The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left's Assault on Our Culture and Values

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding Book ! (Not a 'screed')
Review: This thoughtful book impressed me with the breadth and depth of its examination of some of the most important issues in our country today. The author is well qualified to write on these subjects since she has experienced the trauma & malignant narcissism which she writes about. Bruce spent many years in therapy so that she was able to take responsibility for her life and drop the victim attitude that traps so many on the Left,(and is a source of power for the Left elites who live off of 'victims'). Unfortunately, Bruce points out, - - these people project their demons out into society and we all pay a heavy price. - - - No this is not a 'screed', but a very interesting book. (Why must some merely ape the words of others? Does Publishers Weekly or other reviewers here ever mention a "left wing screed", they sure apply the term repeatedly to conservative books.)

Summary: AWESOME
Review: This woman has it together. If she wasn't a lesbian (what a waste) and I wasn't married, we'd damn sure be an item! The book is AWESOME and really hammers home the message that the LEFT is out to destroy America and turn it into Amerika.

Summary: On the Mark
Review: Truth is truth, regardless of the messenger. And Tammy Bruce is dead right about the state of American society. Although it is arguable whether everyone she targets as an evil narcissist is actually that, only a postmodernist would attempt to deny the cultural facts she presents and the implications of her related assertions. Most significantly, she blows the lid off the festering barrel of the radical gay agenda, exposing the bad apples that spread their rot throughout the system. And, in airing this decay, Bruce--as a lesbian--exhibits no sign of self-hatred or resentment of male homosexuals. She appears disingenuous only when she takes the right-winger's obligatory potshots at Bill and Hillary Clinton and aims the usual paeans at Ronald Reagan. Did she really cast her ballot for the latter? Who knows? But what the reader will certainly know, upon finishing this easily digested book, is that the poisonous situations she sights cannot be credibly denied.

Summary: A "screed" worth reading
Review: When I saw this is was endorsed by "Dr. Laura, Sean Hannity, and G. Gordon Liddy" I was hesistant, but she makes a strong case. This book was a great read and hard to put down. The author provides a unique perspective being a former NOW president, lesbian, pro-choice, pro-gun, and "voted for Reagan feminist." Shes gives a particularly compelling critique of the current direction of NOW, as well as the subtle ways in which children are sexualized. Although that I don't agree with everything in the book, she provides plenty of outrageous actions that for most are obviously wrong (e.g., two deaf lesbians deliberately trying to make their child born deaf, the refusal of some to say the 9/11 attacks were wrong, a violent criminal being ahead of oridinary citizens on a transplant list). However, the screeching tone of the book grew tiresome. She seems to suggest the book for conservatives, but I think it would be better for liberals to read this so that they may reconsider some of their ideas.

Summary: Remarkable--An Ayn Rand for Our Time
Review: Wow--I heard Tammy Bruce on Sean Hannity's radio show and clicked on Amazon to get the book and read what I now know to be one of the strangest Publisher's Weekly reviews I've ever seen. She seemed like such a reasonable person on radio, I couldn't imagine how her book could be as they described.
Well, it wasn't. The subject matter is difficult sometimes--especially Chapter 7 which deals with the sexualization of children in our society--but this is a book which *must* be read if you want to be educated about what is really going on in our culture. She breaks it down like she did in New Thought Police--and deals with the gay elite, feminist elite and black power elite. There are also chapters about schools and media. In short, everything you need to know to get a grip on what's happening. My favorite new phrase, btw, is her so perfect description of those in power in left wing special interest groups "malignant narcissists."
What was also unique was the personal perspectives and stories she shared. They really added to why she was able to be a feminist and gay activist for so long.
Her ending about Ronald Reagan (even though I didn't vote for him) actually made me cry. That's quite a feat for a political book!
Untimately, she does a great job explaining the question I always ask, which is *why* does the Left do what it does, even when it harms their own.
It is methodically written (not in the least "lurid" or "crude" as the PW review oddly accused), she is reasonable and provides footnotes for all of her information, many of which are from credible sources on the internet. I liked this because I was able to go and check myself some of the more shocking information.
I also like her take and what's happening with culture because I also consider myself a liberal person but quietly noted to myself that something was going wrong in our society. I don't think liberal means the world should be a free-for-all. This book helped me put my own concerns in perspective and helped me to realize that I wasn't alone in feeling that moral relativism was winning the day.
I'm not kidding when I say she's like Ayn Rand. She is my new favorite author. I recommend not only this book, but her first one, too.
