3.0 out of 5 stars Railing against the right, November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Harvest of Contempt (Paperback)

This book is a rant against what Joe Armey (uncle of House majority leader Dick Armey) views as the creeping influence of the religious right in the American political sphere. Yet it reads more like an attack on the right from an unabashed Clinton supporter. Armey seems to think Clinton can do no wrong. The book is shoddily edited, with many grammatical errors. Nevertheless, Armey does offer quite a few solid points on the idea of what Noam Chomsky calls "rollback" -- the trend towards scaling back social gains made during the last few decades. If you can handle Armey's Clinton-chauvinism, the book is an interesting vision of what the "Republican revolution" means to the general population.
