This is a no holds bar collection of satire and polemics. Feder manages to destroy the myth that all good Jews must be culturaly liberal. At the same time Feder manages to shame pure fiscal conservatives as cowards. Liberal Jews should stop fearing the religious right and start fearing Don Feder.

Feder has given us a true look at the situation that exist within the borders of our country and clearly spells out the things that are going wrong and who is responsible for them. He is one of those rare individuals who can stand up and make you take notice of his use of the pen. An excellent book for anyone who believes that the truth is still our there.

I haven't finished this book yet, but so far it's very compelling. I must say that I'm not as adamit on certain issues as Feder is, but now I have another insight. Great reading. It actually doesn't put me to sleep, but makes me want to read more.

This book is one of my all time favorites. I do not with everything Mr. Feder has to say, but his writing style is so down to earth. He doesn't use invectives or vitriolic attacks. Instead he very calmly portrays the issues in a commonsense fashion. He then uses LOGIC and REASON to come up with solutions to problems.

I think it is the clear cut logic and reason that impressed me the most. Usually you see mental gymnastics performed by those who want to push their ideas and morals onto others. Not in this case, Mr. Feder simply shows a problem, looks at the history of the problem and then shows the logical solution. Pure simplicity.

Thank You Mr. Feder for writing a book that makes you smile and makes you think.

I don't think anyone is "afraid" of the Religious Right, and this is a highly partisan, biased, right-wing effort to mislead people. To be bluntly honest, the truth is that most people are simply fed up with the blatant hypocrisy of the "Religious" Right, and we are especially fed up with their efforts to impose their false beliefs on all of society. In other words, rather than being afraid, we are highly offended by hypocrites who have God on their lips but not in their heart. Instead, it seems that their heart is full of self-righteousness, self-importance, arrogance and intolerance, and that results in actions that are blatantly un-Christian. Furthermore, to claim that we are "afraid" merely reveals the real agenda of the Religious Right, which is apparently to make people afraid of them. Fortunately, their quest for worldly power is backfiring on them and they will be thoroughly exposed by the Spirit of Truth.

I'm neither Demorcrat or Republican, since both in my view.. Republican party being the most sponsored by corporations rather than real people. But I just cannot comprehend the "religious right" principles its morals on others by its sheer indoctrination homophobia, xenophobia, and its proselytization of people of different faiths...
