From the Publisher
With three straight #1 bestsellers and more than 4 million
copies of his books in print, the most powerful traditional force
in the American media now takes off his gloves in the ongoing
struggle for America's heart and soul.
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.
From the Jacket
"[Bill O'Reilly's] aura of command is fascinating. Success gives
him extra authority. He is diamond bright, ready to pounce, and
never at a loss for words.…I left Mr. O'Reilly's super-hot domain
trying to think of whom he reminded me. It came to me: Gen. George
S. Patton, complete with ivory-handled revolvers on his hips,
couldn't exude more confidence, certainty, and know-how than Bill
O'Reilly. No wonder Fox feels he's their gem. His mojo is at an
all-time high!"
-Liz Smith, syndicated columnist
