Product Description
Product Description
The #1 "New York Times "bestseller that gives you the right answers when idiots leave you speechless!
It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot* informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.
"Just go away! "you think to yourself--but they only get more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. But never fear, for Glenn Beck has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths and small minds: knowing the facts.
And this book is full of them.
The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they insist that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time you hear how produce prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll have the perfect rebuttal (from page 139). Armed with the ultimate weapon--the truth--you can now tolerate (and who knows, maybe even "enjoy?") your encounters with idiots everywhere!
*Idiots can't be identified through voting records; look instead for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense.

I would advise people to read the book carefully (or to return to it after they have read it) - because one can read the work quickly (getting both pleasure and use from it), but miss important things that are tucked away.
Glenn Beck has evolved over the years - he now understands the libertarian case that many Republican politicians (especially in the leadership of the Republican party) are useless (or worse) in combatting the drift to ever bigger government in the United States. What matters is limiting government (not talking about limited government whilst expanding government - as with George Walker Bush), if socialists (indeed Marxists) such as Barack Obama are to be defeated then it will have to be done by people actually having principles (not just pretending to have them). If a Republican really does have limited government principles then good - if not they are useless (indeed worse than useless) and "if you do not vote for the monster the monster will get in" is a dead end (the "lesser evil" just paves the way for the greater evil - as Bush paved the way for Obama). Over the last few years Glenn Beck has come to understand this ("about time" would say some of us libertarians), and now he is sharing what he has found out with anyone prepared to read and think.
