Winning the War Over Liberalism - Part I Phil Brennan, NewMax.comLet Freedom Ring – Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism By Sean Hannity Reviewed by Phil Brennan, NewsMax.com Part One: By Their Fruits You Shall Know Them
It started years ago with Bill Buckley’s book, "Up From Liberalism,” and every few years since somebody has taken aim at the sleazy sub-culture that degrades the once honorable title "liberal.” Most recently, Ann Coulter weighed in with her blistering assault on the left – her best-selling book "Slander" - and now on its heels comes Sean Hannity with his "Let Freedom Ring” Miss Coulter dissected the rotting corpse of American liberalism by focusing largely on what these political degenerates say; Hannity focuses on what they do. In both cases the effect is devastating – no fair-minded individual could ever look upon liberals again with anything less than intense loathing after reading these two books. While Miss Coulter, who uses the keys on her computer keyboard against her targets the way Braveheart wielded his claymore against the British - which is to say leaving them a tangled mass of blood and gore - says that Hannity has done an admirable job and she agrees with everything he wrote except for his stated belief that underneath it all, most liberals are really nice folks. But it doesn’t take long for Hannity’s readers to begin to see liberals as anything but nice. As Scripture tells us, "by their fruits ye shall know them,” and the produce of the tree of liberalism as he exposes it are bitter, if not poisonous fruits indeed. In short, as you read this book and see the incredible damage they have done to this nation and the American people you have to summon up every ounce of your store of Christian charity to stop yourself from seething with anger against this misbegotten breed of socialist tyrants. Recounting his memory of September 11, Hannity himself seethes with anger.
Liberals, he added, "have wasted decades bitterly attacking conservatives as ‘extreme’ and ‘dangerous’ – conservatives whose mission it has been to stand up for the rule of law, free enterprise, limited government, and a strong military.” Unlike the left, he writes, our enemies " have not been distracted or softened by the allure of modern liberalism, feel-good feminism or radical environmentalism. They are not distracted from their murderous mission by absurd notions of political correctness. They are focused. They are fearless. They are disciplined.” And he was just getting started. For 294 pages he lays out a searing indictment of the liberals’ systematic dismantling of the Constitution of the United States. He rails at the decimation of our military, the deliberate demoralization of American youth, the destruction of the nation’s education establishment, the lies of an abortion industry desperate to protect their multi-billion-dollar killing machine, and the unrestrained pillage of American people's wealth by liberal politicians seeking to buy votes with the voters' hard earned tax money. He lays much of the blame for America’s unpreparedness for the events of 9-11 on the liberals who decimated our intelligence services, especially the CIA which had its guts torn out by such liberal democrats as New Jersey’s scandal-ridden Senator Robert Torricelli and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. As a House member in 1995 Torricelli pushed so-called "reforms” which for all intents and purposes emasculated CIA efforts to gather intelligence in the Middle East. Thanks to Torricelli, the agency went through what a former CIA operative called an "agent scrub. ” Wrote Robert Baer, a former CIA agent in the Middle East, "that meant we let go of approximately sixty percent of out human sources, perhaps more. Which seriously damaged the CIA.” According to Hannity, Torricelli helped create a series of policy changes "that went way too far. Torricelli [and his alarmist colleagues] created a public perception that the CIA was doing something wicked by working with informants involved in the dirty business of international espionage – the very people with the inside information we need and didn’t have.” As for Sen. Kerry, Hannity writes that the decorated Vietnam veteran launched a war against the CIA, charging the Agency with illegal drug running, a false story told in "a 1,166 page report by Kerry and his advisors "purporting to detail the supposed evils of the Reagan-Bush CIA.” That report ultimately resulted in a series in the San Jose Mercury News by one Gary Webb "in which he tried to link the CIA to the introduction of crack cocaine in America.” The story was false, but gave the Agency a black eye that helped its foes impede the CIA’s ability to gather the kind of intelligence that might have prevented the events of 9-11. Hannity cites other liberals who he shows played equally damaging parts in the crippling of the CIA. His book’s second chapter tells the whole sordid story. Tomorrow, Part Two: The Educational Establishment’s Left Wing Agenda, the Indefensible Tom Daschle.
