Product Description Bill O’Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior—and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a “secular-progressive” country. This is a conflict that differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even higher.
In Culture Warrior, Bill O’Reilly defines this war and analyzes the competing philosophies of the traditionalist and secular-progressive camps. He examines why the nation’s motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“From Many, One”) might change to “What About Me?”; dissects the forces driving the secular-progressive agenda in the media and behind the scenes, including George Soros, George Lakoff, and the ACLU; and dives into matters of race, education, and the war on terror. He also shows how the culture war has played out in such high-profile instances as The Passion of the Christ, Fahrenheit 9/11, the abuse epidemic (child and otherwise), and the embattled place of religion in public life—with special emphasis on the war against Christmas. Whatever controversies are roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them—and no one will be in the dark about which side he’s on.
Culture Warrior showcases Bill O’Reilly at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long.

Good Read July 14, 2008 T. Reid (NJ) 136 bad reviews c'mon are you serious. Nowhere near Ann Coulter at all. Bill is an INDEPENDENT not a conservative. Take the advice from someone who is neutral and has an open mind. This book is not bad like some want you to think. Do I agree with Bill on everything...NO. Bill is as arrogant as ever but I like that in people who will call you on your crap. I do see that there is a culture war as Bill puts it. They are trying to kill religion. I don't even believe in religion but I'm not so dumb and narrow minded to see what's going on. Values in America have taking a back seat giving rise to agendas on both sides for years and the middleman suffers (people like me). And it's getting worse. Some of these reviews are by people who you can tell never even read the book. They just hate Bill and you for reading it. And then tell you he is the hater. This is a good book people. If you read it and don't agree that's your right. Read books from both sides of the spectrum to get a fair idea of what's going on around you. And don't hate someone because he/she does not agree with you on certain issues. In other words don't be childish and don't be a hater. I am for traditional values. It's how I was raised. Take responsibility for your own actions. I can do without religion but if that what makes you a better person than more power to you.
1 Star is way too much... June 29, 2008 D. Milliken (Tallahassee, Florida) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If I were a tree, I would rather commit suicide as a sapling, rather thank being turned into the pages of Bill O'Reily's books. He is a contemptuous gasbag, who has absolutely nothing to say except that George Bush is his hero. Anyone with a brain would understand that Bill O'Reily is a big fat douche and deserves to be sent to the ninth level of hell, where all demons are forced to read his books aloud to those damned for eternity.
Biased Garbage June 17, 2008 C. Corbin 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read it (I didn't buy it because that would have been a waste of hard earned money) but I thought that maybe Bill had something worth while to say, Boy was i wrong. This book will apeal to the right wing conservatives who believe in a time long past and cling to it for dear life. The whole book is a peace of self indulgent garbage where O'Reilly pretends that hes trying to save America from some fictional Left wing boogy man. This book is for hard core right wing conservatives only, anyone else with any common sense what so ever will find this book a waste of time and god forbid money.
A Must Read June 4, 2008 Matthew Noll (Indianapolis, IN) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Many people fall victim to left wing media bias or they might like Obama because he is a good public speaker. This book does a great job showing what is behind the liberal agenda and what is truly at stake in the upcoming election.

Culture Warriors is one of the few O'Reilly books I could finish. It would not bore liberals or conservatives.
