Buy Cheap Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine 
Buy Low Price From Here Now "If you believe it's time to put principles above parties, character above campaign promises, and Common Sense above all -- then I ask you to read this book...."In any era, great Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense solutions to the nation's problems.
One such American, Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America's future -- and, ultimately, her freedom.
Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine's powerful treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government's easy solutions, two-part monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country.

"A connect-the-dots manual for the troubled masses." 2009-07-27
By P. Winteregg (New Mexico)
Beck's "Common Sense" is a great read, especially for anyone who finds themselves instinctively believing that the country is on the wrong track, but not quite exactly sure why. From his opening thoughts to the end, Beck does an excellent job of pinpointing the problems currently facing our country, and gives good thought for how we need to fix them. For anyone trying to get a handle on the madness currently swirling around us, this is a must read.
A terrific bonus is the original "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine. As he uses the beautiful prose of days gone by, it is a bit slower read, but this is a path of discovery we all should take. It is truly amazing how much of Paine's observations from more than 200 years ago are still so very contemporary to our own times.
Essentially two books for the price of one--and a very reasonable price at that!
"Huh?!" 2009-07-27
By E. Taylor (San Francisco, CA)
This book was given to me by a friend (I didn't buy it). OK, I say, I'll give Glenn Beck the benefit of the doubt. After reading the first few pages, it's ... what is this guy talking about??! Just like his TV show, I just cannot make sense of what this idiot is saying! Needless to say, I didn't (couldn't) finish this book. What a waste of time. Pure nonsense.
"Tom Paine is spinning in his grave" 2009-07-27
By Robert Roser (Stafford, VA USA)
Tom Paine was a very left wing political activist with a strong sense of social justice. Glen Beck doesn't have an ounce of common sense in him. Beck wouldn't know a socialist from a Presbyterian.
"Glenn Beck is clearly a profound lunatic" 2009-07-27
By Concerned Citizen (Michigan)
I fail to understand how any person who possesses intelligence
would give a minute's time to this character who is a raving
maniac....in particular, on his tlevision show. He should
truly be banned from both radio and television, as he clearly
incites the madmen of our country to do....I shudder to even
think about! Why, I ask, does our FBI not step in to rein in
these lunatics, who are by far an away, as scary, if not scarier
than terrorists abroad? It baffles the mind!
"The cannons are blasting" 2009-07-26
By C. Croft (Norfolk, Virginia)
I read Common sense and was delighted at Becks very methodical slow dissemination of the federal government. It is sobering to realize just how expansive and out of control our governemnt is now. At one point in our nations history, states had more rights and actual power than the feds did...the FEDS were subservient to the STATES. Sobering thought indeed. Government can not help but grow, and progressives are usually the real culprit at work. Becks stance is that most of them feel what they are doing is right, but in doing so we are slowly continuting the march towards socialism. He lays out some very basic things that would indeed help this country. The first, and probably easiest to implement, is term limits. No more career politicians.
I think a majority of Americans have become very disillusioned with both political parties, and Beck is all too aware of this. Most conservatives see the lies and vices that their party has, but they figure that Republicans are the lesser of two evils. Becks approach is that both parties will eventually lead to the same place, which is absolute tyranny by the majority or socialism. Seeing todays state of affairs it is hard to call him a liar.
The only reason this review gets 4 stars and not 5 is because there is no real sense of urgency with this book. Which is very unlike Beck if you are familiar with his approach to government.
