Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government
FRIGHTENING.
TRUE.
It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.
Just go away! you think to yourself -- but they only become more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. You can't get away. Your only hope is...
...this book.
Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense, has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts.
And this book is full of them.
The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they tell you that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time an idiot tells you that vegetable prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll stop saying "no, they won't" and you'll start saying, "actually, eliminating all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year more on produce." (See page 139.)
Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth.

Amazing Book in Great Condition
Book came in perfect condition. I bought this book when it came out years ago and gifted it to someone, assuming I would buy myself another. Now, years later, I finally got it. This is such an easy read, full of facts and events from US history. I wish everyone would read this book! Great addition to the arsenal. I love Glenn Beck!
I would recommend the books and the seller.
Still reading the book but it’s entertaining like all Glenn Beck books. About the seller-I received the book quicker than expected and it arrived in great shape!
Fantastic read!!
Very well written book!! Boy I wish it wasn’t so accurate!!
Informative government events
Educational information of our government.
Not funny
Bunch of political trash with zero laughter , book went straight to the landfill, better known as trash can.
I’ll go to my local bookstore next time...
This book stinks. Literally. I’m going to have to let this book sit out a while and air out. Not sure if it’s from someone’s house or if it was kept in a dingy garage/warehouse. It was covered in dust and white hairs from I’m assuming must be a cat or dog. It’s also misshapen like there was something VERY heavy kept on top of it for a very long time.
Easy read, highly factual
I purchased this book used and honestly it’s been a pretty good and easy read. Say what you will about his views on politics (I fact check everything with 3rd party sources) but it’s still a great book and the formatting keeps my attention!
