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.
