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 rightness of his beliefs by citing survey poll numbers and how long his books are on the best-seller list. But I suspect that is a side-effect of being in the news business, as he also ends many of his chapters with a teaser for the next, as though if he didn't lure you into the next, the reader might change the channel. As I read through this one, I began to suspect that the whole "culture war" model arose as a "good book" idea, and a way to promote his television show on the Fox Network. This one was on the best seller list for a while and thereby came to my reading list.
