Overview (categorized by chapter)

  1. Savage first discusses George W. Bush's actions in the War in Iraq. He argues that the U.S. could free Iraq and move out. Savage uses a comparison to George S. Patton for his plan. He concludes that with the war over, the US would have more time to focus on domestic problems.
  2. In the second chapter Savage states his belief that Islamist radicals have turned the growth of Islam into a dangerous campaign, arguing that Islam has links to most terrorist attacks that have occurred the past 20 years.

Savage calls radical Islamists Islamofascists, and points out his belief that they have become a large threat in recent years.
  3. Savage then addresses illegal immigration. According to his estimates, over 12 million people entered the United States illegally each year for the past several years before 2005.

He claims that illegal immigrants also indirectly take money from American citizens through welfare and Medicaid as well as tax evasion and an increased load on the criminal justice system.
  4. Savage then discusses lawyers, explaining why he believes that many of the numerous lawsuits filed in the U.S. are unnecessary. One of his examples is Seong Sil Kim v.

Savage alleges that approximately 80% of doctors order unneeded tests and 74% refer patients to other specialists to avoid getting sued, and that many times the tests are paid for with tax money.
  5. Savage then discusses mass media, criticizing its characterizations of Yassar Arafat following the PLO founder's death. Savage claims that the PLO has killed millions of opposers, and that Arafat was indirectly responsible for millions of deaths; Savage criticizes Arafat's posthumous media profile as "innovative" and "freedom fighter'". Savage also criticizes Arafat for reportedly hiding away billions of dollars that came from different countries that was to help the Palestinian people.
  6. Savage criticizes groups such as the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
  7. The book ends with a list of reasons why Savage believes John Kerry lost the 2004 election. Savage's emphasis was on gay marriage, arguing that too many voters oppose it.
