 - IncisiveKevin Phillips never fails to cut through the historical fog in documenting the sociopolitical forces at work in the shaping of our current society. Definitely worth your time. Rating: - important bookKevin Phillip has written a well researched and powerful book exposing the stupidities of the Bush Administration and the perilous situation the US is now in. Everyone, especially thoughtful conservatives, should read this. Rating: - christo-fascism and borrowed successI bought five hardcover copies at retail and gave them away to people who bought copies and gave them away. I paid my kids to read the book. Now the book can be bought cheap. You want the truth? You can't (maybe you can) handle it. Rating: - Prime time History -- LIVEMorals from this outstanding review of practical economic and political history. - The only thing new is the history we don't know. - Philosophical decisions are elegant because they are impervious to data. Read it and Learn! Rating:  - Beware the Prophets"This book is dedicated to the millions of Republicans, present and lapsed, who have opposed the Bush dynasty and the disenlightenment in the 2000 and 2004 elections." {Dedication of American Theocracy.} The author would not have rejoiced when this volume was published to know the 2008 election could be included. The religious right is certainly alive and kicking and the author details why this is not a safe presure for American democracy. He points out how the religious right centers on one problem or social/political item at the exclusion of all others--thus a disenlightenment. He cites the increase in Black support between 2000 and 2004 because of Bush's stand on gay marriage, a strong stand among Black churches. Bush also gained in support from the radical right of the Jewish interest because of his stand with the radical Israeli demands in their disagreement with the Muslim world. The religious right is used to support the neo-conservative proposals regarding oil, environment, pushiing "democracy" in the world that does not agree with our foreign policies eithout much concern about dictators who support U. S. foreign policy. This is a worthwhile book for anyone who sees the value in exploring "new" ideas wheter the reader agrees with the premise or not. In association with Amazon.com | |
