Summary: Yet another "war" for conservatives to "fight" and "win"
Review: Why is everything about war with the conservative right? Does this concern anyone? As 21st century humans, when will we realize we can't fight our way to solutions through perpetual warring? Has history really taught us nothing? This book is very disappointing. While there is some truth here, it requires a healthy dose of discernment to uncover. Albert Einstein was right when he said that a problem cannot be solved on its own level. Solutions require us to examine root causes and be honest about our country's domestic and foreign policy mistakes. Without this approach, we're just picking dandelions. The root stays and the problem springs up again later. Liberal left, conservative right...it doesn't matter. The truth is in the middle. God bless Planet Earth!

Summary: Nothing short of laughable.
Review: If I could make one recommendation to Mr. Hannity, I would suggest that he use a dictionary to look up the word "liberty". This man represents the exact polar opposite of true personal freedom and social progress. This book is little more than a poorly-composed right-wing wash of exaggerations sustained by a terminally stupid post 9-11 mentality that the current administration can do no wrong. As is often the case with books such as these, we are presented with what plenty of complaints about what the author sees as "wrong" (i.e. anything unrelated to conservatism), but we are offered no well-reasoned contrary arguments or possible solutions to the meaningless partisan quarrels that have kept America mired in the dark ages of modern politics for decades. Hannity released this book to capitalize on current popular opinions; no more, no less. I only recommend this book if you enjoy having your intelligence insulted.

Summary: Let Character Leadership Education Ring
Review: Hi! I just wanted to say, though a little biased himself, Sean Hannity seems to be honest, and seems to be trying to tell it like it is. He's much like Michael Moore, but on the opposite side of the same coin, and not as funny, or outrageous. This is a book that everyone who has read Michael Moore's, "Stupid White Men", should read. And, maybe it's just my small "i" independent thinking, but I really do think both sides ought to get their values back into perspective -- re-institute the standard -- by reading Norman Thomas Remick's metaphore of what it means to be an American, "West Point: Character Leadership Education, A Book Developed From The Readings And Writings Of Thomas Jefferson". Thank you.

Summary: Simpletons lap up this [stuff]
Review: There is something truly Orwellian about this moronic rant of a book--it should be subtitled Peace through War. Hannity is nothing more than a loudmouth opportunist trying to cash in on the buying power of the Limbaugh Lemmings. While Bush diminishes our civil liberties, Hannity attacks "unpatriotic Liberals" who dare to disagree with this illegitimate chimp of a president. Guess what Chickenhawk Sean, a lot of liberals have died for this nation's freedom, to protect the very liberties you profess to believe in. You and your ilk weaken this great nation.

Summary: Republicans/Democrats are AMERICANS first!
Review: It's nice to read that "liberals are not necessarily bad people". Wow, that will win over sceptics from the "wrong side of Congress". What big surprises are readers expecting to hear about, coming from clearly partisan commentators and politicians? Will they ever admit to their own wrongs, or just keep going with the "attack first" policies of their idealism? I share at least one of Sean Hannity's views (in reverse). Concervatives are not necessarily bad people, they're just not good for America. We have seen and felt the proof with 4 of the past 5 Republican administrations. I find only do-nothing President Ford faultless in the otherwise extremely unethical and uncaring Republican President's known, hidden and denied dealings. Anyone still denying that Clinton did more for the American people than ANY president since Roosevelt needs a reality check! I vote for the best candidate. I've voted for Republicans and Democrats alike. I want someone who works for the people, not someone who represents a political party. Somehow I end up voting for more Democrats. Why? Because they have more canditates who seem genuinely concerned in the welfare and harmony of the American people. Being educated and artuculate adds to a candidate's attractiveness. Money and a "wise ol' daddy" matter far less. It's also high time to take "morals" down a few notches from the list of important things, and ethics up a few! Anyone from influential polititians to the common man/woman on the street is to be judged by MORE than simply what political party they affiliate themselves with. A DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN is an AMERICAN first. There are good ones and there are bad ones - they certainly are NOT divided into the 2 sub-groups by virtue of their political persuasion.

Summary: Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Review:
Sean Hannity has lighted his candle with this book. Many of us have hungered for a book like this for a long time--a reasonable voice that explains our conservatism
in plain language that anyone can understand, and that exposes the fallacies inherent in the liberal political view.
Hannity points out that American liberals are not evil or anti-American, only misled and mistaken in their goals and policies. His book is endorsed, on the back cover, by such conservative stalwarts as William J. Bennett, Rush Limbaugh, Dr.James C.Dobson and Newt Gingrich. The book
is also endorsed by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who says of it: "LET FREEDOM RING is a cogent plea for the moral clarity and courage needed to defeat the militant terrorism that imperils our civilization. Hannity minces no
words, and is at once provocative and thought provoking. He should be read by supporters and opponents alike, and those interested in the debate over the future direction of free societies." Quite an endorsement, coming from a political head of another sovereign nation. Mr. Netanyahu understands both the common enemy and the stakes involved,
having spent his adult life fighting them. A few short months ago, before the holocaust of last September, some of the harsh things about liberalism that Hannity says might have seemed like reckless
exaggeration; however, since that date Americans have awakened to the reality that the greatest threat against us, and our greatest enemy is not, as Albert Gore
stated in his book, Earth in the Balance, the "growing concentration of carbon dioxide now circling the earth." Nor is it American families and workers exercising
their freedom by driving their automobiles, trucks and SUVs. Rather, as September 11th, 2001, has shown us, there are more immediate concerns than the fate of
the Spotted Owl. According to Hannity, protecting our air, land, and water from pollution is certainly important, but protecting our homeland from crazed, rabid, suicidal terrorists who
hate us not for anything we've done but simply for what we are, and who clap their hands and dance with joy at the news that they've killed 3,000 innocent men,
women and children simply because they are Americans, is of more immediate importance. It is hard to argue with that sentiment. In this book, Hannity goes to great length to explain the deficiencies and incongruities of the liberal philosophy, and looks at some of the great mistakes made by the
last liberal administration--such as refusing an offer by Sudan to turn over Osama bin Laden in 1996, not once but several
times. This is a truly important book. For conservatives, it is "preaching to the choir" although it will be informative, and to those of the liberal persuasion it will be anathema,
and if they deign to give it any notice, it will likely be a vindictive rant. But, if there is anyone left with an open mind it should be of interest. As for me, I am frankly part of the choir. Joseph Pierre

Summary: One (darn) good book!
Review: This was a case of a left-handed right-winger reading a good book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone who thinks that the book contains too much "parochialism" needs their head examined. When I was finished, I had a fire lit under my ... to learn more about why it is that I am a conservative republican, and what I believe, politically, and why. (Especially when most of my friends are liberal democrats.) From 9.11.01 to Abortion to "the Economy, stupid," Hannity really opened my eyes about a lot of things. Thanks to him, I am considering getting into politics as an active participant, and I don't mean as a pundit, either. (And I really AM left-handed.)

Summary: Sensationalistic banter
Review: I won't argue with the facts that Sean Hannity presents, but I disagree with his exaggerations and sensationalism when it comes to delivering his message. This guy just walks the extreme right tight rope and refuses to listen to the other side of anything.

Summary: An insightful book that is to be read, studied, and pondered
Review: If Sean Hannity is not the new King of All Media, he is certainly the Crown Prince of it. Hannity has the number one radio show nationally for the 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. time slot; he has the number one cable news-rated show for the 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. time slot, wherein he plays Buffalo Bob Smith to his co-host's Howdy Doody; and now, with LET FREEDOM RING, he has the opportunity to expound on the matters that give sum and substance to his radio and television programs.
Hannity's first radio show was broadcast live from WABC in New York City on September 10, 2001. He had plenty to talk about that day. As he relates it, the first show dealt with topics such as cutting taxes, education reform, strengthening the military, and defending Judeo-Christian values. Little did he dream how horribly momentous the following day would be. The attack on America on September 11, 2001 was the ultimate impetus behind LET FREEDOM RING. While Hannity discusses taxes, education, the military, and values at length in LET FREEDOM RING, he also reviews the Congressional policies and errors of the late 1970s and early 1980s that resulted in the emasculation of United States intelligence forces, a process that reached its zenith as the result of the executive policies and omissions of the 1990s --- and which directly and proximately resulted in the effectiveness of the attack on the United States in 2001. Hannity also takes a well-aimed swing at illegal immigration. Hannity notes that his grandparents were legal immigrants who followed the rules and procedures necessary to come to this country and to become a part of it, and that thousands of people continue to do so. For their benefit, as well as for the benefit of those who have come before, the laws that permit entrance to this country must be enforced, and not sacrificed on the altar of political expedience. If there is one common thread that runs throughout LET FREEDOM RING, it is that the right of self-defense, whether for an individual or for a nation, is a paramount right; if one cannot defend their person or their home, or a nation its borders, then their life, home, and nation will be lost. Hannity's message is not lost in his writing style; rather, his way with words enhances his argument. LET FREEDOM RING reads less like a treatise and more like a transcript of a conversation. It does not contain any new revelations for those who have been paying attention to the errors of commission and omission that were so underreported during the 1990s. LET FREEDOM RING may be ignored by the very audience that needs it the most, but for the choir to which Hannity preaches, his ability to clearly and concisely make his arguments will shine like a beacon. Hannity has recently been urged to make a run for political office; while his inclination toward that particular arena is not known at this point, it is rapidly becoming self-evident that his intelligence, articulate style, and physical and emotional charisma will enable him to be successful at any task he might choose to undertake. Hannity is a man to watch, and LET FREEDOM RING is a book to be read, studied, and pondered. --- Reviewed by Joe Hartlaub

Summary: Great!
Review: I am very impressed with the easy read. I try to get the more conservative views out of books, television and radio since the media continues to provide only one side (left). I find Hannity's view coincides with the majority of America who may be muffled under a liberal hand. I highly recommend this book to all those who want to hear how America is great. God Bless America and God Bless Sean Hannity!
