Product Description
FUNNY.
FRIGHTENING.
TRUE.
It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.
Just go away! you think to yourself -- but they only become more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. You can't get away. Your only hope is...
...this book.
Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense, has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts.
And this book is full of them.
The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they tell you that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time an idiot tells you that vegetable prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll stop saying "no, they won't" and you'll start saying, "actually, eliminating all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year more on produce." (See page 139.)
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. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth.

Manual For Americans
By Buckeye75

March 21, 2010
Read Mar 2010: I loved this book. It touches on so many topics about what is going on in today's government and political scene. Way too much information to put here. If you love the principles this nation was founded on and you aren't some left wing hippie tree hugger, this book is for you. If you are a doubting left winger you will find every single page is referenced in the Index on where you can find the information hundreds of citations. Definitely will help you educate your nanny state neighbor who drives a Prius, thinks global warming is real and that it is okay to take from those who do and give to those who don't. Be careful though, he spells it out pretty clear, no favorites (Left or Right). Be ready for the ride and a serious look into what decisions the government makes and how they actually do affect YOU and your kids....yes your kids.

Glenn has outdone himself in this book. Hard to follow but once you get the drift, he is speaking from his soul and heart about a country he loves very much.
Thank you Glen Beck

Glen, in light of this glowing endorsement of the Bush Presidency, could you do us all a favor and write an equally strong and positive tome on the merits of the 1000 Year Third Reich? Most Americans are too young to remember the glory years of 1933-1945 and how the Fuhrer foretold of the great struggle that lay ahead in his book, "My Struggle." You do all of us Americans proud at Fox News.
Interesting Points!

The layout of the book is what I really enjoyed. The mix of graphics, pictures, and text kept it all interesting and made "facts" reasonably easy to find. Many of the "hot button" topics of today are covered and you can easily check Beck's sources if you care to verify his positions. I like the way Beck gets under the skin of those who disagree with him. Who out there can truthfully argue that most voters today have very small minds? Does any sane American really believe that our government is not too big? Look at some of the clowns that are being voted into office. Today, we have an affirmative action President who believes there are more than 50 states in the USA. We have a Vice-president who can't keep his mouth shut on matters of security. We have representatives who I would not trust with my loose change and some of my fellow citizens want me to trust them with my health care decisions. Because we have those types of idiots, we need Glenn Beck's type of book. It's worth the read and it's worth keeping on your book shelf and not reselling.

As usual, Glen Beck has written a book with documented, history related, information to help refute the mistruths that are being broadcasted by the current progressive movement in our government. It's a must read. He has made millions of us aware of the dangers to our Constitution, Freedom, and American way of life. Thank God someone has had the courage to speak out - thank you Glen Beck.
