Rating: Summary: Bush Apologist Review: The sad truth is that the Conservative "movement" in America is a loose conglomeration of radicals who would prefer to conform to corporate whims than to thoughtfully redefine America's place in the world. I've read Glenn Beck's work and can say that he is a funny man, certainly capable of making a compelling argument. That's why it's sad he sinks to the level of demagogue in 'The Real America.' Did Glenn really need to waste so much paper when the message of the book can be boiled down to "Republicans good, Liberals bad"? If anything, the book is proof that liberals are winning the cultural wars, and that conservatives are increasingly viewed as mealy mouthed ... capable only of bending over to big business.
Rating: Summary: Let's ALL Read This Book to Become REAL Americans Review: Great book. I just started reading it today, and I'm already on page 110. I can't put it down. I just keep shouting out, "Amen, Brother!", and can't wait to read what's next.I agree with Mr. Beck, that if we all agreed to become the Real Americans that are described in this book, America and the world would be a better place.
Rating: Summary: Liberal media? Hahahahahahahhaha...That was funny Review: Aside from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, CSPAN, CNBC & NPR and talk radio the conservative/fascist viewpoint has no place to be expressed.
Rating: Summary: Not very good Review: I bought this book thinking that it would be good because of some of the good reviews, but, I was wrong and so were the reviews. This book is a juvenile attempt to sugarcoat reality. As a 38 year old woman, I wanted something that would offer a more realistic, smarter and more rational perspective of the the problems that ail our country. Sadly, this book is written for 6th graders who should not have to deal with the difficult issues that face us all as adults.
Rating: Summary: A fusion of idiocy and stupidity Review: The mindless and loony right have found their new God after the hypocritical drug addict, Rush Limbaugh, is revealed as the loser that we all knew he was. In time, Glenn beck will suffer a similar fate because at the core, all Republicans are filthy thugs.
Rating: Summary: the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment Review: Beck takes us on a journey into the America that we all want, but are too scared or lazy to fight for. This book does not push partisan politics, as shown by his chapter on partisan politics. Beck is refreshingly honest about everthing in this book. The views he presents are the views that the average American has. They are the same views that most Americans feel alone in having. Lots of people will read this book and say, "I have known/thought this for years, why didn't I write this book?" Did I mention that the book is hillarious. This book is a very quick and informative read. Highly suggested.
Rating: Summary: Beer Fart Review: This book is the equivalent to a beer fart. It smells of fascism and racism. This guy sympathizes with Hitler and Italy.
Rating: Summary: Fantasyland Review: Children and adults who still believe in the Easter Bunny should enjoy this ride into infant reality. This book is a manifestation of a former alcholic who has exchanged the beer-induced view of the world for a drunken misperception of America. Incredibly naive and intellectualy inconsistent, this book is a propaganda tool for the pseudo-patriotic right-wing hustlers that dominate radio and televsion today. In the words of my two year old son, "this book sucks."
Rating: Summary: Totally laughable Review: Glenn Beck is an idiot man child. He obviously hasn't reached puberty yet and this book is a orgasm of childish expression
Rating: Summary: A junkie's tale Review: Glenn Beck is a junkie just like his hero Rush Limbaugh. Only redeeming quality that Glenn has is that he knows that he's a right-wing cheerleader. This book is a junkie's manifesto. A simpleton's view on life. Instead of writing...Beck should have put more pics of his fine wife in the book. Other than that...the book was great. Syke!
