Culture Warrior by Bill O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly for the most part appeals to traditionals and conservatives which he claims include
Republicans and Democrats. In this book he cautions that we don't cling to the old assumption
that if I'm Republican--all Democrats are bad, or if I'm Democrat--all Republicans are bad.
He claims there are people with traditional values in both parties and they need to work together to fight the war being waged by secular progressives.

Secular progressives are the 'liberal' people who ;
*challenge the role of religion in our society
*challenge the role of traditional marriage
*want big government in the hands of a few--them
*defend the rights of criminals at the expense of victims
*believe that civil rights are about 'whatever feels good for me' or 'what is in my best interest' rather than 'my rights based on maintaining the common good'.
*seem to have a huge following in Hollywood and in mainstream media

O'Reilly list several cases where the ACLU has been on the side of criminals and 'liberal' progressive movements rather than families, children, rape and murder victims. (This example is not in the book, however, the ACLU is poised to defend Gauntanamo Bay prisoners, and gay marriage advocates but hasn't seemed to find any time to help Joe [the Plumber] who is being investigated personally by the Ohio government simply for asking Barack Obama a question about taxes--interesting?)

This book is meant to 'out' the secular progressives (liberals) that are pulling strings behind the scenes (with millions of dollars) in our courts and legislature to promote their ideals--ideals that are fundamentally different than the ones America has been built on and that MOST Americans still hold.

What seems to bother O'Reilly the most is that the majority of Americans would never go for the stuff these liberals are selling--but most Americans don't know it is going on.
He calls for Americans to stop building their lives around their favorite television programs and Hollywood releases and start following what is going on in government.

He believes that if all Americans were aware of what values/rights were at stake, they would start getting more involved. He has motivated me to find out who my Senator and Congressman are and I won't hesitate to email them when I don't like how things are going. To be quite frank, I don't think this will do much good. But I get some satisfaction in knowing and I can and did do it.
