When You Ride Alone You Ride with bin Laden: What the Government Should Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Agree with a lot, disagree with some, and I'm led to think about most of it. Great posters. Wish there was a way I could reproduce them from time to time and put them up here and there. "

" While this is somewhat out of date now, most of the suggestions are excellent ones that people should be paying attention to, war or no war. "

" This book is a little dated, having been written after 9/11, but before the invasion of Iraq. Maher is spot on with his criticism of American consumerism, ignorance, and obsessions with things that don't matter. A lot of the things he discusses are problems that should be addressed and sadly still remain untouched and rarely examined by our leaders. Some of his arguments, however, are extremely biased and short-sighted. Maher writes that "Taking literally ancient parables from thousands of years ago is much more dangerous than playing with a loaded gun." No, its not. Maher's prejudices and arrogance, particularly in matters relating to religion versus rationality (two ideas that are not necessarily opposites), keeps him from making a holistic argument and realistic representation of the world. "

" This book has a neat premise - Maher takes World War II propaganda posters and updates them for the Iraq War. It started out all right, but then I realized that Maher didn't really go much past the surface of the issues that he was exploring. Although he makes a few good points, his analyses of the issues are pretty weak. The original posters are more interesting. "

" This is the second book of Maher's I have read, but unlike "New Rules," I really didn't enjoy this one. "

" Funny a little of the time, serious a lot of the time, thought-provoking throughout, and very relevant. "

" He's certainly honest and upfront about his views. You can see why he'll never be elected to public office. He does NOT pander to popular public opinion at all. "

" Parts are funny, but honestly, Bill Maher hates women. I kind of want to hate him right back. He is terribly smart and clever and all that and I laugh at his jokes, but then I get to a part where I realize once again, he hates women... and any enjoyment is over for me. "

" Well, this shit takes about one hour to read. If you're in the mood for listening to 'New Rules' crap from an american who can not think out of his circle and perhaps doesn't realize there are people who don't follow his religion i.e. Americanism, you must definitely read this. "

" I like Bill Maher, his opinions are generally well reasoned. Though this is a fairly old book it is still very relevant for 2012. "

" Much better than I expected, and quite even-handed. Maher gives liberals and conservatives alike a heavy dose of sarcastic yet well reasoned common sense. "

" This book is full of refreshingly honest essays about the post-911 era, and its derivative artwork is really impressive. "

" Funny, self-serving, thought-provoking, smug... all this and more... "

" This was one of his more boring books, IMHO. While always biting and sharp, this one wasn't as engaging or smartly written as his other ones. Still an unabashed Bill Maher fan, though. "

" Funny. Insightful. Mostly funny. "

" Some of the points are a little dated, and Bill Maher says some crazy stuff, but this book is overall a good read. "

" The less is said about this piece of paranoid, islamophobic crap, the better. To think I sorta liked Bill Maher before - despite the douchiness and all the zionist apologetics. To add insult to injury, this pamphlet isn't even funny. Not once. "

" Different than what I expected. "

" Quite funny. Many good points for both sides of the politics spectrum. Not overly partisan. "

" Ugh. Am I the only person who finds Bill Maher just a bit too smug? "

" This book was a lot of common sense stuff. It seemed even handed politically for the most part. I'm sure everyone will find things to agree and disagree with. It was an interesting and sometimes thought provoking read. "

" I'm a little late to this party, since it was written sometime in Bush's first term, but there's a lot here that we STILL don't do or pay attention to. Should be required reading for all Americans. I'd love to see an update. "

" Looks like a coffee table book, but is actually informative. Even if Bill Maher is a douche. "

" never got to finish it! but got the point. ? "

" Bill Maher was always the witty and honest political commentator. This book is reflective of that. Meant for the Americans, and not necessarily for the rest of the world, this can be quite an interesting read. "

" This book is full of refreshingly honest essays about the post-911 era, and its derivative artwork is really impressive. "

" Negatives: acerbic, bombastic, negative, anti-religion Positives: funny funny funny, truths about our self-indulgent culture, refreshingly politically independent 3.5 stars. I Did the audiobook and it was fun listening the Maher do his own humor. "

" Uses historical posters to make some modern points "

" Much better than I expected, and quite even-handed. Maher gives liberals and conservatives alike a heavy dose of sarcastic yet well reasoned common sense. "
