Beck isn’t right about everything, but one thing he does that most people who like to pontificate don’t is he challenges people to read it for themselves. Hence books he talks about that were seemingly going nowhere end up on Amazon’s top 10 list and have to be back ordered.

It takes a lot of courage to do what he does because there’s always people looking for one mistake who will try to nail him to the wall with it. I’ve got to hand it to him for trying to wake people up and at least raise the question about whether America was intended to a bastion of socialism when it could mean losing his career. Helen Thomas showed us that one false move, one moment of carelessness can end it and it’s really no different for him.

Yes, but that point ‘read it for yourself’ should be a tenet that we all adopt for all aspects of our lives. Taking others opinions on as our own without investigation often proves painful and embarrassing.
