I also hate appeals to common sense

I was going to do a detailed review on Glen Beck's Common Sense, but after I'd written several paragraphs of it I noticed that it could be summed it in one paragraph. I'll be doing that instead. (For more details on Beck's book, see my previous post.)

Glen Beck constantly and fallaciously appeals to common sense, the "Laws of Nature", which he never even attempts to define or explain, and an imaginary majority of Americans who he thinks agree with him, despite not showing any evidence of this. As might be expected when not providing any backing for his opinions besides saying "common sense supports this", Beck contradicts himself many times, making it very transparent that he's either a complete and utter moron, or writing this as a propaganda job to get people to support his brand of conservative politics, against their own self-interest (or both). He hypocritically criticizes those he disagrees with for using methods he then turns around and uses himself. The only use I can see for this book is as a sort of idiot test: if someone says they liked it and agree with it, they are an idiot.
