Summary:
FUNNY.OUTRAGEOUS.TRUE.Have you ever wondered why some of the biggest
problems we face, from illegal immigration to global warming to
poverty, never seem to get fixed? The reason is simple: the solutions
just aren't very convenient. Fortunately, radio and television host
Glenn Beck doesn't care much about convenience; he cares about common
sense.Take the issue of poverty, for example. Over the last forty
years, America's ten poorest cities all had one simple thing in
common, but self-serving politicians will never tell you what that is
(or explain how easy it would be to change): Glenn Beck will (see
chapter 20).Global warming is another issue that's ripe with lies and
distortion. How many times have you heard that carbon dioxide is
responsible for huge natural disasters that have killed millions of
people? The truth is, it's actually the other way around: as CO2 has
increased, deaths from extreme weather have decreased. Bet you'll
never see that in an Al Gore slide show.An Inconvenient Book contains
hundreds of these same "why have I never heard that before?" types of
facts that will leave you wondering how political correctness,
special interests, and outright stupidity have gotten us so far away
from the commonsense solutions this country was built on.As the host
of a nationally syndicated radio show, The Glenn Beck Program, and a
prime-time television show on CNN Headline News, Glenn Beck combines
a refreshing level of honesty with a biting sense of humor and a lot
of research to find solutions that will open your eyes while
entertaining you along the way.
