Publisher Description

In her latest, radio personality and author Ingraham (Shut up and Sing) calls on the American people to take back the phrase "Power to the People" from the anti-establishment groups of yesterday that, today, have made the country, according to Ingraham, "a slave to fringe groups, political correctness, expanding bureaucracies, and our own consumerism." Taking an approach that makes mutually exclusive groups out of those "working and taking care of their families" and the "protest culture," Ingraham's message is loud and clear: "they're coming for you." Specifically, "they" means the Lifetime network (brainwashing women to "swear off men and family"), the growing ranks of "Team Atheist" (including Dan Brown), "family deconstructivists," illegal immigrants and Islamic jihadists, among others. Chapters cover most of today's hot button topics-the war in Iraq, homeland security, the judiciary, the news media and global warming-with attitude and conviction. Ingraham's commentary on the lack of education in our schools and the "pornification" of the culture contain her most sound, articulate arguments (bolstered by a wealth of statistics), but Ingraham's assembling tactics are overzealous; still, fans of her strident radio show should be pleased to find more of the same here

"Though this book covers some of the most basic foundational topics of neo-conservative thought, Ingraham approaches them in a way that is both novel and mentally invigorating. While not nearly as divisive as Ann Coulter, Ingraham doesn't pull any punches in the name of political correctness. That, plus her strong Christian point of view, will continue to make her (and therefore this book) an anathema to the "do-whatever-feels-good" crowd. I especially like that Ingraham, although a conservative, spends about as much time criticizing Republicans as she does Democrats. When was the last time you read a liberal pundit who did that? POWER TO THE PEOPLE is basically the Christian conservative soccer-mom version of a RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE album, only in book form. Ingraham's sense of humor doesn't always resonate with me (and, IMHO, her recent books of political satire are downright embarrassing), but I admire her mental acuity in exploring controversial topics and the unwavering tenacity she displays in fighting for what she believes is right."

    " I am currently reading this book. I love Laura's direct honesty about how it is in politics today. I share her conservative views, thus her book reaffirms what I believe to the most part. I love her optimistic approach as to how we as citizens can step up and make a difference through our own personal patriotism, love of country, and willingness to speak out against the liberal bias in this country.

    " This book is a little slow-going for me. Laura Ingraham is interesting and makes some really good points. However, I can only take so much of her before my head starts to feel like it's gonna explode. It's the same with her talk radio show. Sheesh. "

    " I really wanted to like this book, but that was not meant to be. I found that about half the time I agreed with Laura Ingraham which was fine, but she doesn't present any arguments for what she says. It all just amounts to "here is what I think, and you're an idiot if you don't agree". "

    " Practical. Written in a simple converstational way to reach a mass audience. An excellent book to heighten your awareness about our the erosion of our culture and the influence "cultural re-engineers" are having on America's children. "

    " It's not that I didn't like what she had to say, but I felt she was appealing to an audience that already agreed with her. This was not a book meant to persuade the other side because her language is too volatile. "

    " Excellent work. Laura's simple and humorous style addresses very serious issues and urges the individual conservative to shake off that feeling of helplessness and work to return the power to the people - and show that the moral majority really does still exist. "

    " Laura has a lot of interesting observations and has a lot of passion for her positions, placing all of them as conservative positions. While I don't agree with all and don't feel she is adequately informed on some topics (like stem cell treatments) this is an excellent read. I recommend it! "

    " Its an insipid amalgamation of right wing stereotypes, poorly researched and thrown together in a quick money making venture for the author. Big surprises - they're opposed to illegal immigration and nipples at the Super Bowl. "
