Synopsis

Think you've got it all figured out? Think again.Neal Boortz has been edifying, infuriating, and entertaining talk radio audiences for more than three decades with his blend of straight talk and twisted humor. In Somebody's Gotta Say It, Boortz warms up for the coming political season with a preemptive strike in the War on the Individual: ""The Democrats' theme for 2008 will be 'The Common Good.' I can't speak for you, but I am an individual. Government exists to protect my rights, not to order my life. And I damn sure don't exist to serve government."" He takes on liberal catchphrases like giving back (""Nobody actually earns anything anymore. Why do liberals think this way? Because they find it impossible to acknowledge that people work for money""), our rampant civic idiocy (""We are not a democracy. Never were. Weren't supposed to be. And we shouldn't be""), and Big Brother (""We have smoke-free workplaces. We have drug-free school zones. I say let's start establishing government-free oases, where we can be free to leave our seat belts unbuckled, and peel the labels off anything we choose""). And somehow, along the way, he finds room for pop quizzes and an answer, once and for all, to the eternal question, ""Neal, why don't you run for president?""—in a chapter called ""No Way in Hell.""Full of irresistible wisecracks and irrefutable libertarian wisdom, Somebody's Gotta Say It is one man's response to America at a time when the government overreaches, the people underperform—and the truth hurts.

Goodreads review by Chip on December 30, 2016

Boortz doesn't hold back in this book detailing problems with big government and political correctness. His profound distrust of politicians and merciless hammering of left-wing ideology is refreshing and vindicating. Much like his radio show, he'll make you laugh out loud one minute and tremble wit......more

Goodreads review by Dane on June 10, 2012

Boortz uses wit, wisdom, an overarching brashness to extol his libertarian views upon his country. I love his voice throughout the book and offers a unique standpoint on things like European relations, drug law, and several other social and economic problems in a well thought out and unapologetic ma......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on May 25, 2018

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Neal Boortz is here to stir up one last batch of puddin' before retiring. Boortz's conversational style and descents into political incorrectness entertain as well as infuriate within the span of a few sentences and is reminiscent of that one uncle that we......more

Goodreads review by Ryan on January 26, 2023

I’ve read this book several times before (and it actually influenced quite a bit of my early politics), but decided to reread it for the first time in at least half a decade to refresh my memory on certain topics discussed within. I don’t agree with all of Boortz’s views and conclusions, but I can’t......more
