Unfortunately most reviews for these political books are written by cheerleaders (5 stars)
or by haters (1 star). I actually read and enjoyed the book. I certainly don't agree with many of Beck's assertions, but he raises many valid points. If Beck had included footnotes and proper citations, I may have given the book four stars. Though written in an accessable (i.e. simplistic) fashion and preaching somewhat to the choir, the book is an eye opener even while sometimes being infuriating --Can anyone besides Glen Beck actually be angry that Teddy Roosevelt reigned in the robber barons and established the national park system? The best section was on the fiscal irresponsibility of both parties and the unsustainability of our insane deficit spending and underfunded entitlement programs. Nothing really new or revolutionary, just well presented. By the way, you idiot leftists that trash conservative literature without even glancing at the book with the sole purpose of lowering the rating should be ashamed of your purile behavior. You are lowering the value of these reviews by encouraging rightwing zealots to only post 5star ratings to compensate. My advice is for you to get a life!

Glenn Beck's new book is fantastic and very entertaining. It discusses the beliefs of our founding fathers with emphasis on Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" in dealing with the many issues we are facing in this country today. Ultimately we are going to need more common sense in our society if we are to solve problems and continue as a great nation.

As the title states, Glenn Beck asks the readers questions purely based on logic and common sense. Whether you are liberal, conservative, libertarian, or independent, this book raises issues that everyone should be discussing. Recommended read for everyone.

Mr. Beck certainly makes his case against the out-of-control back scratchers in Washington. If only Common Sense was more "Common" among the lawmakers. I really appreciated his inclusion of Mr Paine's original pamphlet "Common Sense".
By David E. Kneeland (Arvada, Colorado United States)
This book is a MUST read for every person on this planet, not just Americans. I think everyone should have the chance to read and then decide for themselves; do we really need such a large group of public servants interfering with every aspect of our lives? Why doesn't government just get out of our way and allow the free markets to evolve naturally and either become successful, for the good of all of us, or fail on their own. People have lost sight of how this greatest of all countries was born and this book will help to educate and remind us all of our true heritage. We all have the potential to become the very best we can be and to continue to enable this wonderful country to be the very best in the world, but not with the current government infested with the self serving and corrupt politicians that have decided for everyone else that we need "change" to socialism. That leads to misery and destruction of our hard earned freedom and liberty that was won by the blood and sweat of people with true unselfish character who valued freedom more than their own lives and wealth.
