Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government (Hardcover)

FUNNY. 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.

WE DID IT!

WE DID IT! By a 53-47 margin, voters in Maine won a decisive and historic victory for marriage by passing Question 1! But each and everyone of you, who volunteered or donated to Stand for Marriage Maine, who forwarded an e-mail to a friend or neighbor, or who simply prayed fervently for the institution of marriage–today is your victory! The importance of the win in Maine nationally can not be overstated. Same-sex marriage activists saw Maine as their best chance to win a direct marriage vote. They thought it would stop the momentum we gained by passing Proposition 8 dead in its tracks–and reverse it.
