Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The polarization of America continues unabated, according to South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint and Clemson University political science professor J. David Woodard, not (necessarily) between Democrats and Republicans, but between secularists and traditionalists. The authors' categories are broad and their terms stigmatizing, but the distinction is immediately apparent, and their intent is specific: to expose left-leaning bias in the "value-free" rulings supported by morally relativistic secularists in legislation, court cases and the mainstream media. Referencing numerous hot-button issues-gay marriage, divorce, cohabitation, abortion, pornography and gambling among them-the authors review in fine detail a number of arguments (many familiar) about the societal and economical damage suffered by an America rapidly replacing foundational virtues with unstable secularist values. This call to action is full of information, and makes some strong points-particularly in explaining how government, and particularly the legal sector, is inherently engaged with morals-but the defensive tone can grow wearying.

Review

Why We Whisper by Senator DeMint and Dr. Woodard is a hard-hitting, even disturbing, chronicle of the current state of our nation. It is a must read for anyone who has the courage to know the truth. -- Frank S. Page, President, Southern Baptist Convention

As one whose career is rooted in the 1st Amendment, I know how government imposition can strip Americans of our precious freedom of speech. Big government liberalism and a decline in our culture must be stopped. For ammunition in the fight ahead, read Why We Whisper. -- Rush Limbaugh

In this important and timely book, DeMint and Woodard connect much of our cultural decline with attacks on free speech. The good news is they propose many sound solutions. -- William J. Bennett, Fellow, The Claremont Institute

Senator Jim DeMint and J. David Woodard boldly challenge the politically correct tendency to restrict speech just where and when we need it most. Why We Whisper is a clarion call to exercise our First Freedoms in a time of moral confusion. -- Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council

5.0 out of 5 stars Why We Whisper, February 12, 2008
By David M. Mcgrew (Akron, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have a curiosity, an open mind, and a thirst for full and honest debate on the direction of American society, this is a thoughtful book you must read. It provides a quantitative understanding of the pervasive ability of legislatures and courts to negatively impact public behavior through public policy.

This book is a well written explanation of traditionalism and the role of traditionalism in shaping our nation's history. It chronicles how our founding fathers and the founding documents all relied heavily on the strong underpinnings of religous moral authority to shape our free society. This moral underpinning allowed the people to rule government instead of government ruling the people. It reminds us that religion played a major role in societal change. Religion gave the Reverend Martin Luther King the moral authority to lead Americans to demand an end to segregation.

The book clearly documents how secular progressive have systematically eliminated these underpinnings and reshaped society in their secular image. The result has been negative consequences for individuals, groups and society as a whole. It documents how they have stiffled the free speech of those who believe that the moral underpinnings of religion should play a role in public policy debate.

5.0 out of 5 stars ENLIGHTENMENT FOR THOSE WHO SEEK TRUTH, May 28, 2008
"Why We Whisper" is a well researched compilation of ideas and beliefs that led America to stray from the Foundation of American Government. This book will educate and enlighten Republicans, Democrats, and those looking for supported answers to the moral decay of our society. I cannot believe a Jim Demint is a politician - he sounds to honest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why not?, March 7, 2008
The "opinion" by jg "saved" (maryland), as to why we should not buy this book, incorporates all the reasons the Marxists wish to silence us and stop us from even whispering. His Marxist view of God would force us to pay for his wish list of programs (his tithes, in his view), so he can feel like he did something for (he dared to say it) ---egad, be careful now---JESUS.

It seems to be the thing to do for Marxists to sit in their PJs in front of their PCs, bashing books that they have no intention of buying, so they can silence those for whom the Constitution gave the freedom of speech. This is why I am no longer one of them. The freedom of thought, speech, and disagreement is one of our most cherished rights, and they bend over backwards to silence all those with whom they disagree. Just for once, can any of you grow up and not review a book that you haven't read? Uhhhh yep, I thought not...
