With three straight #1 bestsellers and more than 4 million copies of his books in print, the most powerful traditional force in the American media now takes off his gloves in the ongoing struggle for America?s heart and soul.

Bill O?Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior?and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a ?secular-progressive? country. This is a conflict that differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even higher.
In Culture Warrior, Bill O?Reilly defines this war and analyzes the competing philosophies of the traditionalist and secular-progressive camps. He examines why the nation?s motto ?E Pluribus Unum? (?From Many, One?) might change to ?What About Me??; dissects the forces driving the secular-progressive agenda in the media and behind the scenes, including George Soros, George Lakoff, and the ACLU; and dives into matters of race, education, and the war on terror. He also shows how the culture war has played out in such high-profile instances as The Passion of the Christ, Fahrenheit 9/11, the abuse epidemic (child and otherwise), and the embattled place of religion in public life?with special emphasis on the war against Christmas. Whatever controversies are roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them?and no one will be in the dark about which side he?s on.
Culture Warrior showcases Bill O?Reilly at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long.

Irreverend !

Bill O'Reilly is known for his positions on a plethora of societal issues. The book describes the continuous battle for the hearts and minds of children. "Control the children and you control the future." O'Reilley Tzu I guess this is a reference to a Chinese philosopher.

The author describes scenarios; wherein, parents have accurately documented critical incidents in order to set up constructive confrontations on key issues. The continuous contention between the Courts and the ACLU is described in story after story. In one case, the State of Florida experimented with the notion of assisting the poor with school vouchers for private school settings. The book describes how the Florida Supreme Court ruled against directing fees to private schools.

Private schools are an important ingredient in the fabric of American education. Take away the private schools and the public school budgets would be stressed to the breaking point. Virtually, every inner city mayor understands this inescapable concept.

The author discusses a very thorny point in traditionalism versus non-traditionalist notions and the underground culture. For instance, Dr. King was a traditionalist by the author. Oprah Winfrey weighs in as a traditionalist after having banned street rappers from her program. In essence, too few Afro-Americans wave the traditionalist banner. The book concludes that our country needs strong African-American leaders who understand the Judeo-Christian traditions, discipline and personal accountability. I would add to this institutional accountability !

Currently, conservative Christians are engaged in the struggle to recapture the American culture. The author believes that atheists and agnostics should join the struggle because our interests converge in the all-important area of American values and value systems/processes. Besides, the traditional American roots are worthy of preservation to a considerable extent.

Rational Opinions Count

Bill has done in this book what most people are too scared to do. He has opened the eyes of many, but I'm afraid the politically correct crowd will be offended. In typical O'Reilly fashion, he has been straightforward in his assessment of society. All that is right and all that (or who) causes the wrongs in the direction this country is going in are discussed. I think since he is such a polarizing figure, many people will not even be open-minded enough to read this for the true intent. One of the things I admire Bill for is that no matter what the topic there are facts that will back up his assertions. Jim Fargiano, author of The Spoken Words of Spirit: Lessons From The Other Side

Eye opening read

This book exposes the massive liberal media bias that exist in America. Despite great patriots like O'Reilly and other Fox news contributors the majority of the media continues to be pinheads. If you dont believe me just listen to MSNBC commentary then switch over to Fox News, it is even happening as I write this review.


Most hated figure in media?

O'Reilly is a great writer. Entertaining. But something about this one makes him come off real bitter. It's understandable, the guy is the most hated figure in media, but I think he is above some of the jabs he takes here. Talks alot about his enemies but nothing about his allies, maybe because he has none. Either way its a must read for O'Reilly fans and everyone else that is fed up with the mainstream media....
