She has written several books and is a contributor to the Huffington Post. Public knowledgeWolf wondered how young persons could be accurately called citizens and complained that young people don't understand capital-D "Democracy".[1] She wrote in 2007:
The End of AmericaHer book The End of America described parallels between the United States of America and pre-World War II Germany including surveillance of citizens, extrajudicial detention, paramilitary forces, torture, and wondered whether America faced the prospect of fascism.[3] She said the National Counterterrorism Center had the names of roughly 775,000 "terror suspects" in February 2008.[4] Conservative writer Michael C. Moynihan called the book "monumentally stupid", termed Wolf "America's most successful anti-fascist," and continues criticism of the Obama Administration as well as the George W. Bush Administration.He said she has "kind words" for libertarians in the Tea Party Movement for the libertarian participants in the Tea Party movement. He says she accuses President Obama of "being like Hitler" but does it very differently than Glenn Beck. When she says that "Obama has done things like Hitler did," she does it with an academic degree.
He said that when she attended a Ron Paul rally, she met met "a lot of 'ordinary' people, as in not privileged" and advises her fellow leftists to communicate with limited government plebs "by using language that anyone can understand even if you majored in semiotics at Yale." Civil rights and government powerWolf wrote of a plan to subvert constitutional protections, naming John Yoo.[6] Sexual and gender issues
She wrote that Andrea Dworkin was right to warn about pornography being a danger, but incorrect about the outcome: "But the effect is not making men into raving beasts. On the contrary: The onslaught of porn is responsible for deadening male libido in relation to real women, and leading men to see fewer and fewer women as “porn-worthy." [7] Education
