Common Sense - Glenn Beck

I know many people do not like Glenn Beck. They accuse him of being a partisan hack, using scare tactics and fear to forward an agenda. I disagree with those people. I respect the man and feel that he is honestly trying to warn people of a danger to our country that is coming from the inside. People may view that as using fear, but I see it as a slap in the face, a wake-up call to a nation that has become complacent and not willing to do the hard things it takes to better themselves, their country and their fellow man. Glenn is one of the first to criticize both the Republicans and Democrats when he sees that their policies are not in line with the founding fathers. If people take an honest look at the two parties today, they'll see not much difference between the two.

Now enough of the politics and on to the book. This is a short book that packs a lot of information into it's limited pages. This is something that a person can read quickly to get a general overview of what Beck is warning us of, but it is up to the reader to investigate further. Do not come into this book expecting to see solutions to the problems he sees (other than to use your common sense when thinking about things), but read this book with an eye to taking a view to what the gov't is doing and then see if common sense prevails. Both sides of the aisle could stand to use a little bit more common sense and we the people should hold the gov't accountable and call them out when the do something that goes against common sense.
