Bill O'Reilly does an articulate job of opening up our eyes to the real villains of the United States. They are corrupt, wealthy, conniving and viscious. I reccomend this book to anyone: conservative or liberal, democrat or republican and ask that you go in with an open mind and think through what he is saying.

people have a lot of hatred toward this guy.. but reading this book allows you to look past his tv persona and focus on his mission which is solid.

In order to know what the enemy is thinking (and the hatred he is spewing), I struggled through this atrocity. Admittedly, it is an easy read (so long as you have an outlet for the rage you'll surely develop when reading this bullshit) and there were one or two points i didn't entirely disagree with ... other than that i wanted to dive through the pages and the host of The Factor and all of his supporters. I returned the book to the person who recommended it to me with 7 pages of comments. Sh

I met Bill O'Reilly in Iraq in 2007.
O'Reilly graciously donated hundreds of copies of his book to Soldiers in Iraq, and even took the time to sit down and sign many, many copies.
Having recieved one of the aforementioned copies of the book from the man himself, I felt obligated to read it.

I don't normally read much non-fiction, but this one has certainly claimed my attention! Well worth the time I spent on it.
First let me say that I did the audio-book version, and I highly recommend you do the same. It is read by Bill O'Reilly himself! If you are a fan of Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck or even Rush Limbaugh, or if you have ever watched Fox News, this is a must-read. If Glenn and Rush scare you, this is still a must-read. If you consider yourself a conservative, you More...

Exhausting read. Mr. O'Reilly is on fire against the 'secular-progressive' forces trying to damage our America. He did not invent a 'culture war'; it exists and he merely gave it a name (that I don't like). He exposes the people, lies, and ideology behind the "S-P" movement, but in a way that is more arrogant and condescending than ever. He rants on and on and on - this is not a pithy book! However, he's right. He's harsh; he's unforgiving and uncompromising, and that is exactly what

I understand why many people don't like Bill O'Reilly. On his TV show, he can be obnoxious, with a tendency to talk over his guests. He is much more palatable in print form, I think, though this book in particular suffers from his spending too much time talking about himself. The idea for the book is an important one--a detailed explanation of the forces working today to control American culture as we know it. And the forces he's talking about aren't Democrats and Republicans. Unfortunately

For me an enlightening foray into "enemy" territory which helped me to see how "those people" think. O'Reilly attempts to fit America's political issues into a "cultural war" between the Traditionalists and the Secular-Progressives (or SPs). As a Traditionalist leader, he, of course, is right and anyone who disagrees with him is in league with the SP conspiracy to destroy America and America's God-given right to dominate the world. Amusingly, he justifies the rightn

Probably rolling your eyes right now. But I found this book a "freakeconomics" type perspective about the political agendas of both right and left. I liked O'Reilly's direct and informative style. Great insight on the ACLU and their origins. Very educational even if you don't agree with all he has to say

My "friend" Chad gave me this for christmas in the hopes of drawing me into a political debate. He got a smack upside the head, but I had to promise to at least read the damned thing before getting rid of it. As you may have guessed, I don't care for the author and others of his ilk.

I never finished it. I guess you're either into politics or you're not...and I realized that I'm not. I need "Politics for Dummies" or something. I agree a lot with Bill's take on things...but I just didn't want to spend my leisure time on politics mumble jumble.

An eloquent exposition of secular-progressives and their work to tear down the United States of America. Also included are not just the root and symptoms of our current political issues but practical solutions to overcome them. I disagree with some of his arguments opposing the Catholic Church and her U.S.-based bishops. In part 3, Mr. O'Reilly shows his ignorance of both his obligations as a Catholic (the works of mercy most notably) and the general social teaching that the Church has provided

Cliff Notes Overview: Bill O'Reilly sees America as being in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to transform it into a "secular progressive" country. He evaluates and interprets the opposing philosophies of the two camps utilizing, for the most part, well documented facts. Although no one will be unable to ascertain which side Mr. O'Reilly is on, supporters of both views should read this book, if for no other reason than to

I figured that since I consider myself such a hardcore Democrat that I would give this book a read, to 'hear the other side of things'. Bill O'Reilly doesn't speak in Democrat versus Republican, but rather Secular Progressive versus Traditionalist - which in many ways are the same as the party designations. O'Reilly did make several good points that made me think, and that I would even go so far to say that I agreed with. There were other times that I wanted to set him straight -particularly

Three cheers for Bill O'Reilly! I try hard not to develop any feelings of "hero worship" for celebrities, or people in the spotlight, but Bill O'Reilly comes close. I just really appreciate what he has to say, and the fact that he is willing to say it. Sometimes he's a little feisty, but in general, I'm glad he's letting his voice be heard.

Not being much of a TV watcher, I have had limited exposure to O'Reilly, and got a lot of info about him from my Mom in her final years as she was a devout fan. When I visited with her, She would always ask, "Did you see the O'Reilly guy last night?" When I said no she would admonish me with"You should watch him, he's right a lot more than he's wrong."
Now I know what she was talking about. O'Reilly is right on with his take on the Progressive/Traditionalist war c More...

I started reading this book on company time when it I found it sitting around at werk. KRS-One once said,“knowledge rules supreme,” and taking such advice I figured it wouldn't hurt to read something by this porknob (hell, probably not even fashionably, y'all know what I'm about). Sure, he's told us what he really thinks, but how does he stand-up in print; when he can't tower his football ass over people and tell them to shut up. Besides, my mom has been getting 100% behind Fox News ever sin

I love me some Bill O'reilly! I know he's pretty blunt but I like that, he says the things I think. This book amazed me how on the mark he was about the government and the culture war that is going on now--and he wrote this 5 years ago. People should listen up, and know what is going on around them. Traditionalists are in big trouble in this country and until we stand up and fight for our core values, what makes this country great, and what our founding fathers had in mind for this country i

Culture warrior is a book aimed at traditionalist thought and the fight against the "secular progressive movement," which is a cause aimed at changing America from a free-market capitalist society into a mostly socialized socitey. The book begins with a fictional "State of the Union Address from year 2020 and president Gloria Hernandez" in which she outlines America's new position in the world as secular humanism where a mostly Socialized Government takes control of America

First off let me say that this is a review of a book not an opinion of politics and please rate accordingly. I've enjoyed Mr. O'Reily's other books but this one is very lacking. It's too short. The first chapter starts very well and he explains his concept. It goes a little downhill after that. He will introduce a concept in each chapter and about 4 to 5 paragraphs into it then he goes off on a tangent usually about how someone has argue with him or has not quit spinning on his show. That's fine

This is an astute iterpetation of "what's going on here" in America. This was written in 2006. I shudder to think that I didn't start waking up to the socialist-progressive agenda until mid-2007 and O'Reilly claims to have been aware of it for a decade. Another nail in my coffin condemning me for sleeping on the job (of defending the constitution). I recommend this short and snappy read to anyone who just woke up. Come join me in the Culture War to defend traditional values.

Bill does an awesome job identifying the top brass in the Secular Progressive Cult, and how they will stop at nothing to establish socialism in our great country of freedom. The scariest fact about this book is that he describes the Obama and Pelosi Regime perfectly, without even knowing this radical duo would exist at the time of publishing… Obama and Pelosi are the Supreme Commanders of the Secular Progressive Cult, and I fear for the immediate direction of our great country…

Jesus Christ, this nutjob is like Larry Glick without the sound effects. (Pardon the 1970s radio reference, but someone out there must get it). He's a discredited joke. He is not an original thinker on any level. His only contribution to the world will be...will be...holy shit, he really won't make a worthwhile contribution to the world! And he's getting about $10,000,000 per year for THIS shit! Something is really wrong with this picture.

Considering this book was written in 2006 and Obama's name is never even mentioned, it's frightening at how prescient O'Reilly really was. In light of current events and proposed legislation I think everyone should read this book. O'Reilly does tend to come off as condescending and snarky at times but this is a very informative and quick paced read. It was an interesting counterpoint to "Audacity of Hope" (or at least the part that I read.)

I like listening to my political books and self-help stuff on my ipod, so this was all audio book for me. This is heavy on the secular progressive side (he is not a fan obviously), so that got repetitive, but I like the issues he talks about (child abuse, religion, immigration, education, etc) so it keeps me entertained. He's arrogant and straight forward, but what news reporter isn't...

A very interesting book, and one that definately gives me a lot to think about. I'm a person who is very grateful and appreciative of what this country has given me the opportunity to do. I believe the country was founded on good, solid principles. I don't want to see the principles our founding fathers fought for disappear, and thus, if what Mr. O'Reilly says is true, I have cause to worry!

O'Reilly is polarizing, but in this book he points out the culture war being waged in this country. The things I came to be comfortable with during my youth are being attacked. I cannot continue to think the way I was raised. I am getting tire of being told that I have to change the way I think. Being politically correct is getting old. Let's relax, "Can't we just get along?"

I am almost finished with this book. I am an O'Reilly fan because he is a no BS, tell it like it is, no spin kinda guy. I love that he says in this book that the problems are not between libs and conservatives in this country....I couldn't agree more. I know many libs who are still rather traditional and aren't trying to destroy sweet america.
