Book Reviews of Godless: The Church of Liberalism
Book Review: Buy the Book or CD, (and don't "buy into" the cherry-picked quotes choosen the media)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've purchased and listened to the books on CD version of "Godless" where one can enjoy Ann Coulter's sarcasm even better than in the written versions of her material ("read by the author").
The problem in reading or hearing about Coulter's books is that one always gets the dramatic sound bites and is left with the impression that she's merely rambling personal views with witty skill. Watch or read any of the Mainstream Media venues and you'll be under the impression that the book is "about" 9/11 or "the 9/11 girls" specifically.
The wit and passion of Coulter's books -- this one in particular -- is mere icing on the cake. Coulter's latest book is full of substantive content. Her controversial embellishments are insignificant compared to the power of her argument and the information she uses to back it.
The message of "Godless..." is that The Left is corrupt -- morally -- to the core. They've lied, cheated, deceived, and swindled America's citizens since the first self-righteous socialist busy-body opened their mouth, and yet they still sell themselves as fonts of morality. A noteworthy issue raised in the book, that one dare not challenge these fonts of self-righteous goodness, is a valid one that the media has twisted into a mere, "mean-spirited attack on 9/11 widows." One has no idea how deep and broad the cons of leftland are until you read Ann Coulter's books.
If you're "liberal" (I prefer the more accurate term, leftist) you'll despise this book more than any of Coulter's previous inquiries into the phony, decadent, and elitist world of leftland.
I'm personally no fan of religious commentary (I consider myself an agnostic). Quoting scripture doesn't impress me either, but Coulter is still very much dealing with the world of politics in this current book, cultural politics specifically. In "Godless...," Coulter is better than ever in firing off facts, anecdotes, and observations that will surely anger more than a few Jacobins - religious or otherwise.
I have to admit, I'm personally not passionate regarding the abortion issue, evolution, gay marriage, or some of the issues she addresses, but the spineless, pampered, and arrogant clowns of leftland who have sought to impose their worldview regarding such issues, are certainly shown to be less than noble souls in the battle for elevating the human condition. It's not so much that their view is right or wrong but that no one dare hold an opposing view to leftist orthodoxy without thought police or media manipulators twisting the opponent's stance into an affront to their supposed moral -- and pseudo-religious -- clarity of insight.
This book is about much more than religion or the religious passions of secular political partisans. There's plenty of factual dirt to be informed about regarding the whole leftist process of domination and coercion. As a former public school teacher, I particularly liked her concise and factual (lots of stats) appraisal of America's socialist stockades of "education" and Ed Land's useless -- and very costly -- policy dictations.
Coulter's view of Leftism as a religion is not new of course. Eric Hoffer (The True Believer) touched on this also in his noted book.
I viewed Leftism as a religious stance from quite awhile back. My views were reinforced when studying the philosophy and early history of the German Nazi Party (nationalism aside, it was a full blown socialist sect by any honest appraisal). One can not listen to or argue points with anyone, from an environmento-hippie to a graying pony-tailed and wire rimmed Chomskyite, without noting a fervent religious obsession to their view that you too can be saved if you "open your mind up" and follow their commands for more taxes, rules, laws, and regulations over those simpletons who dare hold more traditional views on life and metaphysics.
In "Godless..." Coulter is her usual font of sarcasm and point blank humor. This will enrage many but suites me just fine. Anyone who reads this book (or listens to the CD version as I have done) and votes for a Democrat afterward is either knee deep in the delusions that trust fund allowances afford or clueless about the state of decay being fostered upon decent people who merely want to do things like raise families without the state, media, academia, and "entertainment" imposing the "virtues" of authoritarian-eco-femi-socialism.
Coulter's new book is not a "hate-filled far right wing" opinion piece "that should be banned." It's a fact filled, organized, and well-written description of modern day "liberalism." The wit and sarcasm merely advance the book's points and add to the pleasure of reading it. Don't be fooled by the cherry-picked quotes being thrown about in the media and amongst talking heads. This lady knows her stuff and backs it well.
Read this book! ...And, oh yeah, realize that the one-star leftist rage-reviews found so often at this site reflect the same mentality that has maintained a vice grip on our universities, schools, and "entertainment" in recent decades. They're more reflections of the general Stalinist attitude of leftland than any genuine commentary regarding a book's content or quality. 'Odd that those who so often talk of free speech and whine of "being silenced" are so adamant about removing the libertarian or conservative view from public discourse.
Coulter's book is now a number one best seller, and the left helped it happen with all their misrepresentations of the book in public media. Now a good portion of Middle America will be reminded that Teddy Kennedy left a woman to drown, Bill Clinton credibly raped a woman, and the public education system has nothing to do with educating children. In addition to such reminders, there are a lot of new things people are not aware of regarding the horrid state of affairs nurtured by the usual crowd from the "Church of Liberalism."
Summary of Godless: The Church of Liberalism
"If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law.Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive book yet, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion?a godless one.
And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county.
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).
Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.
Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is?Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom?
Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion.
Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today's most lively and impassioned conservative voices.
"Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'" ?From Godless
