Regardless of your political Party, Glenn Beck makes a lot of sense if you can remain open to actual input from a guy I now feel has gotten bad press. Great Read!!!

I read Beck's "Common Sense" and realized that what he advertises as "common sense" is emotionalism devoid of any substantive historical reference. His is a corruption of reality -- an appeal to others whose knowledge suffers as much as his. Beck obviously never studied Thomas Paine, the very anti-Christian founder whose name he stole for self-aggrandizement.
A great historian wrote, half a century ago, that anti-intellectuals(like Beck) can never understand that better-educated people arrive at different conclusions than "common sense" people, because they have more information. Beck is gimmick-appeal. Like so many demagogues before him, he relegates those with substantive educations to "book-larnin," "uhleetist," "ivry tire," google-eyed bookworms. Beck and his ilk represent a far greater threat to this republic than any religious or political zealots anywhere in the world.
Knowledge is found quietly on a long and winding road that Beck has never traveled.

I've developed an appreciation for Glenn Beck's view of government, his respect for the role of our founding fathers, and his challenge to citizens to become responsibly involved. Consequently, I sought this book. I haven't been disappointed.

How ironic that the so-called intellectual elite of this nation fail to see the reality of the failure of liberal policies .

A logic-driven, step-by-step discussion on various political issues. Because of this book I have become a fan of Glenn Beck's position on many government issues.
It's great to read something that voers such a braod range of topics, yet contains almost no fallacies of logical argument whatsoever (e.g. ad nauseum, ad populum, hasty induction, etc). Despite what the opposition would have you believe about Glenn Beck, he doesn't use emotional arguments to work through a debate.
