"Rush Limbaugh, America's #1 radio talk-show host, bounded to the top of the bestseller lists with the record-breaking The Way Things Ought to Be, a New York Times bestseller for over a year and, remarkably, #1 for 25 weeks - and counting! The fastest-selling book in the country, The Way Things Ought to Be has sold, as one of Rush's devoted callers informed him, "better than ice water in hell." .Now, this consummate entertainer and provocative political commentator, whom conservatives love and liberals love to hate - this "harmless little fuzzball" who delights in being called "The Most Dangerous Man in America" - is about to make publishing history again with See, I Told You So. The Democrats may be in the White House - but even President Clinton can't ruin this country in only four years, proclaims Rush. Conservatism's most outspoken champion, Rush leads the charge to embrace and defend the fundamental values that have shaped the American character: belief in God, devotion to family, law and order, self-reliance, rugged individualism, commitment to excellence, rewarding achievement, and . the notion that the woman is always right. Not coincidentally, notes Rush, these values that cause liberals to have conniptions are the same concepts that constitute modern conservatism, which is constantly being distorted by the dominant media. But what underlies the liberal agenda of political correctness, multiculturalism, environmentalism, the assault on family values, radical feminism, and even Bill Clinton's tax bill? Desperation! says Rush - a mentality of chaos, frenzy, hysteria, despair, and total panic. Ever the optimist, Rush sees the "pernicious liberal movement" as a philosophy whose inevitable demise will lead us back to the values that made America great. As no less a liberal than Ted Koppel, quoted in Vanity Fair, said, "What [Limbaugh] clearly has become over the last two or three years is something of an icon to millions of conservative listeners around the country. I think it would be too easy to dismiss him as being irrelevant to the shaping of opinion in this country today. He's very smart, he does his homework. He is well informed. And you ignore him at your peril." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005187
