Here's the Conservative Book Club's synopsis of Let Freedom Ring.

Liberalism isn't just wrong, says Sean Hannity: it could destroy America
But it can be beaten - in this book, he shows how!

Printer Friendly Version Fans of Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes and ABC Radio's Sean Hannity Show know that Sean Hannity pulls no punches! In his blockbuster new book Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism, he comes out swinging, declaring that if the Left prevails in America, the well-being of future generations will be in peril. He proves that liberal ideas have made America more vulnerable and created confusion in our society (and among our children) about what is right and wrong -- thus placing our freedom and security at risk. September 11th, says Hannity, has thrown the errors of liberalism into sharp relief: Americans must decisively reject the Left now, or face nothing less than the final loss of our freedoms. With his trademark forthrightness and courage, he shows here why liberalism is bankrupt on a huge variety of issues: terrorism and national security, border security, the economy, taxes, liberal media bias, environmentalism, education, faith, character and the family, abortion, and more. Hannity doesn't just explain why the liberal take on these issues is wrong -- he challenges liberal arguments head-on, exposing their fallacies and giving you clear, hard-to-refute comebacks you can use with left-wing family members and coworkers! Even better, he closely examines the careers of some of today's leading liberal politicians -- not just Clinton and Gore, but Daschle and Gephardt too -- to show you how they've stood against what's best for America throughout their careers. A few of Hannity's insights: The Left's sorry record: details of how for years, it has attacked and undermined the very policies and institutions that made our country a beacon of liberty and prosperity Why so many leading liberals think that the real threat to America isn't Communism, Islamic radicalism, or terrorism -- but conservatism How history has proven conservatives right and liberals wrong again and again since World War II Why issues like gays in the military and global warming were more important to the Clinton administration than protecting America from terrorist attack Horrifying, but true: how Clinton and his gang refused five chances to obtain important information on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda between 1996 and 2000 Our freedom: why it depends on more than just our constitutional restraints on government (although we must fight to preserve and restore those restraints, too!) The Gore record: why every American should breathe a sigh of relief that he is not President now Clinton and Reagan: what each did -- and did not do -- to protect the United States Why the Left is so contemptuous of our military and intelligence services The CIA: how liberals succeeded in hamstringing its work in tracing the activities of Islamic extremists -- just when we needed it the most The facts about race: how Democrats, not Republicans, have been divisive about race -- repeatedly leveling false and incendiary allegations about right-wing "racism" purely for political gain Six troubling questions that expose just how badly the Clinton administration bungled its illegal immigration policy -- leaving us vulnerable to all kinds of attacks John F. Kennedy: conservative. How Ted Kennedy, far from bearing JFK's mantle, has discarded his brother's commitment to a strong defense force The shocking details of how Bill Clinton spent eight years gutting the military -- with devastating consequences for our national security Tom Daschle's record of shame: how he voted against bill after bill designed to improve America's defenses (starting in 1979!) The Museum of Modern Leftwing Lunacy: Hannity's revealing showcase of the outrageous attempts by liberals (including several Congressmen) to undermine the war against terrorism Clinton's moral confusion: Slick Willie's outrageous speech blaming Islamic terrorism on the Crusades and American slavery Four ways terrorists could unleash destruction on an awesome scale in our nation -- and how liberals are trying to prevent us from being prepared The attack on the Pledge of Allegiance: appalling details of the liberal claim that leading children in the Pledge "makes our country as bad as Osama bin Laden" Gore, Lieberman, Daschle: three who voted against the proposed Constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration (plus Hannity's surprising take on the implications of their votes) Solid proof that spending more money on schools doesn't raise the quality of education How inner-city schools are destroying black and Hispanic children while liberals do everything they can to keep them from being able to get an education elsewhere Did liberals learn their lesson after 9/11? Disquieting evidence that they haven't (including a new set of standards for teaching history that omits all mention of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Ben Franklin!) Why, despite their protestations to the contrary, liberals aren't pro-choice at all, but pro-abortion -- and how they let their masks slip to show that they're not really interested in "choice" at all Clinton, Gore, Gephardt and Jesse Jackson: pro-life? How each actually opposed abortion until political expediency got the better of them "It's my role in life": NOW president Patricia Ireland's astounding answer to Hannity's relentless questioning on why she had to take such an extreme position on abortion How misguided environmentalism keeps us from reducing our reliance on oil from the Islamic world (and how Bill Clinton actually increased our dependence on foreign oil) Tax cuts: clear evidence that they work - and how Democrats have prevented Republicans from making hay with this issue Cutting through left-wing spin: how liberals commonly answer uncomfortable questions by demonizing the Right (and how conservatives can put an end to their game) What conservatives can and must do to win both the culture war and the war on terrorism -- yes, it can be done! "Sean Hannity writes with a vigor and clarity that inspires. Just start this one ... you'll soon be turning pages. Like mad." -- Rush Limbaugh "Hannity consistently penetrates to the heart of important cultural issues, staking out positions clearly supportive of moral and traditional values. He's continuing to articulate and bravely defend American family principles. Sean is to be commended, admired -- and watched!" -- Dr. James C. Dobson

There! Now I feel much better!

[lizma]

Too much to comment on!

Can we start a FR book club?

Anything Oprah can do, we can do better.

Since I mentioned Ann Coulter, I thought I should post the obligatory picture(s), which is of her and Sean when she appeared on Sean's radio show the day Slander was released.

I can't wait until I get my make-over.

If you want your hard-earned money to go to a conservative bookseller (instead of liberal booksellers like Barnes and Noble), join the Conservative Book Club at the link above. There isn't too much of an obligation to buy after you join, and you can refuse each month's selections ONLINE (instead of forgetting to send in the card).

And I can't wait to you post the pictures!!!!

I just returned to America after 3 years away and feel like I need to catch up a little bit on some of the more recent conservative books. However, our library never seems to get anything newer than 2-3 months old so books such as Ann Coulter's Slander won't show up on my radar screen for a while. Can you (or anyone else reading this) point me in the right direction for good conservative books from this past year, ones that have a lasting message?

By the way, just last week I picked up a bunch of bargains at a library book sale in North Carolina including David Horowitz's Radical Son and a book of essays by George Will. Wish I could find more of those.

[Black Agnes]

Conservative book ping!

[Bob]

Gee, what do you know, another surprise conservative best-seller.

[rwfromkansas]

bump

[Pyro7480]

LOL. Indeed ;-) I can't wait to see the leftists prove Ann Coulter right again!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I got your makeover right here.

[lizma]

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm so tired of waiting a year or two at my local public library to get to read 10% of the conservative non-fiction published.

Peggy Noonan's "The Case Against Hillary Clinton" just showed up a few weeks ago. But at least it showed up!

[hole_n_one]

I got your makeover right here

You tease, you.......I bet you say that to all the boys.

[ladyinred]

I so admire Sean, I can't wait to read his book! We just started getting his radio show in my area. Only one problem it is on ESPN radio, and they interrupt it often for baseball!

I'm a member of the Conservative Book Club, and I'm on ISI Book's mailing list, so I'm well-informed on new conservative titles. Here are some titles from the past 1-2 years.

The Clash of Orthodoxies: Law, Religion, and Morality in Crisis by Robert George This book is about the battle between the "Judeo-Christian traditionalist" orthodoxy and the "secular liberal" orthodoxy. It covers bioethical issues such as embryonic research, abortion, and genetic research. He also writes about natural law, homosexuality, and civil liberties. His basic premise is that the Judeo-Christian tradition is superior to the secular liberal orthodoxy. I got 100 pages into it before temporarily putting it aside when another book came out.

Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right by Ann Coulter: You've heard about this one, of course (unless you've been living under a rock). I finished this book recently, and it was awesome! I have never seen a better case against the liberal/leftist agenda. I met Ann Coulter once when she came to my university.

What's So Great About America by Dinesh D'Souza. I have all of Mr. D'Souza's books except the one that he released before this one. He refutes many of the leftist's arguments against America's greatness, and delivers an unique perspective as a naturalized immigrant. I got this through the Book Club when it came out. It was really good. It even helped me with two term papers I was writing at the end of spring semester. I cited it in the papers.

Principles and Heresies: Frank S. Meyer and the Shaping of the American Conservative Movement by Kevin J. Smant: I finished this book earlier this month, after I read Slander. This was another really good book. Frank S. Meyer was one of the great minds of the emerging conservative intellectual movement after World War II. He is also one of my intellectual heroes. His book, In Defense of Freedom, in which he outlines what he thinks conservatism is, is the closest thing I've seen to my own philosophy. He is one of the forgotten founding fathers of the modern conservative movement in America.

The Founder's Almanac, Edited by Matthew Spalding: I got a free copy of this book at this year's CPAC. It's a really handy book. It has a compilation of key dates in our nation's founding, a collection of great quotes by the Founders, short bios of the key Founding Fathers like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams; and it has copies of the Declaration, Constitution, and Washington's Farewell Address.

There are many others that have come out over this period, but there are too many to list here. I would consult the links above for more titles. If you want to know about any other books, just FReep mail me! I have many conservative books. My two favorite hobbies are reading books and listening to music. I've been fortunate enough to have been given books as gifts (as I did from ISI on 3 occasions). Besides new books, every conservative should try to read the following books, since they shaped what ISI calls "the conservative renaissance."

Ten Books That Shaped America's Conseravtive Renaissance (By the Intercollegiate Studies Institute)
1.) The Road to Serfdom by F. A. Hayek
2.) Socialism by Ludwig von Mises
3.) Memoirs of a Superfluous Man by Albert J. Nock
4.) Witness by Whittaker Chambers
5.) The New Science of Politics by Eric Voeglin
6.) In Defense of Freedom by Frank S. Meyer
7.) The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk
8.) Ideas Have Consequences by Richard Weaver
9.) The Quest for Community by Robert Nisbet
10.) Neoconservatism: The Autobiography of An Idea by Irving Kristol

I hope this was helpful to you. Remember, a true conservative is a well-read conservative! ;-)

I know what you mean! My local affiliate is also the affiliate for the Philadelphia Phillies (I'm from Wilmington, DE), and last week, they didn't even play Sean's show 4 days out of 5 last week because of a series the Phillies were playing. The other bad thing about them is that they don't carry Sean's third hour! I have to use my shortwave radio to get Sean's flagship station out of NYC to listen to it! They carry a local talk show host instead.
