Summary & Review:
Columnist and pundit Ann Coulter examines the uncanny pattern of Liberals choosing dictators, terrorists, and despots over American interests time and time again. From the days of their support of Stalin and the Soviet Union through their lack of support for the war of terrorism, liberals always support barbarism over civilization and freedom.
While I’ve never read one of Ann Coulter’s books before, I am pretty familiar with her positions through columns and television appearances. She often says things in a manner that are purposefully outrageous to garner attention, but if you understand that is her schtick it’s no problem. What I’ve always appreciated about Coulter is that she is no wimp on immigration and realizes what a danger unchecked illegal and massive legal immigration is to our country. While she didn’t touch on that here, I still thought the book was very interesting. The pattern she points out—that of liberals always essentially rooting against America and her traditional values, culture, and the historic American nation—is obvious once you see it.
Also, nearly the entire first half of the book was examining “McCarthyism.” This section was particularly interesting to me since in school and in the current culture you are taught that McCarthy was hunting phantom Commies and was a paranoid, hate-filled bully. As Coulter ask, but was McCarthy right? Were there Soviet spies in the government? The answer is a resounding “yes.” Hundreds of Soviet spies filled all levels of the Federal government up to the highest levels as proved by recently de-classified Soviet cables. Liberals often say something “smacks of McCarthyism” when they are accusing someone of being paranoid about a threat that isn’t there, or that they claim isn’t there. However, McCarthy had every right to be paranoid.
Rating: 7.5
