Book Overview
The controversial radio host speaks out on liberalism, grassroots politics, and the control of America in a polemic that is sure raise liberal hackles
In the book his fans have long been clamoring for, conservative talk show host and commander in chief of "Gallagher's Army," Mike Gallagher chronicles the daily war between liberals and conservatives as seen through the eyes of a flag-waving, God-fearing, family-loving bigmouth whose ideology doesn't blindly follow the party line, or follow the rest of the right-wing punditocracy. Gallagher believes that in order to control America, conservatives of his brand need to express themselves passionately, without regard to political fall-out or agenda-driven conclusions.

A unique perspective....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Gallagher uniquely weaves stories of his personal life with a compelling poltical commentary. While it is hard to agree with all that he has to say, his arguments about the policital enviroment of the United States and our place in the world are persuasive. This is a great read for anyone who is interstread in a personal sucess story, a loving relationship, and using those as backdrops for a common-sense political position.
Is there humor in truth? Or is it the other way around?

First of all, I liked this book. If there is a concern I have it's how darn serious this has all become. People yelling at eachother. I mean they make a million dollars a year and there's a limo downstairs waiting to take them home to Tarrytown and they're yelling at eachother. Novak just walked off the set after uttering the second 'no-no' word. Well, Mike Gallagher has some fun. Kudos to him. It's a funny life. He doesn't express himself as a seer out to save America from itself. Yeah. He makes no bones about targeting liberals. I mean Bernie Goldberg targets "people who screw up America." At least it's a little covert. But like Coulter, Gallagher puts on his gloves and makes no bones about who is in the ring with him. I do enjoy his humor. I am uncomfortable with parts of the liberal view. Apparently, a majority seem to be also. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean I want to arm my children and live in the basement and use my GranDad's WWII short wave radio. Gallagher has fun. Makes a couple of good points and laughs at himself and us from time to time. Highly recommended. 5 Stars. Larry Scantlebury
A True American
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
After reading this book, I realized what a true american and great family man Mike really is. He touches on what's important to him such as family and friends. He stands up for what he believes in, regardless of public option. Taking on the Dixie Chicks and what he has done with Gallagher's Army shows what a true american is all about. This book lets you get to know Mike without actually knowing him. He lets you know that he stands for what right, not what's politically correct. I'm glad to have read this book and anxious for his second. KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT
Easy read - most entertaining!!!

Finally....a big time radio personality who doesn't take themselves too seriously. I appreciate Mike's way of taking serious topics and presenting them in such a way that all of us can understand and have a good laugh. Mike's realistic look at today's tough issues and acknowledging that both sides - republicans and democrats - can work together is refreshing. I say we need more books like this and plan to recommend to all my family, friends and co-workers.
A Fresh Perspective

Surrounded By Idiots gives a fresh commentary of Mike's observations of how American liberals have tried to distort the values in which the United States were founded and his personal experiences give us an opportunity to get to know the person outside the talk radio studio. Mike wants Americans to start thinking about how our vote will impact not just our lives in the future but the lives our future generations. A great read!
