Book Reviews of Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life

Book Review: Courage to whip his supporters into patriotic frenzy
Summary: 5 Stars

Like everyone else who talks about him, I have the greatest respect for what McCain did for his country 40 years ago. He is a man of great honor and bravery and blah-di-blah-di-blah. He, and his equally bold running mate Sara Palin have shown great courage recently during their campaign rallies when they bravely spew their completely false yet necessary statements about Obama's un-American and terrorist-like activities to their deeply patriotic and extremely well informed supporters.

As this wonderful book makes clear, there are few men alive today who are better qualified to teach us lessons about bravery and courage than McCain. When that worldly-wise elderly woman at the McCain rally last week said she was scared because Obama was an Arab, McCain bravely corrected her and said that Obama was a citizen and nothing to be scared of. Then when another one yelled that Obama was a terrorist, McCain bravely ignored it and forged on with his brilliant speech about Obama wanting to teach sex techniques to the precious kindergarteners, thereby whipping his already hyper-patriotic fans into an even more, uh, patriotic fervor. I don't really know how any of these are examples of bravery or courage but he's McCain, with the maverick record and the five years of being tortured in Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib by Blackwater or whatever. I have read all of the Jerome Corsi books at the library just like that wise old lady, and I have also concluded that McCain is a safe old white man who will most likely drive this county further into the toilet. But that's still better than McCain's very "un_American" looking opponent, if you know what I mean.
