 Required reading in my opinion November 1, 2009

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.

An excellent and well thought-out book about the idiocy in gov't. Reads quickly and gets you infuriated with progressives right away. It is a challenge to Americans to restore our gov't to its original principles, to stand on our two feet and get rid of handouts, and to feel pride in our Country again.
Wake up, Everybody, and read this book!

I thought I'd contribute my second Amazon review for a book that helped solidify what I have long known ... that our government is out of control, out of touch with the American citizen and only has as it's only interest, it's own propagation.
Republican, Democrat, and yes, Bernie, even our one admitted Socialist, is completely out of touch with not only the people they are charged to represent but with the very documents containing the blue-print, the directions, the plan for success in our Representative Republic.
As Beck calls attention to, most of our "representatives" seem to only represent themselves and those who can assure their return to feed at the public teat.
As one who was never for term limits before reading this book, am now firmly in favor of them as long as the amount of time spent as a "public servant" is limited for all in Washington, DC, including the bureaucrats who have life-time jobs once they pass the civil service test.
That Beck included the original Common Sense by Thomas Paine is a nice touch for I fear that few, even those who may have purchased Beck's book, have read one of the greatest documents ever written about the God given, natural freedom of all men.
Mr. Beck's book is one of awakening. A book that should the eyes of all who read it except those ideologs who can not think beyond the end of their political noses. Those who filter what Mr. Beck says and writes through the likes of Media Matters, the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post, will hate this book, and rightfully so for it, were to ever read and understand the book, the political ground they stand on would crumble.

This is a fairly "political party neutral" view of the US Government taking control over the last 80 years. I found this book thought provoking. Especially, chapter 2; "Money: The Real Opiate of the masses"
