Summary: Not So WASPy
Review: Reply to previous review. William F. Buckley, Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, and Jeb Bush are all Catholics, several of them of Celtic, not Anglo-Saxon, descent. They are, however, white.

Summary: Well, At Least The Author Is Honest!
Review: This is a not bad book. The author (or National Review fame, mind you) praises the values of the most politically incorrect of creatures, the cause of all (or almost) the world's problems: The Great American W.A.S.P.!White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. You know, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, William F. Buckley, Pat Buchanan, George Will, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ronald Reagan, Jeb Bush, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Peggy Noonan, Pat Robertson, Barbara Simpson, Rich Lowry. And on and on and on! These are the type of folks praised in this book. Or rather, the Founding Fathers who would agree with their politics. If nothing else, it's certainly a refreshing viewpoint. Granted, some of these folks political opinions are rather shrill and have the stench of a mildly fascistic Christian theocracy, which is deep down what many of these folks on the far right want for America. Even so, if I have to take their America over the "one Nation under jihad, with liberty and justice for Allah" that the Islamofascists and a few of the U.N. types want...well, I'll take the folks the author praises in this humble tome. It's decent read. Not the end all of politcal literary achievements though. I give it a A for effort.
