Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

When Bill O'Reilly interviewed then-Senator Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential elections, the two had a lively debate about the nation's future.

Since that time, America has changed rapidly—some would even say seismically. And many believe these shifts are doing more than just rocking the political and social climate; they're rocking the American core.

What are these changes? Who, in addition to President Obama, have been the biggest forces behind them? What exactly do they mean for you, the everyday American citizen? How are they affecting your money, health, safety, freedom, and standing in this nation? Which are Pinheaded moves and which are truly Patriotic? In his latest spirited book, O'Reilly prompts further debate with the President and the American people on the current state of the union.

After five consecutive, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is megabestsellers, you can count on Bill to offer blunt and constructive political commentary. And as he did in his popular memoir, he offers some introspection too, looking back at his own actions and those of past Pinheads and Patriots who have inspired a code of conduct for such taxing times.

As always, O'Reilly is fair, balanced, and uncompromisingly tough when guarding the American way. Only Pinheads would fail to fight for what they love most about this country or to embrace some measure of change to make it better. The rest of us Patriots will read this book to discover the difference between the two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Familiar territory, but still very good.

Once again I review a good conservative book knowing that there will be pinheads who will attack any review by someone who likes a conservative writer's offerings. It is a waste of their time as I never read the comments made about reviews of mine and Amazon knows not to send me alerts about comments made. Now to the real patriots who care and who are literate. Most radical libs are not. So sad. Now possibly their little hearts are racing as they read this and they are frothing at the mouth. I'll say no more about that as those folks are already up to their necks in drool.

Now to the book. It is not, in my opinion, O'Reilly's best book. For me that is still Culture Warrior and Bold Fresh.... is close. If you have followed the show for many years then the opinions are not necessarily new. It is familiar territory and still a fun read. The only part boring for me was the Obama interview which I have seen twice. Twice too much as the Big O gets excused for a lot of things. Bill could have been tougher. Other than that it was great with only two mistakes.

In one it is written that while a good president, Dwight D. Eisenhower did not get involved in the Civil Rights movement. Not true. It was Ike who in 1957 sent troops to Little Rock to enforce the integration of schools. I remember well as I was virtually on the scene. That mistake is often made by the slobbering mainstream media and I am surprised Bill fell for it. Kind of like JFK wrongly being given credit for our entering the space age when Ike started NASA in 1958.

The second error is one many make and that is in the ranking of presidents. Abraham Lincoln is said by Bill to be our best president and George Washington a close second. Sorry Bill, this Virginian can't agree. As a history and government teacher for 41 years I have to put Washington slightly ahead of Lincoln. After all, George set the tone for how the office should be run, something Abe would have been lost without. Then again I guess I am entitled to disagree with a Yankee fan. :)

Now, I need to close as those pinheads who read this far are in cardiac arrest finding that this writer is a social studies teacher, a one time liberal who was involved in the Civil Rights movement, writing today as a proud conservative. Hope they know how to dial 911.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Read For Bill O'Reilly Fans!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2010

This book is a #1 New York Times Best Seller for a reason.

I've read several of the previous books by Bill O'Reilly including: The No Spin Zone, Who's Looking Out For You, The O'Reilly Factor For Kids (I'm still a kid at heart), Culture Warrior and A Bold Fresh Piece Of Humanity. I even read O'Reilly's only novel -- Those Who Trespass: A Novel of Television and Murder. And I watch the O'Reilly Factor almost every weekday night, either at 8pm, or the repeat showing at 11pm.

So you could say I like the guy a little bit. O'Reilly is a lot like me; a right of middle person, not influenced by the pinheads who populate the far left, or the far right ends of the political spectrum. Certainly he's not as far right as the man whose show follows his, Sean Hannity, who never gives the Democrats, or liberals even one tiny accolade, no matter how exemplary their actions may be.

In his No Spin Zone, O'Reilly tells it like it is, and woe to his guest who doesn't answer the question he asks and goes off on a tangent, or inane talking point. I had drill sergeants in boot camp less intimidating than O'Reilly when he's hot. Just ask Barney Frank, who O'Reilly filleted from throat to sternum, then down his flabby back.

Every evening, O'Reilly ends his show with a segment called Pinheads and Patriots. Some nights a person who had been a Pinhead in the past, now does something that elevates them to Patriot status. And vice versa.

O'Reilly begins "Pinheads and Patriots" with the definition of a pinhead by A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. "Pinhead - a simple fellow, a fool. So small a head contain but few brains."

Then he follows with the Urban Dictionary's version. "One who lacks the intelligence of the 'normal' sector of the human population; one who cannot handle the most mundane tasks due to lack of common sense and intelligence."

Then he names names.

Patriot -- The late Tony Snow, who was a Fox News anchor, then later chief spokesman for the Bush White House. Snow died after a two-year battle with cancer. O'Reilly wrote, "Tony Snow is the bravest man I ever met." He explains why.

Pinhead -- Democratic Congressman Barney Frank, who O'Reilly lambastes under the heading "The Cowardly Lion." Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services committee, more than anyone else was responsible for the present mortgage crisis. Frank oversaw the disaster of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and even said months before the collapse that things were fine and dandy with those two mortgage giants. Yet when he appeared on the O'Reilly Factor, Frank refused to accept even one iota of blame. He said he was a "victim of economic chaos." Pinhead for sure.

Since President Obama is on the cover facing O'Reilly, you'd think O'Reilly had him lined up for Pinhead-dom. Not true. O'Reilly points out several instances where Obama was a true Patriot. He cites the time at a Town Hall meeting on Father's Day, when Obama said to men who father children and leave them: "Just because your father wasn't there for you, that's not an excuse for you to be absent, also - it is all the more reason for you to be present. You have an obligation to break the cycle and learn from those mistakes, and to rise up where your own fathers fell short and to do better than they did with your own children."

Truly the words of a Patriot.

Before the Presidential election, Obama shunned any interview with Fox News, except with one person --- Bill O'Reilly. In "Pinheads and Patriots," O'Reilly gives us the complete transcript of his interview with Obama, which lasted about 30 minutes. Then at intervals, he explains how things Obama said in the interview either panned out, or didn't pan out for the President. He also takes Obama to task for not admitting he was wrong about the surge in Iraq. Obama admits in the interview that the surge worked, but stops short of giving then President Bush any credit at all.

The back and forth went like this:

Obama: What I have said is - I have already said it's (the surge) has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.

O'Reilly: Right, so why can't you just say, "I was wrong about the surge?"

Obama hems and haws, but never once did he say "I was wrong." And as we have found out in the 21 months of his Presidency, he may be incapable of saying he was wrong about anything, except maybe about the White Sox winning the World Series.

One of the best chapters in the book is entitled, "My All-Time Favorite P& Ps." Without me giving away who's-who and what's-what, O'Reilly gives his opinion on, amongst others, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, U.S. Grant, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Robert Kennedy, both Bush's, Cesar Chavez. John Edwards, Madonna, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and George Soros. Some of his conclusions may surprise you.

On O'Reilly's website, the book sells for $27.95, but he throws in a nifty "Pinheads and Patriots" tote bag. I got mine at Amazon.com for less than 16 bucks, and because I have Amazon Prime, I got free shipping (but no tote bag).

"Pinheads and Patriots" is must reading for any O'Reilly fan. And even people who are not too crazy about O'Reilly, should enjoy reading this even-handed book too.

Unless you're a Pinhead. Then there's nothing I can do for you anyway.
