Customer Reviews

This book is a classic!

Out of all the polls that have been published since Clinton's presidency, the most revealing was the one taken right after he was impeached. That poll showed a fascinating fact. Those who knew about Clinton's other crimes (rapes, assaults, blackmail, death threats, etc.), thought he should have been removed from office, and those who didn't know about his other crimes thought he was just an innocent victim, being unfairly attacked because he was liberal. The truth is leaking out, slowly but surely, and this book helps to make sense of the damage that was done during Clinton's terms. The poor folks who have been fooled by Clinton, and who have been taken in by his fake version of love, will be affected and hurt the most. This book explores that subject, in depth, and you can tell its a great book by all the reviews it gets. It is a genuine classic, and I suggest you buy it, and then have it bound by a professional binder. No other book could sum up the 90's better than this one.

Tight, concise analysis of the Clinton labyrinth of lies

If you are one who SUPPORTS the notion that character doesn't count then this is a book that will not make much of a difference in your belief system. However, if forthrightness, integrity, and honesty are important leadership traits to you then this is a must read. Mr. Bennett lays the facts before the reader in clear, easy to understand language and debunks Clinton supporters' point for point with Clinton's own words. One reviewer stated his dislike for the personal tone that the book sometimes takes. But what has not been realized by the reviewer is that the contorted double helix of untruths the president and his men have fashioned has made a book of this matter necessary. Ultimately only those individuals who would avoid reality will find great fault in this simple, yet eloquent, book that exposes the man know as William Jefferson Clinton for what he is. Even more... it tells us about ourselves. And you will not like what you'll see.

A Brilliant Refutation of Clinton's Defenders.

William Bennett presents in this short, easily readable book a clear, cogent argument for the removal of Bill Clinton as President. Anyone who is wavering in the middle, unsure as to whether Clinton's offenses rise to the level of impeachment needs to read this book. Bennett's arguments are logical, persuasive, and essentially irrefutable. This book should be required reading in college political science curricula.

Turn on the light and the roaches scramble.

Bennett once again flips on the light of truth in the dark, sleezy, corrupt room of the vast left wing conspiracy. Whose headquarters are now unfortunately in the Oval Office of this great country. An Office now corrupted and bringing down the Democrates into the dirt with them. You see, to the Clintons there is no such thing as political opponents or mutual respect for idealogically different opinions or beliefs anymore. To them everyone who is not of their belief is the enemy. Even to the point of feeling the same about the American people they are suppose to represent. If you do not whole heartedly support the Clintonites you are the enemy. With a capitol E. That means one half of the American people are Bill and Hillary's Enemies. Not merely a political opponent. Bennett knows this very well. And the monstous saber toothed, poison spewing termites of the Bill and Hilllary Clinton Machine (similar to the war depicted in the movie ANTS) go into motion to uterly destroy that light. I.E. the Peewee Hermans of Politics (James Carville, Susan Estrich and Mario Como). Throughout this entire saga we have watched as the liberal left (Democrates and Special Interest Extremist) have opened the floodgates of their true nature. Which is to defend anyone who supports their simple minded agendas and enslaving political and/or social goals. Regardless of the kind of person they are. Forget the founders, the federalist papers and the reasons America came into being. Power is all important to them not America. Their programs are the making of 21st Century Slavery and the masses are holding their arms wide open to this enslavement. Dependency on Liberal handouts is and will be slavery for minorities and women. It is just to bad that greed and power have blinded the leaders of these movements to the plight they reap upon their followers. There are no moral values that bind them, there is no honor to great to betray, there is no criminal act that they will not defend. There is no respect for the founders or the Constitution, nor the past where we received our core values. There is only winning at any price and any sacrifice. The Comos, Boxers, Conyers, Gores, Gepharts, Brauns, Daschels, and other left wing finatics of the left simply believe that there is nothing but power, greed, secular humanism and individual personal and physical gratification that matters. Their manipulation of blacks, women, churches and others is a testament to their total disregard for mere citizens for their personal survival, gain and success. Bill Clinton is a hypocrite, a lyer, and worse who will stop at nothing to maintain power, even betraying the Constitution, the American People and his Oaths of Office. These things mean nothing to him, but are tools to be used for his tyrannical regime. Do his misdeads raise to the level of Impeachment? In his own words and those of his wife yes, yes, yes. Who else in the history of this country has devided

EXCELLENT!!!

It is interesting to note that people either love this book or hate it for it almost always gets either five stars or one star. And the "one star" folks are very fond of using terms such as "holier than thou" and "puritanical" to describe Bennett's position. It is my opinion that when you have the evidence on your side, you use the evidence to support your assertions--which is precisely what Bennett does. When you have no meaningful evidence, you pound the table and start calling the other side names or blow smoke screens with facts to do not matter. I feel that Bennett shows tremendous courage and leadership by unabashedly espousing good, moral principles and supporting his positions with sound, logical judgement. That is why this is such an EXCELLENT book! He successfully outlines exactly why we, as American citizens, should be outraged by what is going on in the White House right now. Right is right and wrong is wrong--Bennett makes no excuses. Bennett's best point--being "judgmental" is key to any responsible society. He states, "Without being 'judgmental,' Americans would never have put an end to slavery, outlawed child labor, emancipated women, or ushered in the civil rights movement. Nor would we have prevailed against Nazism and Soviet communism, or known how to explain our opposition." Not only is it good that we judge our president--it is essential to the continued existance of this nation!Read this book and help make this country what the Constitution intends it to be!
