an agency that protects the country? And liberals want to know why we couldn't see September 11th coming, they were to busy trying to get rid of the CIA. This is a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth about liberals and what there really up to, Like how Clinton-Gore refused to have Bin Laden handed over to them on a silver platter.

Summary: Nothing New To Offer
Review: Much of what is written in this book has been written before in other (and better) books by Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Dinesh D'Suasa, William Bennett, the list goes on. Since this basically a re-hash of more astute commentators, it's just not very interesting.

Summary: Thank you, Sean!
Review: Sean Hannity is wonderful as a true figurehead of the conservative movement. Not only is he honest, intelligent, articulate, and controversially straightforward, but he is also, like most of us, kind, caring, and truly concerned about the future of this nation and its citizens. Although this book will not provide in-depth research details about specific issues, Hannity repeatedly exposes the left with real facts and real arguments. A sort of "Conservatism 101" for those of us who are a little behind on some issues or at least interested in learning what us liberty-lovers really think, "Let Freedom Ring" is a great book for anyone with an open mind.

Summary: This book stinks
Review: The Sean Hannity/Ann Coulter sophomoric rant of "Conservatives good, liberals bad" is getting so old and boring. Most people are in the MIDDLE, when will the far right-wingers & far left-wingers understand that?Regarding Tom Cruise's stupid comments about this country, Sean said on his radio show, "...just like a cancer must be removed from a body to keep it healthy, Tom Cruise should be removed from America to keep us pure." Does a comment like this represent someone who cherishes liberty? No. I thought Cruise's comments were dumb also, but whatever happened to freedom of speech? As for this book, there's nothing new here. Sean fails to mention that the declining defense/intelligence budgets began with Bush Sr., not with Clinton (who he blames for everything). But, then again, Sean is an apologist for almost all Republicans, especially George W. Sean talks about a "war of ideas" in which "civilization is at stake." He seems to believe that all liberal ideology has the potential to destroy civilization! Sean, is it not okay for people to question the president and his war on terrorism? Many people in this country are afraid to criticize President Bush's war policies for fear of being labeled "unpatriotic." Who was it that said, in effect, "In a democracy, descent during wartime is not only acceptable, it's necessary"? Right on.

Summary: Great read for Conservatives and Fence-sitters
Review: As a loyal fan of Sean's nationally syndicated talk show, i grabbed this book its first day out. Sean elaborates on points he's made both on the radio and on Hannity and Combs on Fox News, with a humor and wit that makes this a quick read. Be horrified at how close the U.S. was to grabbing Bin Laden during the Clinton administration! Sit, mouth agape while you read of liberal's anti-military, anti-intelligence bias. Then watch them try and backtrack! Sean is the new voice of conservative America. The inteligence, and guts of Limbaugh, without the pompousness. But if I hear Sean say "silver platter" again, either in print or live, i'll kill myself.

Summary: even when he's wrong he thinks he's right
Review: The title of my review is in the promo of his radio show and does aptly describe him. I have listened to Hannity on WABC on my drive home from work each day but only for 1 hour. I have only been partially Hannitized. I have also on occasion watched parts of the Hannity and Colmes show on the Fox News network. Any regular listener of his show would know what to expect in this book. It is a clear and uninterrupted account of his views. The book presents his views on politics, abortion, the war on terrorism, American education, etc. The theme is the danger he sees in members of the liberal left wing of the Democratic Party. He has his facts right and present his case well. I am a middle of the road Democrat, so there is a "but" coming in my comments. On some issues his interpretation is dead wrong and I think that his tactics somewhat like those of Ann Coulter paint an exaggerated picture of evil and danger on the left just as they rightfully complain about the dangerous and evil picture the Democrats effectively portray of conservatives. First, I agree with him about the moral decay in the country, I agree that our primary and secondary school education needs an overhaul and I agree that some Democrats like Tom Daschle hold extreme views and could be dangerous if they ascend to the Presidency. I disagree with him on his admiration of Reagan and North and his deamonizing of Hilliary Clinton. Hilliary and Bill Clinton do come across as phonies but their politics is not dangerous to America. To make my point, Hannity believes that it was Reagan's efforts to build up the Defense Department that led to the end of the cold war. He also thinks that the Democrats that supported unilateral arms reduction put the nation at risk. I see it differently. During the Reagan years I was working for the US Air Force Space Defense program. Everyone knowledgeable on "Star Wars" knew that a missile defense system was dangerous because it would be extremely expensive, impossible to thoroughly test, and probably would not work. Also even to do research in the area was destabilizing because if the Soviets felt they couldn't match us they might strike first fearing that we might do the same when our system was in place. The nuclear missile build-up was insane. Each side had more than enough arms to destroy the other 10 times over! So SALT and other arms limitation and negotiations provided hope to break the insane cycle of build-up and bring about trust. The threat of an accidental launch that would spiral into a devastating nuclear war was real. The Democrats in proposing unilateral reductions were looking for a way to calm the Soviets fear of us and gain trust that would lead to bilateral disarmament (of course never would we completely eliminate our arsenal). It was not a sign of weakness. Being Macho all the time can cause problems. Reagan happened to be in the right place at the right time. The Russians spent themselves into bankruptcy trying to keep pace with our missile defense development. Gorbachev came along and was receptive to the peace process. This I think would have happened with a Democrat or a Republican in the White House. This is a highly entertaining and well researched book. Read it. I think you can trust that Hannity has his facts right. But don't always be taken in by his rhetoric. I think his views do follow those of mainstream America. I agree with him on many issues but do not follow him blindly as many of his regular callers do. I give him 4 stars for hard work, thought and persuasiveness. He also is kind to Democrats. He even has an extreme leftwinger, Flipper as his call screener. I take one star away because "even when he's wrong he's sure that he is right".

Summary: Right or wrong??? Hannity is 99% right!
Review: Finally, it is nice to read a book that is about LIBERTY, FREEDOM, and CHOICES. Sean Hannity may say he is a conservative, but deep down he is showing you the difference between right and wrong. Throughout his book, he points out what is right and what is wrong, and explains it. He is for the people and it clearly shows throughout the book. He explains that liberty should be protected, not attacked. He explains how liberals attack liberty, because they attack choices that every American makes. Restricting choices is restricitng freedom. Hannity shows how Republicans are pro-choice. We are a free nation, because we have the ability to choose. Let's not lose from freedom today, so I, along with Sean Hannity, ask everyone to protect our freedoms today.

Summary: Sean Hannity delivers the final punch
Review: Excellent read. Hannity delivers the most compelling reasons why liberals and the Democratic party should be barred from having any influence on our governments and our culture.
As for his views on the government, one ends the book realizing that, without the impediments forced by the federal government on business and future development, we would be a far freer nation if conservative local governments were to lead the nation in this new century.

Summary: Well written, opinionated, and fun.
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was well written, well laid out, and fun to read. The topics were very timely, and important to issues facing us right now. Sean backs up his opinions with data, though I would have liked to have seen more data and statistics. Skeptics and people who don't agree with his opinions would point that out as the shortcoming of this book, though fans of Mr. Hannity would not. The topics of this book are freedom, choice, and a Laissez Faire attitude to government, economics, and life choices. Sean supports a strong defense against the dangers facing us in the world today. This is a very good book to read to get a modern conservative viewpoint on the world today. Mr. Hannity is the foremost voice of conservative values today: A great read.
Rating: 
Summary: Could have been better...
Review: Although I feel Hannity is on the right side of most arguements (no pun intended) I felt the book came off as being somewhat light-weight. It brings up a lot of great points, but others have written better books about them.
