Beck Sends Freeper LS to #1 on Amazon

Glenn Beck Show/Amazon ^ | 2/8/2010 | LS

[LS]

Truly amazing: the power of Glenn Beck. He mentioned A Patriot's History of the U.S. today on his radio show, then again on the TV show, and lo and behold, #1.

Big stuff happening. Can't tell all yet, but watch our web pages, www.patriotshistoryusa.com and www.rockinthewall.com.

Oh, and if anyone knows how to do a screen saver, I'd like to bronze this one.

[The Shrew]

Wow, that is some raw power that Beck wields! I've sold over 26,000 books, with no mention (yet) by a national talk host.

Yea, but you're a Navy SEAL and he's just pudge boy.

However, for us mere mortals we would really appreciate Mr. Beck taking notice of a book that validates the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and maybe helps bring Senator Kerry's career to an end and not just a standstill.

Regards,

TS

I remember Hannity saying that they received 100s of unsolicited books A DAY, and that they all went into a dumpster unopened.

There are about ten layers of lackeys between a Beck, Limbaugh or Hannity and their mail. That’s how I try to explain such lapses and oversights.

Naw, they just told Sean that so he wouldn't feel guilty about having written more books than he has read ;-)

Missed this one - congratulations, and a BTT.

[Elle Bee]

that's great he seems like a really good guy

I have the book but I haven't gotten through it yet

It will open your eyes even further

[Travis McGee]

He wrote them? I thought he said he dictated his ideas into a recorder while commuting home in his free Escalade. Seriously.

Then a real writer made them into books.

[TChris]

Well done, sir!

[ex 98C MI Dude]

I am pleased to say that I helped enrich you slightly and bump your book up the ratings last night. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

[Travis McGee]

Patriot’s History is still #1 a day later, so it has some traction!

I've learned a new appreciation of the anti-Wilson - Calvin Coolidge

The political genius of President Coolidge, Walter Lippmann pointed out in 1926, was his talent for effectively doing nothing: "This active inactivity suits the mood and certain of the needs of the country admirably. It suits all the business interests which want to be let alone.... And it suits all those who have become convinced that government in this country has become dangerously complicated and top-heavy...."

During Coolidge's presidency the United States experienced the period of rapid economic growth known as the "Roaring Twenties." He left the administration's industrial policy in the hands of his Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover. Coolidge and Hoover agreed in their belief that government should be largely absent from the business world. With the exception of favoring increased tariffs, Coolidge disdained regulation, and carried about this belief by appointing commissioners to the Federal Trade Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission who did little to restrict the activities of businesses under their jurisdiction. The regulatory state under Coolidge was, as one biographer described it, "thin to the point of invisibility."

Coolidge's taxation policy, and that of his Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, was that taxes should be lower and that fewer people should have to pay them. Congress agreed, and the tax burden on Americans was reduced in Coolidge's term. In addition to these tax cuts, Coolidge proposed reductions in federal expenditures and retiring some of the federal debt. Coolidge's ideas were shared by the Republicans in Congress, and in 1924 Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1924, which reduced income tax rates and eliminated all income taxation for some two million people. They reduced taxes again by passing the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1928, all the while continuing to keep spending down so as to reduce the overall federal debt. By 1927, only the richest 2% of taxpayers paid any income tax. Although federal spending remained flat during Coolidge's administration, allowing one-fourth of the federal debt to be retired, state and local governments saw considerable growth, surpassing the federal budget in 1927.

Coolidge had been lukewarm on the choice of Hoover as his successor; on one occasion he remarked that "for six years that man has given me unsolicited advice—all of it bad." Even so, Coolidge had no desire to split the party by publicly opposing the popular Commerce Secretary's nomination. The delegates did consider nominating Vice President Charles Dawes to be Hoover's running mate, but the convention selected Senator Charles Curtis instead.

Yeah, I'm sure that's the case. I don't know how these guys read all they do.

Course, the king of reading is Paul Johnson. That guy has read more books than I'll ever write :)

[reagan_fanatic]

Congrats to ya!!

[LS]

It’s been in the top 100 for 8 days now, ever since I was on Glenn’s show.

[LS]

I rank Coolidge #4 among the great presidents behind GW, Lincoln, and Reagan. Cleveland is #5.

[Elle Bee]

I didn't realize it was you ... Author ... Author

I can't say I had known much about C.C. before begining your book

Your body of work is eyeopening and well done

Thank You for all of your good work

.

[LS]

Yeah, dat be me. Imagine what I could have written if I hadn’t spent five years as a rock drummer?

[Travis McGee]

I’d read even more, but my significant other wants my face out of books and keyboards a few minutes out of every 24 hours.

[Elle Bee]

but then you wouldn't be you ... never regret your experience ... it makes you who you are

.

[Osage Orange]

Dang it....

I just made an order with Amazon today....I would have ordered your book...if I would have known.

FRegards,
