100 People Who Are Screwing Up America Audiobook Summary

Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at “ordinary” Americans and detest so much of what this country is about)…the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they’re smart just because they’re famous)…the TV Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat)…the Intellectual Thugs (big-wigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut from left-wing to far left-wing)…and many more.

Goldberg names names, profiling the villains in his rogues’ gallery, one by one, from 100 down to 1 — and yes, you-know-who is #37. But Goldberg doesn’t just round up the usual suspects we have come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture.

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long as anything goes, sooner or later everything will go.

a surprisingly fun read. liberals will probably be ticked off by the conservative tone and the following hit-list of mostly-liberal characters, but it is a pretty interesting view into just how screwed up politics and political figures (especially the celebrities who really aren't but make themselves out to be)an eye-opener into the insatiable corruption of mankind

I had to stop reading an Ann Coulter book to devour this. It was endless nasty fun!Yep, the 100 people are well deserving. (sadly, some celebrities are lumped together and count as one - because that's how pathetic their existence is - Actors, Musicians, Models, self-important drama queens and Kings. Hint: Paris Hilton...)Some get listed, and don't even get a real comment: Michael Jackson! As well as Michael Moore (are they both forgotten yet?)Much of this book is political. So numerous Democrats "who are destroying America" get top priority. And even a few Republicans who REALLY shouldn't even call themselves that. But the liberal media gets a real good BASHING. The scary thing is: this book was written around 2005. So no Trump to blame for anything... This Fake news crap goes back decades though. Especially through JFK's time and Vietnam. Basically back to the beginning of the Democratic party.Tons of fun to read. And most of the 100 are still annoying us endlessly today. Except Michael Moore (who was #1 on the list and now totally forgotten in history)

Goldberg takes aim - both left and right (but mostly at the left)Just so you know, I was officially tired of the Coulter / Moore slamfest format about two years ago and I went cold turkey for quite a while. Mostly, they end up being long lists of high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the other side and while that is interesting it also starts to get silly after a while. Does either party or any party have a perfect record? No. Both have loudmouths and losers that shoot off their mouths and write insane things. I'm a Republican and there are Republicans that I would just as soon sit down and shut their mouths - they've said enough idiotic things to last a lifetime - let someone else have a chance!Now, Goldberg is in a different class (mostly) from the partisan bashers. He avoids the acid comments (a la Coulter, Savage, Franken, Moore) and he really knows how to write... Read more at: http://dwdsreviews.blogspot.com/2011/...

As good a political book as I've read in a while. Goldberg pulls no punches in reminding readers of the listed's most egregious sins (and even crimes, in some cases). From lesser-known gangsta' rappers, to far more infamous politicians (like Ted Kennedy), Goldberg calls out those listed, for their detrimental effects on American culture and government. Despite some claims, the book isn't a partisan attack of either side, and includes disgusting people from all political stripes.The book is easily picked up and put down, read one or two entries at a time, making it perfect for a stop-and-go reader like myself. Great writing, great sources and historical evidence, and well-painted scenes of how events occurred, earn a strong recommendation from myself.

Considering that I tend to lean toward the liberal spectrum, and Mr. Goldberg expressed a great deal of contempt for liberals at the beginning of his book, I was prepared to dislike it completely. I kept an open-mind and read the book from cover-to-cover. I was surprised to agree with so many of Mr. Goldberg's choices. Not because I had any prior knowledge of many of these individuals, but because of the way in which he made his case for including each of them. I don't think political leaning comes into (or should come into) play at all. This book should be read with an open mind (as should all books).

This book (I listened to the audio book twice)is a primer on 100 prominent Americans and the author's view of how they have tainted our culture. Very eye-opening. Between the first and second times I listened to it, Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Kennedy and Ken Lay all died, so I suppose the new title should be "95 Americans....". I wholeheartedly agree with Bernie on his choices. Our country and culture are on life-support and we need to change that!

Okay, so this book has some political commentary. Okay, so politics is ALWAYS a divisive issue that NOBODY ever totally agrees with. So What?? This book is fun. Bottomline. I have to be honest, someone as serious, cynical, and at times, grumpy as I can be really does need good laughs once in a while. Even when they come from such uncomfortable arenas as politics. But, have no fear, its not ALL politics. Besides, if you can't enjoy Mr. Goldman's commentaries on figures like David Duke, Courtney Love, Anna Nicole Smith, Matthew Lesko Al Franken and Al Sharpton, regardless of your particular political slant, then maybe you and I should not be reading the same books. Still you gotta love how the book begins with #100; Rick and Kathy Hilton.

I can tell you that mostly conservatives are going to enjoy this book. It was hilarious and enraging, and took you through all the emotions that a good book should.I will definitely check out more from this author.He has a tell-it-like-it-is attitude, and he doesn't just hit on one race or one political affiliation. He says in the beginning of his book that 'no two people will agree on every person that I include in my list of 100 people who are screwing up America,' however, I must say that I agree with him wholeheartedly.I think that this is a wake-up call to patriotism, and something that everyone should read wherever your allegiance may be.

If you are politically in the center, you'll find this old book full of serious humor. It is pre-Obama so it doesn't rate the current political atmosphere for social or editorial pollutants but Bernie Goldberg has some very interesting things—irrefutable comments—about some political, media, religious and academic figures still with us and probably still mucking things up. As Oreilly might add, "What say you!"

This was written with such a sense of humor. Goldberg is an ex-Democrat who found that his party has evololved while he hasn't. Instead, he finds himself identifying with conservative Republicans. It's a great, quick read with a lot of laughs. I can hear Goldberg's Brooklyn accent as I'm reading.

Excellant book. Puts a differant look on American today. Takes each person from 100 and goes down the list to the very worst person who is #1. He tells why in detail. I think he is one of the more common sense men on the Bill O'Rielly show. This is not a hate book.I'm currently reading "Crazier to the Left of me/wimps to the right

Generally entertaining, and I can agree with the vast majority of the list. It's a good conversation sparking book...leave it on your office desk for passers-by to thumb through and wait for the fur to fly. It's a fun way to pass the time, and as it is written in list form, you don't have to spend too much time getting to the stuff you want.

again, can't argue with the facts...heh, i looked back on a little review i did for this one this last summer...i said something like it made me want to work for the canonization of President Reagan...i think cause he helped defeat communism and did great moral and intellectual battle with forces trying to destroy this country...
