Is the debate about marriage over after the Supreme Court’s June decision to redefine marriage in all fifty states? That’s what some Amazon.com reviewers are insisting after a new book was released last week.
The book, “Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom,” is a roadmap from Ryan Anderson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, on how the conservative movement can move forward in promoting marriage and protecting religious freedom after the Supreme Court’s ruling.
“I wrote this book for all Americans. For those who disagree with me, to at least understand the viewpoint of roughly half the nation,” Anderson told The Daily Signal. “For those who agree, to better understand the nature of the debate and the reasons supporting the truth. For those undecided, to get one thoughtful take on what the future should hold.”
As of Saturday, Anderson’s book has received over 120 reviews. It average rank is 3.4 of 5 stars with 40 percent of reviewers leaving a 1 star rating.
How’d this come about? Opponents worked social media outlets to orchestrate a campaign of negative reviews of Anderson’s book, often attacking the author personally.
As of Sunday, only one of the 49 one-star reviews was a “verified purchase” reviews, which gives potential customers authenticity that the reviewer has purchased the material. By contrast, 35 of the 76 5-star reviews are from verified purchasers. Several of the 1-star reviews insist the “debate is over” and that Anderson’s claims are “a deadly defense of dying worldview.”
A Twitter user known as Str8Grandmother, a LGBT activist, urged her followers to leave “HONEST” reviews.

Hey, let’s play “Destroy The Author’s Career!”
PING!
LOL! Srsly? Somebody has to ask that question?
Goes along with growing evermore liberal.
We have become a nation of narcissistic children.
Congress needs to reclaim its usage of a power it last used in the 19th century: the power to limit judicial jurisdiction over a particular law it passes.
We have become a nation of narcissistic children.
Yep, like a spoiled kid who needs a spanking. America isn’t going to like the spanking that’s coming.
The country went full tilt foul mouth in the early seventies. When I emigrated with my young family to Canada, guys didn’t curse in front of women, and women didn’t curse in public at all. We returned to the US in 1978 to find young women cursing like sailors in public and acting as if it were the natural thing to do. It’s been downhill since, with piercings, tattoos, etc.
Alinsky....
"my" people are becoming the few and far between....and its nothing to do with race or even religion....its just the slime culture....
Phil Donahue and Oprah
And Goebbels
YES. Next question?
Could you replaced the title with “Why Are ‘Customers’ So Angry About This New Book on Marriage and Religious Freedom?”
Something got mixed up when I posted this thread.
Thanks.
And Freud.....
We’re a divided nation with too many believing the Left’s revision of history.
The “narcissistic children” are adrift in a sea of debt they’re too ignorant to comprehend.
Saying the “debate is over” (or “I won”) is the left’s way of shutting down any discussion they don’t like.
Gay “marriage”
Global Warming
etc.
... and btw, tolerance is a one way street. We are supposed to not only tolerate, but approve, embrace, condone anything the left does. Anything we do is wrong. Anything we think is a thought crime. Tolerance for me, not for thee.
One crass recent cultural phenomenon that really bothers me is young women referring to themselves and other women as “bitches”. It makes them sound like trash.
And Freud WHAT? Freud would get burned at the stake these days. I think he did get burned at the stake. I forget.
Maybe because they are trash. If you act and talk like it, advocate it,you most likely are.
