Glenn Beck's secret formula for winning arguments against people with big mouths and small minds: knowing the facts -- and he's got them!
Arguing With Idiots
by Glenn Beck
The renowned television and radio host Glenn Beck has
made a momentous discovery. Beck, author of the #1 New York
Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's
Common Sense, has found the secret formula for how to win
arguments -- not just once or twice, but every time --
against people with big mouths but small minds. You know,
the type of people who are more loudmouthed and assertive
than ever in Barack Obama's America.
(continued from above)
It's simple: all you have to do is know the facts.
And in Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds
and Big Government, Beck gives you those facts. For
instance, here are the facts you need when you're minding
your own business and some liberal idiot with an Obama
bumper sticker on his car smugly tells you that guns are
evil and that gun control prevents gun violence. Armed with
Arguing with Idiots, you'll be able to tell him all about
England's disastrous and short-sighted handgun ban (see
page 53). Or when some aging gray-ponytailed hipster
praises Obama's attempt to socialize healthcare, you can
recount the horrifying facts about nationalized medicine
that you can find on page 244. And the next time a self-
righteous "meat is murder" vegetarian sounds the chicken-
little alarm about how vegetable prices will skyrocket
without illegal workers, you'll be able to say much more
than "No, they won't": you'll say: "Actually, eliminating
all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year
more on produce" (see page 139).
Beck also offers spirited and incisive defenses to
attacks on capitalism and the Second Amendment (as well as
the U.S. Constitution in general), while exploding common
liberal myths about education, America's energy future,
unions, illegal immigration, economics, universal health
care, and more. Arguing with Idiots is an all-purpose
primer for answering the addled Leftists who hide behind
clichés and stereotypes, and use bumper sticker slogans as
a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits
the bill – and we all do -- then Arguing with Idiots will
help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate
weapon: the truth.
