Art Imitating Life

[Roland Merullo] takes us into the heart of "a nation in grave spiritual danger" as the Son of man sets out to make everyone realize that "politics as usual" is no longer an acceptable alternative.

American Savior is a remarkably innovative novel that challenges our perceptions and beliefs while it wags a finger at the folly of our self-righteousness. It is sure to cause controversy among those for whom politics itself has become a kind of religion.

"The Crack Emcee is the Truth-teller and the Trickster, he is the Jokerman: he is the Black Conservative who has found his own ‘Slow Train Coming.’ To repurpose a bit of Dylan history: the commenters are yelling at him ‘Judas’ and his reply is ‘I don’t believe you.’"

-- Betamax3000, Betamax3000

"Crack deals with New Age memes like a terrier deals with a pit full of rats."

-- EBL, The Evil Blogger Lady

"One things is for sure-The Crack Emcee goes hard."

-- King Shamus, Blog de King Shamus

"If you’d like plenty of anti-New Age blog posts served straight, no chaser, the Macho Response has you more than covered."

-- Ed Driscoll, Pajamas Media

"He’s been kinda hard on the whole New Age thing for a while, I think."

-- Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit

"In a different time and place, Crack and I knew each other pretty well and his work inspired me. Though more political and sociological, he covers a similar ground from a non-believers perspective, but is unabashedly conservative politically. Check it out, but it's deep dark water; the feints may be indistinguishable from the sincere and it's not for the faint-of-heart."

-- Uriel Mastema, ᘛ Know Beliefs ᘚ

"Raising his Pimp Hand to the Lunatic Fringe. Yeah, I list him three times. You need to read his blog. Danger: You might not get it at first but I assure you that when you do, you will slap yourself in the head like the idiot you once were. Read it. Love it. Learn it. And that pile of smelly goo at yer’ feet? That’s just the entrails of your stinking idols baking in the hot sand of the Crack Emcee’s arena."

-- Panda Bear, M.D.

"Brilliant blog, brilliant commentary. Offbeat, but brilliant."

-- Counterculture Conservative HQ

"I've always loved the Macho Response,...you're ahead of the curve! Don't take offense. Be proud!"

-- Big Fur Hat, iOwnTheWorld

"Your blog is great."

-- Dr. Ben Goldacre, Bad Science

"The Crack Emcee was one of my life’s most important artistic mentors."

-- Donnell Alexander, Ghetto Celebrity

"An amazing fellow musician."

-- Keith Knight, The K Chronicles

"He imbues his words with so much bite, wit and shading that a lyric sheet doesn't begin to suggest the depth of what he's conveying. What he does is articulate soul-knowledge, those truths we hide from or can't find the words for. You listen to it with mouth agape, not because it's radical in content but because it's raw and honest, unconcerned with the truth-gagging politics of celebrity -- which perhaps makes it radical after all. If Paul Mooney and Nina Simone had a baby, then ignored it, leaving it to raise itself up by its own brilliant and righteously embittered genes, the Crack Emcee would be the result."

-- Ernest Hardy, The Los Angeles Weekly

"I have been mulling over for awhile now how I might act as a ‘force for good’ in this world. I am particularly interested in the danger associated with cults and indoctrination at all levels of the human experience. How might I help combat this? The Crack Emcee does it,...in addition to blogging on his many other interests, and he has been a big inspiration."

-- Diddly's Weblog

"Day after day, post after post, he gives incredible insight into issues we're all pursuing, but he's got this funky, incredible, hilarious, SPOT-ON take on things. He is a one-man Time Magazine, the way it SHOULD be.

There is NEVER a dull moment on his blog."

-- Eowyn, One And Only Shooting Star

"Good words."

-- Chris Locke AKA "Rageboy", Mystic Bourgeoisie

"I just came across The Macho Response. A lovely blog,...that describes the writer's journey from Democrat to Republican. There are lots of pretty pictures illustrating his story. What he looks at with a particularly bright eye is the occultism that is at the core of the Democrat world view today."

-- Power And Control

"A politically-incorrect blog out in the Bay Area…There is an occasional picture that is not quite appropriate to an office environment, although I’m not sure this by itself justifies a 'NSFW' warning…language isn’t fit for family viewing. The ideas are definitely dangerous. Unsuitable opinions. Terrible taste. Pictures of strange ugly creatures. Yup, we’re cousins, alright,...I’m certainly gonna read this 'Macho Response' guy."

-- House Of Eratosthenes

"Crack, keep up the good work. You're very funny and wild and you have a strong visual sense too. The pics were great."

-- Ann Althouse, Althouse

"Thanks to Panda Bear MD for turning me on to The Macho Response,...he’s a great read."

-- The BlahBlah Blog

"Best Bay Area blog, bar none."

-- Lupo Le Boucher, The Butcher's Block

"You are a genius."

-- Shouting Thomas, Harley's, Cars, Girls & Guitars

"I'd love to be on your team. I AM on your team!!!

As a former homeopathic 'doctor', I commend you for your bravery and brilliance.

Your blog is like an antidote to the 'New' Age too-cool-for-school-aid that America's been drinking like it's going out style...which, with the help of brilliant minds like you, hopefully it is. The sooner the better, for all our sakes.

I can't thank you enough for saving me from the eau de toilet/oprahahaha cesspool..."
