2. Excerpt from Glenn’s book; Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government: IN DEFENSE OF CAPITALISM Giving the Free Market a Fair Shake "What I did, when I did it, was honest; now, through changed conditions, what I did may or may not be called honest. Politics demand, therefore, that I be brought to trial; but what is really being brought to trial is the system I represented." — Samuel Insull, co-founder of Edison General Electric In 1881, a young English clerk named Samuel Insull sailed from England to America and took a low-paying job as a private secretary for a determined inventor named Thomas Edison. Insull worked hard, coming in before his boss in the morning and staying until long after Edison, who wasn't exactly lazy himself, had gone home at night. Over time, Insull's hard work and loyalty did not go unnoticed. He was promoted several times, eventually winding up in charge of Edison's business affairs. After twelve years absorbing as much knowledge as he could, Insull finally left to pursue his own American dream. He moved to Chicago, took out a personal loan for $250,000, and built the largest power plant in the world. At the time, electricity was like private jets are today — grossly expensive and available only to those who don't spend much time worrying about their bank account. But Insull had a dream that electricity could be produced on a much larger scale and used by the masses. By developing revolutionary ideas, like variable pricing and inexpensive home wiring, he turned electricity from a luxury into a virtual commodity. Before long, Insull's new company was servicing over ten million customers in 32 states and had a market value of over $3 billion (somewhere around $66 billion in today's dollars, which is about the size of Amazon.com and Kraft Foods, combined). Insull also benefited personally. At one point, his net worth was estimated to be $100 million. Time magazine even celebrated his success by putting him on their cover in 1929. He was a true American success story — a foreigner with virtually nothing to his name who had made it big through hard work and innovation. Then the world changed. -http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/arguing-with-idiots-glenn-beck/1100042902?ean=9781416595014 Writing like Glenn Beck: Writing similarly to Glenn Beck is not a hard task to complete but you must know a few things prior to doing so. First off you must have prior knowledge in politics; meaning you must know about America’s governmental system and what our two political parties stand for. The second manner in which Glenn writes pertains to his style of writing. He portrays most of his stories as if he is “showing” you a story rather than just “telling” you one. He wants his reader to feel immersed and to question what it is that he is talking about. This allows the reader to understand what it is that they just read and usually provides a nice little controversial topic for readers to expand on. The third and final way that Glenn writes is all about the word reflection. In many of his writings, Glenn uses his past experiences as backup for his various theories and predictions that go into his books.
