Glenn Beck's common sense is a book that should be read by everyone that feels the United States is going down a path of destruction.
Great book, and I've actually read it! October 26, 2009

This is a great, short book. And, I've actually read it. Funny how obvious it is that those 1-star ratings are mostly from people who have not even read the book. Anyway, the book is a very fast read. It is not particularly scholarly, but I don't believe it was meant to be. Beck is merely explaining his point of view on the subject matter - common sense. I enjoyed his examples of where common sense is strikingly missing. Watching the news for any length of time will even demonstrate how common sense is lacking in many government institutions - for example, how Pres Obama is telling every drug dealer around that medical marijuana cases will not be prosecuted, kind of like taking a neighborhood and saying the police will not be patrolling because of a meeting (some things are better left unsaid). Whether or not you agree with Pres's stand, he did show a lack of common sense in announcing it to the world.

Common Sense - a good name when Tom Paine used it; a good name when used by Mr Beck. And a good name when Mr Chesterton professed it...uncommon though it may be. The herd, or the hive, is quite devoid of the commodity. Mr Paine was not; Mr Chesterton was not; Mr Beck is not. Read it. All of it. Twice.

This book is a great reference and insight into the most important issues of the day. Learn the truth about what's going on, and what's more important than that, learn WHY it's going on (not the reasons you hear on sound bites from the news or on bumper stickers - the REAL reasons and motives).
This book is similar to another of my favorites, "Liberty and Tyranny" from Mark Levin Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto. If you like one, you'll like the other. One other thing: included at the end of this book, Beck includes a copy of his inspiration for this book, Thomas Paine's original "Common Sense", as well as information about Beck's 9/12 Project.

Common Sense is a very timely book which high lights so much of what is wrong with our government. Our founding fathers gave us a perfect blue print for our nation's government, based on freedom, liberty, and a limited Federal government. This book is a modern-day version of Thomas Paine's book, which inspired so many to fight the revolutionary war. Kudos to Glenn Beck on a excellent book, with an easy to read format.
