Glenn Beck’s Common Sense – A Must Read For Today’s Times… A Perfect Father’s Day Gift!

Glenn Beck's Common Sense

There was a time in America when politicians answered to the people. When spending money from the public treasury was considered a sacred duty to be done with reservation and care. $11,000,000,000,000 later we’re slowly realizing that we’re no longer the America we grew up in.

Common Sense, The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government is a roadmap on how we can restore America’s promise by returning to her roots. I explain why politicians no longer fear the people, how they have designed elections that all but ensure their own re-election, how they discourage honest people from seeking public office and how they routinely use an intentionally complex tax code to reward supporters, silence detractors and punish those who dare to speak the truth.

The political, social and academic elite would like you to believe that common sense is dead. They want to convince you that they are the only ones who know what’s best for the country. Most importantly, they want to convince you that you are alone in believing that government is out-of-control with its spending. Just look at what the media did to those who attended the “Tea Parties” if you need evidence.

In 1776, common sense was forced into hiding until one man, Thomas Paine, anonymously released a pamphlet that made the case for freedom and liberty. That pamphlet changed history.

Today we find common sense once again in hiding. It is my hope that this book, which outlines the need for a new revolution of ideas, will help usher it back out into the light so that we can begin to reclaim the country we love.

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.

The Director of Communications at the White House Office of Health Reform is Linda Douglass, who worked as a reporter for ABC News from 1998-2006.

Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS:

Dear Mr. Westin:

As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC's astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.

Today, the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party's views to those of the President's to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. I believe that the President should have the ability to speak directly to the America people. However, I find it outrageous that ABC would prohibit our Party's opposing thoughts and ideas from this national debate, which affects millions of ABC viewers.

In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime.

Respectfully,
Ken McKay
Republican National Committee
Chief of Staff

ABCNEWS Senior Vice President Kerry Smith on Tuesday responded to the RNC complaint, saying it contained 'false premises':

"ABCNEWS prides itself on covering all sides of important issues and asking direct questions of all newsmakers -- of all political persuasions -- even when others have taken a more partisan approach and even in the face of criticism from extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. ABCNEWS is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this issue.

"ABCNEWS alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president. Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control. To suggest otherwise is quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience."
