Product Description
Enough of the leftist lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christians" are "as big a threat to America as Radical Muslims." Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Saddam and Mel Gibson to Hitler. Enough of the hyper-partisan, ultra-PC liberal media, which often seem more sympathetic to the "victims of humiliation" at Abu Ghraib than to our troops dying at the hands of Iraqi fundamentalists. Enough, too, of the gutless wonders on the right who don't have the courage to stand up for their own convictions. Enough of their pandering, trolling for votes, and outspending the Democrats. Now with powerful and provocative new material, Bernard Goldberg's Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right sounds an even louder alarm than before—warning that, if the wimps on the right don't regain their courage and reclaim their principles, the crazies on the left just might win the White House in '08.

 Thanks for reiterating, May 12, 2008
God love Bernard Goldberg. The guy had spent years being indoctrinated in the liberal ways of NY and CBS but is smart enough to evaluate the arguments. He's become a Republican and does a nice job of laying out the arguments. If you are a follower of politics this might be a refresher course but if you are starting to wade in, this is a great book. He rightfully gives both sides their fair share when deserved. Good book.
 A "right on" look at the left April 12, 2008
Great read. The book is well written from a right wingers point of view. I do not agree with all his points, but it certainly explains the positions.
I guess that would make him a far right reactionary March 2, 2008

Wow, this guy wrote a "word book." The title seems to imply that he is a moderate, i.e. those on the left are crazy and those on the right are wimps. However, if those on the right are wimps, then arguably they do not go far enough for this guy; thus, he would actually be to the right of the wimps.

Bernard Goldberg has guts! He's a man who is not afraid to tell it like it is! In America today, we are often hampered by political correctness and not being able to speak about how we really feel - without being labeled as sexist or racist. Having read material from Bernard Goldberg in the past, I was very interested in this book from the beginning. He certainly held nothing back in any of his previous books and I expected the same coming into this one. CRAZIES TO THE LEFT OF ME, WIMPS TO THE RIGHT is a no holds barred assault on what has become an unbelievably partisan and divided America. I have to admit that as a Conservative, the majority of my reading is of that nature. However, I am of the opinion that to REALLY understand the issues, you have to hear arguments from all sides before you can truly form any fair conclusion. That is what attracted me to this book. I expected a fair and objective look that split both sides right down the middle and bashed each of them while providing solutions on how the two sides could work together to get things done in Washington.
In this book, Mr. Goldberg covers in detail just about every major divisive issue from affirmative action, media bias, and racial profiling to taxes and the liberal culture of intolerance (to name a few). What I really enjoyed was how the author went into great detail about each one with real life examples and provided reasonable and rational solutions to each.
The only thing that disappointed me about this book was that it was strongly tilted toward conservative ideals. While Mr. Goldberg certainly speaks on issues that I mostly agree with, I really wish he had covered more of the "Wimps to the Right" as described in the title of the book -- which is really why I bought the book in the first place. What better way than hearing how Conservatives have fouled up things than an introspective look by a Conservative? While he does credit the loss of the 2006 Mid-Term Elections to the fact that the Political Right has lost its nerve, he does not go into very much detail other than how the Congress (and the Bush Administration since 2000) have abandoned their principles and allowed uncontrolled spending since the Republican takeover in 1994. All told, this book is very enlightening and is worth reading.

As a lukewarm Republican, I have been puzzled by the intensity of the Bush critics who appear consumed by hatred for the man. Bernard Goldberg's book provided the "looking glass" that enable me to "see" these critcs clearly for the first time. The author's analysis of Bush's failings resonates with my personal view. At age 87, I am disallusioned by politicians, and I no longer feel impelled to support their idiocy. The author's observations support my gut feelings.
