Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve
The number one New York Times bestselling author Bernard Goldberg is back with more hard-hitting observations and no-nonsense advice for saving America from the lunatics on the Left and the sellouts on the Right.
In Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, Goldberg speaks for the millions of Americans who are saying: Enough!
Enough of lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christianity"—whatever that means—is "as big a threat to America as Radical Islam." Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Hitler and Abu Ghraib to a Saddam Hussein torture chamber. Enough of the liberal media, in particular the New York Times, which Goldberg claims doesn't publish "all the news that's fit to print" so much as "all the news that fits our ideology." And please, enough of the military-hating crazies who run San Francisco! ("Just what this country needs," Goldberg writes, "a city with Rice-A-Roni and a foreign policy.")
But Goldberg doesn't stop with the crazies on the Left. Speaking for fed-up conservatives, he also goes after the wimps on the Right—the gutless wonders in Washington who sold out their principles for power.
He's had it with hypocritical Republicans who say they're for small government but then spend our hard-earned tax money like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store. He's also had it with the weak and timid Republicans who won't stand up and fight against racial preferences, too afraid that the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world will call them bigots. In plain English, he's had it with Republicans who are afraid to be conservative!
In his most personal, provocative book yet, Bernard Goldberg argues that while conservatives still believe in important things, the jury is out on Republicans. The 2006 election was a wake-up call, he warns, and if the wimps on the Right fail to regain their courage, recover their principles, and reclaim their sense of fiscal responsibility, the crazies on the Left just might win the White House in 2008.

Reasoned, Thoughtful, Entertaining
Goldberg's "Bias" was a landmark book that did not simply accuse the press of being biased, he outlined his evidence and documented his hypothesis. I very much recommend the book. In his latest book, he points out the flaws in both the left and...

Polemics from the right
This is more of the same tired argument that Americans are brainwashed by a left-wing press. Only problem is, the argument is backward, and Bernard Goldberg's polemical conservatism bears part of the blame for the tilt in information reaching...

Crazies to the left of me Wimps to the right.
Political books are normally a turn off for me, but this book is written in a style that does indeed hold my attention. In addition to holding my attention, I found that I agree with most of what is wrtitten.

An excellent argument for a 3rd party
Bernard Goldberg grew up as a Democrat, back when the Democrats loved their country, supported the military and truly stood for the common man. But today's America-bashing, borderline treasonous behavior from them has turned him off, and he...

Some sensible comments
Goldberg thinks that there are some strange things going on in politics. And to some extent, I think he's right. The very people whose powerful speeches against tyranny he finds praiseworthy can turn right around and say "on the other hand..."...

Crazies on the Left of me,
Bernie puts the views of the publicly highlighted people in perspective. He makes sense.

Loved This Book
For me, this book helped me understand the confusion I was feeling about my political beliefs. I had always been a democrat, but for the past number of years, was wondering how I had changed so much because I haven't been comfortable with the...

Fun read, scathing for both parties
If you are a conservative angry with being betrayed by the Republicans or a Libertarian disgusted with the waste of your tax money, then I believe you will enjoy this book while learning a few things. Goldberg effortlessly tears into the Liberals...

Snap!
Oh, it's "comeuppance time" for those pesky liberals and those wimpy Republicans, and Bernard Goldberg is just the guy to scold both sides of the elitist aisles. The former CBS News correspondent writes what I've been thinking for five or six...
