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. 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.
