Bush Country: How George W. Bush Became the First Great Leader of the 21st Century - While Driving Liberals Insane

by John Podhoretz

Book Overview

In this rousing, persuasive, and hugely entertaining book, John Podhoretz says that George W. Bush has earned a place in the pantheon of great American chief executives---and shows in one amazing detail after another how Bush's success has driven some of his critics into a pathological frenzy.

Well Done

Well done book. Bottom line here, Kerry doesnt have a prayer. The real debating hasent even begun and already Kerry is tripping on his own statements and misstatements. Please. I'm a die hard Democrat, is this the best face we can put forward. Good book though.

The right man at the right time

First of all, I was thrilled to see our local Costco offering this book along with Let Freedom Ring and Deliver Us From Evil as replacements for all of their copies of The Price of Loyalty and American Dynasty. Did those two books bomb or what?George W. Bush is the right man at the right time. Good to see that authors like Podhoretz is telling it like it is. MANY OF US ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE DEMOCRAT LIES.Good to see that GWBII has once again passed Kerry according to recent polls. I guess the real truth is finally getting out.In another regard, I find it interesting that so many negative reviews were posted here on this book before it was even released. Guys, try reading the book. A saying that I believe in goes like this:"A mind is like a parachute, it only works when it is open."Try opening your minds guys.

I liked it

I thought this might be another rabid right-wing book, but it really isn't. Compared to Hannity and Coulter, this book is something that most people can read and see the clearly explained arguments for Bush.

Pleasantly surprised

Until now, it seemed the anti-Bush crowd had all the big books out there. I thought "An End To Evil" would be the first good defense of Bush, but despite an impressive pedigree, it was too preachy and narrow in focus. I had low expectations for Bush Country, and did not much appreciate the subtitle. But after a few pages, I was hooked, and found myself blind-sided by an exceptional repudiation of Bush haters, leaving no anti-Bush charge unanswered.Liberals will not appreciate this book (especially the way "liberal" ends up being synonymous with "wrong"). They will be irked by almost every Bush-loving sentence. But they will be hard pressed to dispute anything this book says.
