Title says it all
Conservative commentator observes that liberalism has all the trademarks of a religion without a divinity. Illustrates her analogy by examining the topics of abortion, crime, education, and bad science. Coulter criticizes ex-CIA employee Valerie Plame, war protester Cindy Sheehan, and the widows of the September 11, 2001, victims.

Hilarious, for all the wrong reasons
Extreme right-wing propaganda of the worst kind, this poorly-argued, factually-bankrupt book from Ann Coulter will have you laughing in disbelief at the continuation of her career. Any time she attempts to critique the theory of evolution (she labels this "Darwinism" which is an essay-length fallacy in itself) the book devolves into outright creationist farce as several of the other reviews have mentioned. More puzzling is that fact that the stated central thesis of the book, to expose a godless "religion" of liberalism is abandoned wholesale for entire chapters at a time (apparently Ms. Coulter realised about three quarters of the way through Chapter 1 how pitifully little weight this argument had) in favour of cheap shots at a handful of controversial left-wing figures the likes of which would make even Michael Moore blush (if he swung that way politically). Someone should have taken her aside at an early stage and explained the several dozen gaping holes in her attempt to brand tenets of liberal political stances as somehow amounting to religion (an odd and hypocritical choice in the first place since she subjects her own faith, and the ways in which it informs her political and moral rhetoric, to none of the pitbull rigours she employs elsewhere) and we could have saved a hell of a lot of paper. But then Ms. Coulter's fanatical hatred of all things in nature (with the telling exception of oil) and naturalists would not have been served. Couldn't have that, eh Ann? Also of note are the frankly disturbing attitudes Ms. Coulter, clearly a woman of some intelligence, displays towards women's rights and the movements that support them, but it is better left to a female commentator to analyse these further - I will content myself with simply stating my revulsion. Lacking a direction, a point and the means to cogently argue it the book dissolves time and again into faith-based and politically-naive ranting, but as Ms. Coulter herself states: "The moment self-righteousness takes over, you are dealing with dangerous psychopaths" (Oh, the irony).

One of the few times one wishes one could award zero stars.

awful awful book
Just pushing her own "shock value career", nothing interesting to say, the few good points she makes are clouded by here inability to build on any platform of honest reporting and common sense, most expensive toilet paper ive ever brought!
