Summary: Liberals won't read this book, but...
Review: ...you'll sure see their reviews here. Typical ranting based on perception rather than fact.

(I have not yet read the book either, so, despite the required star rating, I have no opinion.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Liberals don't want you to read or buy this book
Review: The book has just been published, yet it's already being trashed by the ever so "tolerant" Liberals. They can't abide the First Amendment when the use of it proves their persecution of anyone who doesn't toe the PC line.
Be a true Radical --- tell the Liberal Media and Power Elites to "zip lip" for a change of pace.
Fellow Christians, I hope you, like me, will buy this book and start engaging the Liberal Enemy who seeks to destroy even any remnant of Christianity from this country.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Persecution Complex
Review: Baaaah.

Everybody's got an issue. Fundamental Christian, Fundamental Jew, Fundamental Liberal...all getting their little toes stepped on. They are all willing to step on each other, though. There is no monopoly on wisdom, nor is there a monopoly on persecution complexes. How about pagans, the only religious minority in this country that has actually been hung for its beliefs in a systematic way by government?

There are some fundamental truths in all the religions, that the religious zealots (including "liberals") forget in their quest for power. Religion is only politics, taking the Divine's name in vain.

Namaste'

Summary: are you kidding me?
Review: mr. limbaugh makes some interesting points in this book, but they're all unfortunately for nothing when one takes into account that the christian religion, or any relgion for that matter, does not and should not play a part in the way government is run. you want to pray in school - you have every right to. just do it quietly, to and to yourself. i'm sure you'll be able to get away with it. this book is a joke.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sounds like more blither to me.
Review: I keep hearing about rubbish like "school children are forbidden to pray before football games," or how awful it is that "nativity scenes are banned from municipal property."

First, it's not true that schoolchildren may not pray. Anyone can pray any time, and there's no way to detect it, let alone stop it. What may not happen, and rightly so, is for the State to endorse a particular kind of prayer, or prayer at all, by allowing it to be broadcast over the PA to people who may not share that prayer.

As for the idea of nativity scenes being forbidden, what's wrong with that? Until/unless you can give full and equal representation to every religion, you must give it to none, in the interests of simple fairness and justice.

I may borrow this book from the library, but you can bet I won't be buying it in any way that will get money into Mr. Limbaugh's hands.

Summary: Jesus was a Liberal.
Review: I know I may be reading a bit into it, but there always seems to be a slight anti-semetic undercurrent when conservatives use the term "Liberal". For you fundementalists, remember:

1. Jesus was a JEW, he was his whole life and was when he died.
2. Jesus was a Radical Liberal who fought for the rights of the prostitutes and losers.

Any man who does this today would be attacked by the right wing as Liberal, and by implication, anti-christian.

This idea of Liberalism somehow being the opposite of Christanity is insane - liberal ideas are far more Christian than the "It's MY money, I'm not helping YOU !" attitude of this new conservatism. These poeple screaming about their rights being attacked were the same people using the same arguments gainst the civil rights movement in the 60's.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally....
Review: David Limbaugh is one of the first to have written and given numerous examples of what I have been noticing for over two decades.

In a politically correct America, we are told to embrace diversity and the different cultural and religious beliefs that go along with it. Judaism is given special standing, and we as a society immediately condemn anti-Semites. Hindu and Buddhist beliefs are often positively referenced for their spiritual and symbolic nature. Even in the midst of looking for terrorists, we are reminded to respect, understand and be tolerant of the Muslim religion. But for all the courtesy that has been extended to all these other religions, no other religious belief in America is more openly ridiculed, bashed and treated with complete disrespect than Christianity, especially Roman Catholicism.

Progressive members of academia who shudder at the thought of criticizing a religion for it's faults will not hesitate to openly and maliciously impugn the reputation of Christianity or the people who practice its teachings. In the movies, the Pope and priests in general are portrayed as wicked, greedy and predatorial. The Church is viewed as dark, treacherous and secretive, completely devoid of any reference to Christ or his teachings. Actors, musical performers and entertainers in general have been notorious for giving the proverbial finger to the Church, and have done so on and off the camera or microphone.

Print out literature that is anti-Semitic or anti-[insert religion here], and start leaving it on cars or in mailboxes. The bottom line is one thing: You will either be arrested or will be shamed into reclusion for bigotry. But call Christians "Jesus Freaks" on national television and you can do so with the protection and blessing of free speech.

Regardless of what your political affiliation is, any open-minded and intellectually honest individual will appreciate Mr. Limbaugh's diligence in pointing out a disgraceful double-standard that must be corrected.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Enough is enough
Review: Simply stated, I am sooo sick and tired of hearing fundamentalist Christians claim they are being attacked from all sides that it has driven me out of the church. There needs to be a new devil every few months to keep the intellectually compromized one-book and one-book-only readers in line. Lumbaugh's book is just the latest in a long line of such diatribes.

Fundamental Christianity finds it very difficult to coexist with Democracy, freedom of choice, and the confirmed findings of natural science. This book only adds fuel to the fires of ignorance, self-doubt and perceived pursecution. It is not a necessary addition to the literary world.

Summary: Waste of Time
Review: I picked up Limbaugh's book with the intention of understanding the other side of the argument. Instead, I got the usual shrill, baseless arguments that emanate from the extreme right.

Limbaugh's book is replete with sweeping generalizations written to appeal to the right wing's lowest common denominator. Read the endnotes and you'll see sources that are either dependably right wing or - should Limbaugh actually quote a mainstream or left wing source - horribly misconstrued or just plain taken out of context.

I highly recommend this book for the mindless, right wing ditto-head who prefers to let republican fat cats do their thinking for them. It is a perfect example of right wing propaganda.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Most Liberals are also Christians
Review: The author of this books makes the lame assumption that a liberal cannot be a Christian. However, most liberals are also Christians who happen to be more tolerant of people who are "different." Conservatives, on the other hand, believe that everyone must accept their right-wing agenda. They are similar to the taliban in Afghanistan, except for the fact that they aren't murdering others who believe differently than them...yet...Wait they have started murdering Doctors who perform abortions and one of them was responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing as well. Therefore, I would say they are very similar to extremists in other countries. This book is just right-wing rambling about something that doesn't exist.
