This book is divided up into several sections, but the best is Beck's demolition of the idea of global warming. Gore's pathetic and lame collection of 'facts' is so skewed to the left that it almost ends up on the right. I would prefer a little bit of histrionics by Beck than have to listen to a robotic monotone by Gore. He is a little bit sexist, particularly about how to score with your wife by watching some dreary English 'bonnet movie' with her, but aren't all of us a little bit that way? I liked his sharing of his past history and admire him (and Tanya) for his accomplishments. I found the whole book interesting and have listened to it on CD as well. I had to get both versions to review it on my radio network and gladly paid for them myself. Glen Beck has made me a watcher of CNN, something that I had quit some time back because of the liberal bias. Liberals, tree huggers, anarchists and Gorebots will not like the book, but that is their loss. I like to listen to the CD version when I am eating my supper of caribou steaks garnished with breast of spotted owl. John Edwards and his monstrous home bought with ambulance chasing are covered in a hilarious way. If you have brains you will enjoy the book. If you don't (can you say liberal?) you will hate it. Either way Beck doesn't bore us.

Regarding CO2 and Natural Disasters
Re: 'the truth' that as CO2 has increased, deaths from extreme weather have decreased... as quoted in the book Synopsis Beck assumes a correlation without providing any evidence to prove this statement, merely suggesting that two facts disprove a theory (i.e. CO2 increases from pollution are responsible for more intense weather). Beck's statements completely - and conveniently - ignore any number of other factors that are more likely to relate to a decrease in deaths from violent weather. The increased power and accuracy of meteorological equipment that monitors and predicts violent weather stricter safety standards for vehicles making them better able to withstand the elements - even a decrease in the number of people whose occupations require them to work on the ocean due to increased industrialization and mechanization - ALL of these factors have more relevance to the decrease in violent weather deaths than Beck's idea that air pollution is making us safer.

Great if you like him
If you like Glenn Beck, then you will like this book. If you don't like him, then why are you even looking. The negative reviews are written by liberals who probably haven't even seen the book, let alone read it. No, this is not a work of intellectual genius, but who would want to read that anyway? It is a good book written as he thinks. Libs will hate it, but then they hate anything that differs from their ideology.

Great Book!
I read this book in a week for about an hour or so a day. I am a big fan of Glenn Beck, and this book didn't disappoint. I recommend this book to anyone who is curious how this world is changing overnight, and what signs you can observe to prevent yourself from being a victim of the changes occuring. This book also mixes fact with humor in a very efficient way, keeping yourself entertained as well as educated.

Every single 1-star rating written by bigoted communists!
This was an amazing book, and the funniest book touching on politics and the problems we Americans face...ever. One-star reviewers make it abundantly clear they never even bothered to buy the book, much less read it, so please ignore their incoherent hate speech.

Should be on 'Must Read' list at all U.S.Colleges
I highly recommend getting the audio book. You get the benefit of his 'wisdom' combined with his verbal 'attitude'. This audio book should be a mandatory read for all college students. I was a college student once myself, then I got a job, grew up and converted to a conservative.

Tired of 'liberal bias'
The problem is the lack of empirical research - just opinions. Please have some class and don't throw all liberals under the bus. To call those of us who are liberals as uneducated is insulting and rude. I am well educated - and I look at both sides. That is what I see as being balanced. I refrain from name calling I just don't agree with conservative views.

The truth shall set you free!
Obama progressive socialism is the greatest threat to the future of the United States. Glenn supports his arguments with facts that the left has yet to debate him on. What are they afraid of? The truth. Glenn has issued the challenge: let's debate and then set a true course for American that will make us the greatest nation in the world. Mind expanding coverage of today's biggest issues; a must read.

Glenn Beck rocks!
I really enjoy this guy. Political and economic commentary can be so dry and depressing, but not with Glenn. Entertaining and informative at the same time.

I am a conservative and I have to say: this book made me laugh, cry and become outraged all at the same time. You can't ask for much more than that these days.
It will enlighten you not only in comparisons of today and yesterday; but it will amaze you with some of the lesser known things that happen in Washington. I believe liberals as well as conservatives will enjoy reading this book. I have passed it on to two others (one conservative and one liberal) and they both enjoyed it!

Glenn Beck at his best
Glenn's humor and honesty come forth in this book tackling so many of today's hot button issues. There will be people who hate the book, but open-minded people will find information in it which will make them think about things. Those who are intellectually honest with themselves will find plenty with which to agree.

Wow
What should be on every college list is Carl Sagan's 'The Demon Haunted World' 'or practically anything else by him'. Glenn Beck? Absolutely not. Exactly at what point did we start taking the word of a political pundit? This book is filled with opinions and little fact. Global warming? He offers not a single peer review to support this. Seriously, all kidding aside, just one would do. A few chosen facts mixed with rubbish does not a truth make. I can't help but notice how a lot of reviewers throw in the word 'liberal' like that's some kind of an argument that solidifies their case. It's those people this book is for.

Gets you hooked
I went into reading this book a liberal leaning Independent searching for some humor and reason from a very funny man. I come out of it with much more than I hoped for. Not only did I find reason -something that had been severely lacking from everyone I listened to besides Lou Dobbs- in nearly all of Glenn's points, I laughed my bum off while doing so! I also come back from reading this book with a much more conservative outlook on most points. I liked the idealism of most of my standpoints before but I realized that not all of them were practical -nearly all were liberal-. After reading this book I have found many new, much more practical platforms to base my beliefs upon. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for practicality -not political advancement- in today's government. Including my far leftist friends.
