Average customer review:Product Description
Nearly three years have passed since that tragic day in September. Since then, our wounds have healed, but our senses and memories have dulled.
At first, the nation rallied behind its leader. But by the time the confrontation with Iraq presented itself, our courage and moral certainty seemed to fade in the face of partisan bickering and posturing.
Now the political left and the Democratic Party are trying to use the demanding aftermath of the war to exploit our national cause for their own political advantage.
How could we allow ourselves to forget so soon?
--from Deliver Us from Evil
Sean Hannity's first blockbuster book, the New York Times bestseller Let Freedom Ring, cemented his place as the freshest and most compelling conservative voice in the country. As the host of the phenomenally successful Hannity & Colmes on the Fox News Channel and The Sean Hannity Show on ABC Radio, Hannity has won a wildly devoted fan base. Now he brings his plainspoken, take-no-prisoners style to the continuing War on Terror abroad -- and liberalism at home -- in Deliver Us from Evil.
"Evil exists," Hannity asserts. "It is real, and it means to harm us." And in these pages he revisits the harsh lessons America has learned in confronting evil in the past and the present, to illuminate the course we must take in the future. Tracing a direct line from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin through Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, he reminds us of the courage and moral clarity of our great leaders. And he reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern Democratic Party -- from Howard Dean and John Kerry to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
As Americans face the ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, Sean Hannity reminds us that we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home. With his trademark blend of passion and hard-hitting commentary, he urges Americans to recognize the dangers of putting our faith in toothless "multilateralism" when the times call for decisive action. For only through strong defense of our freedoms, at home and around the world, can we preserve America's security and liberty in the dangerous twenty-first century.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Conservative Fox Television news host and bestselling author Hannity sees behind the ills of the world one cause: evil. And so Hannity joins the "neocon" chorus, positing that totalitarian regimes, such as Hussein's in Iraq, Hitler's Germany and the former Soviet Union, serve as breeding grounds for evil, thus justifying President Bush's policy of pre-emptive action against countries that could threaten American interests. Despite "irrefutable evidence," Hannity writes, today's liberals inexplicably doubt that "absolute evil truly exists," and instead foolishly cling to the idea that the world's problems might arise from social, psychological and cultural differences or from economic inequality. Fans of Hannityâ€"Christian conservatives in particularâ€"will no doubt embrace this straightforward call to arms. Many readers, however, will find Hannity's "irrefutable" evidence to be anything but, and his selective use of history and circular logic raise far more questions than it settles. Two final chapters examine what Hannity considers to be the dangerous, partisan policies espoused by the current slate of Democratic presidential candidates. For our democracy to survive, Hannity argues, we must root out terrorists and defeat evil totalitarian regimes before they can harm usâ€"a theme that will no doubt play loudly this election season.

Deliver us from Insanity
From the melodramatic title to the end, this book was a tough read. Sean's remarks are simplistic to the point of imbecility. (His logic is something akin to: all lemons are yellow; my car is yellow; my car must be a lemon.) He even repeats himself, and his references are shoddy.
This is the man who voiced opposition to President Clinton sending troops to Bosnia to eliminate the genocide and ethnic cleansing, which it did. Sean asserted that it was his patriotic duty to speak out as an American, and his exercise of free speech. He asked, how this president could justify his actions to American families when their relatives started coming home in body bags. When Bush invaded Iraq, patriotic duty and free speech went out the window when he asserted that criticism of the Bush administration was undermining our national resolve.
His real low point came when a renegade NYC Police Officer named Volpe sodomized Abner Luema (spelling?) with a broom handle in a police precinct. With nothing more than an intuition, Sean announced on the air that maybe that penetration came from the victim's lifestyle. Sean and Volpe's father shared microphones as they crooned a popular melody with made-up lyrics that implied the same. The crooning stopped suddenly when Volpe was fired from the force, and admitted to the sodomy.
Sean again showed his patriotism and wisdom in 1998 when President Clinton announced that a terrorist named Usama bin Laden and his al Qaeda group were the biggest threat to the US. Hannity joined the chorus of republican legislators who ignored the warning, accusing Clinton of "wagging the dog" in order to take focus from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Naturally, the bottom line is that all liberals are evil, and all conservatives are good. All liberals are blind, and conservatives are visionary.
There's just one question I have that Sean seemed to miss, and didn't address:
He claims:
Bill Clinton was responsible for 9/11.
President Bush was only in office eight months.
It wasn't enough time to prepare us against terrorist attack.
Okay.
The first bombing of the World Trade Center occurred six weeks after Bill Clinton came to office.
Does that mean that it was Clinton's predecessor, George Bush's father (41) who was responsible for the first bombing?
Finally, all his callers compliment him as a patriotic American, but what has this man done except talk? Like most chickenhawks, he's a great talker, but you have to walk the walk. I'm waiting for Sean to take his first step.
He doesn't back down, that's for sure
First, please do not let the 1-star reviews from those who never bothered to read this book throw you. Many are upset at Sean Hannity's #1 radio program and popular Fox News television program and are looking for a way to strike back. This is it.
The truth is depotism and terrorism are the two most threatening issues America faces abroad, while liberalism is the prime force that threatens America's ability to fight depotism and terrorism - only this time, this threat comes from within. Hannity defends America's choice to liberate Iraq for the mutual safety of America and the Iraqi people. He supports George Bush's "moral clarity" and argues that democracy will survive only after despotism and terrorism are eliminated - hardly something to argue against.
Just the FACTS!
First and foremost, this was an excellent book. Well researched, very well thought out, and put into a format that was easy to read and comprehend. Once again, Sean points out the finer points and facts of people's voting history's in the Senate and House, and what people are on record as saying. It is absolutely amazing the utter hypocrisy of some of the "leaders" in our Congress, but it also unfortunate that people do not educate themselves as to what a person REALLY stands for. But I guess you cannot force people to educate themselves?
But again and again, and here on this board, we see the liberal mantra of attack, attack, attack. They have no facts to back up their assertions, yet that doesn't stop them. Remember, facts do not matter to liberals, so to argue something based on a fact will prove useless to people that do not use logic or fact to come up with their belief system. The liberal belief system is based on emotion, which is usually illogical and based on symbolism. That is what we see time and time again, emotional outbursts with no facts at all...pretty sad that is base of a political party! I always remember my father telling me to NEVER, never make a big decision when you are initially emotional about a certain issue. That is proven to be something of value in many cases throughout my life...think through something before I react to it, especially something that causes me to become initially very emotional. Unfortunately, that is the exact opposite of what the modern day democrats do. Truman and JFK would be ashamed! But they would probably agree wholeheartedly with this book!
