Editorial Review:

Product Description:

The number one New York Times bestselling author Bernard Goldberg is back with more hard-hitting observations and no-nonsense advice for saving America from the lunatics on the Left and the sellouts on the Right.

In Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, Goldberg speaks for the millions of Americans who are saying: Enough!



Enough of lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christianity"—whatever that means—is "as big a threat to America as Radical Islam." Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Hitler and Abu Ghraib to a Saddam Hussein torture chamber. Enough of the liberal media, in particular the New York Times, which Goldberg claims doesn't publish "all the news that's fit to print" so much as "all the news that fits our ideology." And please, enough of the military-hating crazies who run San Francisco! ("Just what this country needs," Goldberg writes, "a city with Rice-A-Roni and a foreign policy.")



But Goldberg doesn't stop with the crazies on the Left. Speaking for fed-up conservatives, he also goes after the wimps on the Right—the gutless wonders in Washington who sold out their principles for power.



He's had it with hypocritical Republicans who say they're for small government but then spend our hard-earned tax money like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store. He's also had it with the weak and timid Republicans who won't stand up and fight against racial preferences, too afraid that the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world will call them bigots. In plain English, he's had it with Republicans who are afraid to be conservative!



In his most personal, provocative book yet, Bernard Goldberg argues that while conservatives still believe in important things, the jury is out on Republicans. The 2006 election was a wake-up call, he warns, and if the wimps on the Right fail to regain their courage, recover their principles, and reclaim their sense of fiscal responsibility, the crazies on the Left just might win the White House in 2008.






Rating: - Respect for the Jews
I respect the fact that Bernie has come out with a lashing against the more than obvious biased media here in the USA. I feel some sympathy for his treatment as a Jewish member of society (and the fact he endures life in Miami only speaking English). I think that he would have been better off leaving out a lot of what he wrote about the Jewish persecution, I got the point after the first mention. Around 650 AD or so the Jews (and Christians mind you) began being victims of that NUT-CASE Muhammed. ... Read More

Rating: - Funny and effective
Libertarian-conservative Bernard Goldberg lets the Left have it in this enjoyable book. The New York Times, Rosie O'Donnell, and other bastions of leftist foolishness are put in their place. I also respect his wilingness to criticize conservatives, asking whether they would have endorsed nation-building in Iraq if Bill Clinton had invaded it instead of Bush. A good question; one which I do not have the answer to. He also attacks creationism, which made me like the book more. I recommend Crazies, especially ... Read More

Rating: - Wimpiness trumps it all
"Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right (Kindle edition)"

What got my attention was the discussion of race. He asks: "When did Republicans lose their nerve on race? And why?" According to Shelby Steele: "White guilt does not depend on the goodwill or geniune decency of people. It depends upon their fear of stigmatization, their fear of being called racist." But white guilt doesn't just apply to conservatives nor Republicans, nor does fear as the following quote shows: "There is no subject ... Read More

Rating: - Crazies to the left, and what about the Right?
For a man who wrote a book called "Bias", This is the most Bias book I have ever read. The entire book is Liberal bashing, calling them racists and bigots. The only thing he utters about Conservatives is that they are to scared to adress racial issues.

I can agree with him that the is lots of liberal bias in the media, and that many of them have turned crazy. but anyone who says he has been a liberal his entire life, then slowly went to the right, goes on to say that Fox news is the only network ... Read More

Rating: - Yhrow All the Politicians Out!
Goldberg is right on .... he shines the light of greedy self interest on both parties. Those of us who think the system is broke, and anything the politicians do to attempt fixing it only make it worse, will love this book.
