Glenn Beck's Common Sense

Simple, and easy to read...get it and pass it along

The run this book has already had on the bestseller lists speaks for itself, but we think it is never too late to add to the voices that urge you to get your own copy (and copies for several friends, including friends who may believe themselves to be of a different political orientation than you).

The pros and cons of America’s prevailing two-party political system can and will be debated ad nauseum, but one clear ‘con’ is the sense of division and distrust it foments among people who actually share a powerful common decency, respect for truth, and love for America. We think this is the chord Glenn Beck has struck in his “Common Sense”.

Elements of the extreme left and extreme right seem to control most of the headlines and soundbites of media coverage, in what is seen, at least by them, as the grand battle to move the enormous ‘center’ a few steps to the left or the right. But as Ronald Reagan once pointed out, the question really isn’t left or right, but up or down—‘up’ being the direction of humanity when it recognizes, honors and seeks to live by the timeless truths of America’s Declaration of Independence, and ‘down’ when it succumbs to the nefarious and even diabolical arguments to deny or shun those truths in favor of a godless, controlling, elitist way of thinking that in human society manifests itself in various forms of tyrannical, authoritarian, and totalitarian government. Humanity inherently is drawn to the ‘up’ side of this battle.

“Common Sense” helps tremendously to cut through the false dichotomy of left-right debate to the real struggle for up or down. As such, it is an extremely valuable resource for America at a great time of need. It will resonate with Americans throughout the nation, and at least partially dissolve party labels as readers soak up the common sense intuitions that the vast majority of them share.

Buy a copy of “Common Sense”; read it; pass it along. Take the 9/12 pledge. And get busy doing your part to save America, preserve the cause of human freedom, and propel humanity up, not down.
