Having just finished the book late last night (one of those page turners that has you burning the midnight oil – or, if you were a kid – one that would have you in your blanket cave, flashlight in hand…), I am recommending it.

If you haven’t read it – get it. 

Glenn Beck’s Common Sense

Including the following chapters:

The Reshaping and Redefining of America

Money:  The Real Opiate of the Masses

The Political Weapon of Choice:  The US Tax Code

The Perks and Privileges of the Political Class

The Cancer of Progressivism

Is It a Rising or a Setting Sun?

One excerpt from the book:  p104

One day we will face our children and grandchildren as they ask us what we found more important and valuable than freedom.  They will ask if our big, unaffordable homes, “free” universal healthcare, and “buy it now” lifestyle were worth enslaving them for.

How will you answer?

Just as we look back with pride and awe at what the generations before us did to preserve the cause of freedom, our children and grandchildren will look back at us.  But should we now fail, it won’t be with pride or awe, it will be with disgust.  As they toil under oppressive taxes and tyrannical rule, they will continually question what we were so busy doing that we did not notice the stripping away of our freedoms and liberties.  As they are forced to carry the yoke of servitude imposed by their domestic and foreign masters they will question why we did nothing.  Did you not see it coming? they’ll wonder.

The choice is ours:  Do we continue to lie to ourselves now or tell our children lies later?
