| "If you believe it's time to put principles above parties, character above campaign promises, and Common Sense above all -- then I ask you to read this book...." In any era, great Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense solutions to the nation's problems. One such American, Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America's future -- and, ultimately, her freedom. Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine's powerful treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government's easy solutions, two-part monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country. |
Annotation:
Conservative comedian and popular radio pundit Glenn Beck uses a contemporary analysis of COMMON SENSE, Thomas Paine's seminal pamphlet of patriotic principles, to try to inspire American citizens to reclaim control of their dysfunctional government. Beck sees many similarities between the domineering English monarchy which Paine rallied against and the current two-party governmental system of the United States, and he believes that the same inherent rights and freedoms put forth by Paine may be called upon once again to motivate Americans to take an active role in forging real political change.
