Hey, you! That’s right—YOU! Do you constantly find yourself grievously offended by racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, hatred, patriarchy, toxic masculinity, rape culture, and bigotry? When you look around, do you find nearly everything “unacceptable” and “problematic”? Do you take psychiatric medication to help you cope with all the world’s injustice? Do you walk around wearing diapers on your heart all the time? Are you relentlessly seeking “safe spaces” to get away from all the “microaggressions” that life unfairly hurls at you? Do you cry when people say mean things? Do you classify anyone who disagrees with you as a “fascist,” a “bigot,” a “hater,” a “white supremacist,” and a “Nazi”? Do you believe that “hate speech” is different than “free speech”? Do you often mistake mere words for literal violence? Do you think that people should be beaten up, jailed, or even murdered for harboring or expressing “right-wing” thoughts? Have you ever chanted in public with a group of likeminded, politically motivated individuals? Do you think that anyone who disagrees with you should lose their job? Have you ever told anyone to check their privilege? Are you convinced that you’re on the “right side of history”? Do you feel “oppressed” even though you’ve never worked an honest day in your life and still receive handouts from your parents and the government? Do you feel that “social justice” can be objectively defined and ultimately achieved? Do you think straight white males are the primary source of all human suffering throughout global history? If so... YOU’RE THE FUCKING PROBLEM, YOU UPTIGHT, CENSORIOUS, SELF-RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLE! AND YOU ARE RUINING THE WORLD WITH YOUR PSYCHOTIC WITCH-HUNTING, ENDLESS PROTESTING AND BOYCOTTING, AND MOST OF ALL YOUR ABSOLUTELY SMACKABLE LACK OF HUMOR! YOU MAKE THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS AND THE McCARTHY ERA LOOK LIKE A NICE WARM BUBBLE BATH BY COMPARISON! In "The New Church Ladies," beloved author Jim Goad uses weaponized words, violent rhetoric, debunked and discredited pseudoscience, and shocking, unforgivable hate speech to explain why the people who are always fighting “hate” are the most hateful jerkoffs on the planet...and why anyone who spends their life “shaming” others for not thinking like a perpetually miserable, microchip-implanted, ideologically clubfooted, progressive brainwashed zombie Social Justice Warrior should be ashamed of themselves.

Great book and writer

Goad is truly gifted with the English language. Not only do I agree with all of his points, his style and ability to formulate logical thoughts into sentences with wit, reason, and humor make this book a delight to read. A+++

This book was worth 1 star because the author complaints about life for most of the book. However, the Hitler story was so funny that it made it worth 5 stars.

My first Goad book

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I stumbled across Jim Goad on Youtube and found him to be aggressively articulate in regards to the current state of our nations political discussion, particularly in regards to the negative effects of political correctness. I took a chance and ordered this book, and was not disappointed with Mr. Goad frank and at times humorous take on today's leftist ideologies. As a liberal myself, it even gave me some good food for thought in regards to how to make sense of the social conversation being had today. I took a star off for the essays in the parody section. They didn't really hold my interest, but that is the smallest section of the book. The rest of the book is straight talk from a person with a big mouth, no shortage of opinions, and the common sense to back it up.

A funny and sad look at what ails society.

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017

Well Jim,

I had the pleasure of reading this delight and what a delight it was. I was going to come up with a witty, sardonic, sarcastic and slightly ironic review but honestly their is nothing I could come up with that comes close to what you have described in this book.

Our society has taken a morbid turn and getting to the root of the infection is critical. You sum up well some of those issues and their causes.

I will be passing this along to friends that need a kick. They are to nice to be angry but see what is happening around them.

Spot On

I’ve been hesitant to post a review of this book, since I’m sure that I’ll offend many. First, the fact that I even read this book will hit a nerve. Then, the fact that I’m reviewing it, oh, the outrage.

I really dislike political correctness. If you happen to have drunk the PC Kool-Aid, please read no further.

Years ago, I was an undergrad in one of the first colleges to be involved in the whole stupid politically correct rubbish. I was right there in the thick of it, when all that nonsense started. In one class, we were asked to do a mock interview. To warm things up a bit, we were requested to joke about something, only to realize that the joke part was a trick question. The instructor, a complete idiot in my mind, said she hated jokes. No, not just for the purpose of the mock interview, but she hated jokes overall, since they always end up offending somebody. At the time, I thought, what a sad way to live one’s life. Now, we have an entire generation of college students, who are just like her. They cannot seem to find humor in anything and get offended by the smallest thing. This is why some comedians such as Seinfeld and Chris Rock, now refuse to perform in colleges. Everything is labeled racist, sexist, prejudice, you name it.

For me, this book was hilarious and insightful, but it’s also obscene, and so I cannot recommend it to anyone. No. Not a single soul. Those who need to read it probably won’t. Everyone will eventually find something in this book that they will find offensive.

My favorite quote:

“If you’re really sincere about the idea that diversity is a good thing, you need to quit insisting that everyone should THINK exactly like you do. Unanimity of thought—especially when it’s enforced through speech codes and laws that restrict and criminalize ideological dissent—is not tolerance, it’s totalitarianism. Tolerating different ideas is the most important form of tolerance.”

Very few writers can snark like Goad can

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have not finished this book yet, but I have read most of these essays online over the years. Those included in this book are some of my all-time favorites. Jim Goad was "Alt-Right" (in his own sort of way) waaaaaay before it became somewhat safe - he was doing this in the '90s. Everybody really should read Redneck Manifesto - his message has always been consistent. He ought to be the very definition of "Red Pill".

But anyway, I just wanted to be the first one to write a review. Very few writers can snark like Goad can. I'm a huge fan!

Overpriced screed that would be at home on 4chan

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

I picked up this book because I agree with its premise that the American left can sometimes try to overly police speech. I thought the book might have sound arguments for how and why this has come to be and some thoughtful proposals to resolve the issue. Instead I got a collection of word salad essays written by an old white man who is upset that he can no longer say the n word in polite company. I'm not even exaggerating, that's one of his complaints early in the book.
All of the essays are written in the jumbled, frantic, ranting style of internet comments you might see from trolls under a woman's vlog. The author is not at all arguing in good faith - he is purposely using bombastic language, strawmen, and false equivalences to troll people. This is not a book to read if you are looking for intelligent analysis of the issue.
I am not trying to police his speech. The author is more than welcome to continue publishing his rants protected under the 1st amendment which I agree with him on. The 1st amendment does not however, protect the author from one-star reviews, of which I hope he gets more.

The second half consists of attempts at satire that are tiresome and lacking in subtlety

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is a game of two halves. The first section includes a number of well written articles outlining Goad's views on the many absurdities of today's so-called 'progressives' and their shutting down of free speech in the name of freedom, among other things. The second half consists of attempts at satire that are tiresome and lacking in subtlety. Goad is also happy to defer to science when it supports his arguments but is strangely silent on any scientific evidence that exists in relation to right wing shibboleths like climate change denial or attitudes to homosexuality, which he seems to believe is a consequence of childhood trauma and abuse as opposed to being innate in any way. Worth getting though, just for the articles in the first half of the book,

Reviewed in Canada on August 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I like Jim Goad's writing style and loved his Zine "Answer me" back in the day, but content-wise...there is just nothing here.

Goad's entire message--and it is short and uncomplicated and hit again and again and stretched out for the entire work--is that the Left is hypocritical.

That's it. He gives a pile anecdotal examples and...that's the book.

If you like his raging style, it's here. But this is a puff piece.

OK I am right wing but.......

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

First up I must be honest I have not finished this book, nor have I even got half way. The reason is that I could no longer bear the degree of swearing, the unnecessary antagonistic language and the short chapters seemingly punctuated with similar themes to the previous chapters. The book is overwhelmingly American redneck sprinkled with low brow idioms almost totally incomprehensible to anybody outside the US. Don't get me wrong I follow US politics and agree with the general themes of the book but cannot help but think that Goad fuels the liberal/left wing stereotype of the working class right wing type: a a foul mouth oath who would rather hurl insults than engage in argument and rebuttal. Don't buy this book unless you are a US redneck and wish to fuel your intemperance.
