Book Summary
Bill O'Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a
Culture Warrior—and in this book he lives up to the title
brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at
his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a
fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional
values and those who want to change America into a
“secular-progressive” country. This is a conflict that
differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative
divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even
higher.
In Culture Warrior, Bill O’Reilly
defines this war and analyzes the competing philosophies of
the traditionalist and secular-progressive camps. He
examines why the nation’s motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“From
Many, One”) might change to “What About Me?”; dissects the
forces driving the secular-progressive agenda in the media
and behind the scenes, including George Soros, George
Lakoff, and the ACLU; and dives into matters of race,
education, and the war on terror. He also shows how the
culture war has played out in such high-profile instances as
The Passion of the Christ, Fahrenheit 9/11,
the abuse epidemic (child and otherwise), and the embattled
place of religion in public life—with special emphasis on
the war against Christmas. Whatever controversies are
roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them—and no one
will be in the dark about which side he’s
on.
Culture Warrior showcases Bill O’Reilly at
his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting
fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights
the good fight for the traditional values that have served
this country so well for so long.
