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. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Terrific Read This book should be on the required reading list for public education. It's an easy read and absolutely wonderfully put together. Rating: - GREAT READ - GREAT VALUE The first half of the book is Beck's case, the second is re-printing of Thomas Paine's Common Sense (1776). Beck brings Paine's words alive and into the 21st century. The book was deliberately written to be an easy, quick read. In plain language, he presents facts of how America has drifted from the principles of our Founding Fathers. He also offers solutions to apply Paine's values again to keep America free of cumbersome governmental control over individual's lives. Well done. Rating: - must have literature This is a great book with very good insights on the values this country needs to return to Rating: - The truth's and glenn beck I am thankful for people such as Glenn Beck who will take a stand and tell "the other side of the story" - giving us the opportunity to see for ourselves where the actual truth's lie. and where the lies, lie. I encourage others to read his books - for good, common-sense reading. Rating: - Common Sense Common Sense is a very timely book which high lights so much of what is wrong with our government. Our founding fathers gave us a perfect blue print for our nation's government, based on freedom, liberty, and a limited Federal government. This book is a modern-day version of Thomas Paine's book, which inspired so many to fight the revolutionary war. Kudos to Glenn Beck on a excellent book, with an easy to read format. see more
