About this audiobook
Politics is no longer about pointing to a shining city on the hill; it’s about promising you a shiny new car for your driveway. The candidate who tells the people what they want to hear is usually the one who wins—no matter the truth.
Politicians may be sleazy and spineless, but they’re not stupid. They see that the way to win is by first telling people everything that is wrong with the world, and then painting a Utopian vision that they’ll create right here on earth, one where no one is ever sick or hungry, jobless, or homeless. All we have to do is surrender our freedom and someone else’s wallet and they’ll make it happen.
And so they continue to lie, and we continue to believe them, and they keep winning elections. The only way to break the cycle is to understand why Americans fall for the deception over and over again. Progressives from both parties exploit us by first pointing out the things we should be afraid of, and then offering us “solutions” to these fears—solutions that always require us to give up our freedoms.
In his signature no-holds-barred way, Beck destroys the false promises of Progressivism and asks us: Why do we accept the lies?

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Rubbish. Beck is a lunatic, and this collection of hysteria is why conservatism is in the toilet.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Re-read this and see that what glenn stated is following the timeline that he laid out for us in this book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Different than his other books. Didn't care for the voice who was speaking the audiobook.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a topic that I've always been interested in ever since high school: the Progressive Movement within the two major political parties. The very thing most of the Progressive Democrats claim their conservative colleagues are, which they treat more like opponents, but LBJ and Sanger were exactly that proven yet these are their champions. I have read about LBJ in other books which beck confirmed. I liked the way he set up this book and back up his position with material and articles and quotes. Fear can be a powerful weapon. And when people have power they do not like to lose it.
