Arguing with Idiots

by Glenn Beck

First published 2009

Glenn Beck tackles the frustrating experience of facing opponents who rely on slogans instead of substance. When liberals claim guns cause violence, Beck points to England's handgun ban failure. When they praise British healthcare, he presents disturbing statistics about that system's problems. When they warn that eliminating illegal workers will spike food costs, Beck shows the real increase amounts to just eight dollars annually per household. The book targets people who substitute bumper sticker wisdom for genuine understanding, regardless of their voting patterns. Beck provides readers with concrete data to counter common progressive arguments on topics ranging from gun policy to immigration economics. The goal is simple: replace weak responses with factual ammunition that silences ideological opponents through truth rather than rhetoric.
