Book Reviews of If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Book Review: Biting, Sarcastic, and Highly Intelligent
Summary: 5 Stars
"If what I say is so outrageous, why don't they quote me accurately?"
- page 80 (Hardback edition)
Since she burst on the political commentary scene in 1996, Ann Coulter has been both adored and hated for her sarcastic conservative comments. With no attempt being made to hide her right-wing bias, she is unashamedly blunt about her views, often coating them in biting repartee. It seems that each time Coulter opens her mouth (or posts another column on her website), the mainstream media screams that she's "done it this time!" Yet her books are bestsellers, and she continues to be published. As she points out, if she's so over-the-top, why are people continuing to read her work?
In her sixth book, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans," Ann assembles a collection of her most famous quotes, columns, and interviews on subjects from airport security to taxes, and everything in between. Each chapter contains a brief commentary on the subject, followed by a collection of dated quotes illustrating her beliefs and opinions.
I must admit that, in the past, I have stayed away from political non-fiction. As a conservative Republican, I have found much of it to be in disagreement with my personal views on matters, and I like reading as a way to escape the seriousness of my everyday life. But as I thumbed through a copy of this book at Borders a week ago, I knew I had to read it. Coulter's wit and humor make the book a fast read, and her comments are intelligent enough to get you thinking while funny enough to make you laugh. And, while I can't say that I agree with her viewpoints on everything, I agree enough to have made this book worth my time.
If you are not a conservative, do not agree with Ann's points of view, or are a liberal Democrat, then you probably will not enjoy this book. If, however, you do enjoy reading an intelligent yet witty commentary on the current state of political affairs in the United States (with an admittedly right-wing voice), this book is for you.
Summary of If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
?Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as ?citing facts,? is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that?s when I feel truly alive.?So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They?d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter?s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.
Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that ?She?s gone too far!? and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.
Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They?d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you?ll read Coulter?s take on:
? Her politics: ?As far as I?m concerned, I?m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.?
? Hillary Clinton: ?Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.?
? The environment: ?God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ?Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It?s yours.??
? Religion: ?It?s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.?
? Global warming: ?The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it?s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it?s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!?
? Gun control: ?Mass murderers apparently can?t read, since they are constantly shooting up ?gun-free zones.??
? Bill Clinton: ?Bill Clinton?s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.?
? Illegal aliens: ?I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.?
If Democrats Had Any Brains, They?d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter.
