Arguing with Idiots – How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government

Author: Glenn Beck
‘Arguing with Idiots’ Review:
This title is even some funny, but the frightening thing is that it is true. It may happens to all of us, Idiots can’t be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. get Arguing with Idiotsget the book, and read it,  it is worthwhile.

‘Arguing with Idiots’ summary:
The book is divided into ten chapters, each one covering a single topic, and there are questions which are responded to by Beck’s character. In addition, there are also little side comments, sometimes called "A.D.D. Moments" and sometimes direct quotes by people Beck doesn’t agree with, said quotes putting those people in the worst possilbe light.

Love him or hate him (there appears to be no middle ground) Beck wirtes cogently (if often humorously) and well. He states his point of view on one subject and then moves on to another. Beck claims that he is a Libertarian rather than either a Democrat or a Rebublican, but I’m sure liberal readers (if there are any who actually finish this book) will be coinvinced that Beck is just another member of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" to quote Hillary Clinton at the beginning of the Monica fiasco. I don’t know what he is, because he takes almost as many shots at the GOP as he does at the Dems, so I’ll take him at his word about his party leanings.

Beck is conservative in the sense that he opposes "big government" and what he calls the "Nanny State", which is one that hovers over just about every aspect of American life. He fears that we are going into that situation, and there are enough signs around (for those who want to recognise them) that he might (just might) be correct. I’m a big believer in the policy of "wait and see" so I don’t make any judgments on his theories and opinions.

His section on Capitalism is quite interesting. Some of the Koolaid drinkers at both ends of the bar should be able to learn from the book’s history even though both camps can find fault with Beck’s "facts" and certainly his opinions. read ‘Arguing with Idiots’. it is a funny story.
