A bold new conservative approach to restore the glory of the movement that gave us Goldwater and Reagan
Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
by Mark Levin
Let's face it: conservatism is in crisis. The liberal
media is gleefully pronouncing it dead, and President Obama
and his Far-Left henchmen are doing all they can to make
sure it is marginalized and silenced. But radio talk show
host Mark Levin is not ready to admit defeat! In Liberty
and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, he outlines a
sweeping new conservative approach toward key issues
including immigration, education, health care, the welfare
state, the free market, and environmentalism. Above all, he
issues a ringing call for a return to the true principles
of Federalism and the Constitution as the Framers intended
it to be -- a true conservative manifesto!
(continued from above)
So distant is America today from its founding
principles, says Levin, that it is even hard to describe
precisely the nature of our government as it stands: it’s
not quite a representative republic, not quite a
constitutional republic, and not quite a federal republic.
In contrast to this confusion, Levin, the bestselling
author of Rescuing Sprite and Men In Black, offers a sound
conservative vision -- and maintains that conservatism is
not just a political perspective, but a way of
understanding life, society, and governance.
Levin offers a solid historical overview of the
Founding Fathers' view of civil society, liberty, the
dignity of the individual, and shows how these views were
enshrined in the Constitution. With illuminating erudition
and his customary wit, Levin explains the true nature of
progress (as opposed to the counterfeit "change" that Obama
and the other hucksters in his Administration are selling
to the American people), details the role of religious
faith in the American Founding (in contrast to the radical
secularism that Leftists are forcing down Americans'
throats today), and offers a solid prescription for
battling proponents of the ever-expanding welfare rolls,
environmentalist totalitarians, open-borders fanatics, and
short-sighted peaceniks who would leave America weaponless
and defenseless.
Levin reminds us that freedom isn't guaranteed, but
must be fought for and defended stoutly. We conservatives
need to get busy -- and in Liberty and Tyranny, Levin shows
us the way.
Defending the Constitution and true conservatism:
Why conservatives must defeat all efforts to
unconstitutionally regulate political; speech on
broadcast outlets, especially radio
How the relentless efforts of statists to criminalize war
will make securing the nation against future attacks
devilishly difficult
Why Obama is dead wrong when he insists that the security
of the American people is inextricably linked to the
security of all the people of the world
Poor and unskilled foreign labor: sure, it benefits
certain businesses, but it harms society as a whole
economically as well as in other ways
How the flood of immigration, both legal and illegal,
into the U.S. discourages the use of English and
encourages the establishment of ethnic enclaves that
weaken our national unity
Proof: carbon dioxide does not affect temperature levels
-- but why no amount of evidence will dissuade
environmentalist statists of the truth of global warming
How environmentalist wackos have made even the flush
toilet a point of controversy
How the federal government legally forces employers and
employees to "contribute" to an "insurance" program that
was conceived in deceit and punishes their children and
grandchildren
The New Deal: in reality, it was a dismal failure -- yet
to this day it remains the Statist's model for governance
Why the best way to stimulate the economy would be for
the federal government to slash capital gains taxes,
corporate income taxes, and individual income tax rates
Why the conservative is not a special pleader for oil
companies or any other corporations
Private property: why no one can understand the free
market without understanding its importance
Herbert Hoover: a hands-off disciple of the free market?
Hardly -- how his statist policies were a precursor to the
New Deal and made the Great Depression worse
How Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are built on a
family of frauds: the concealment of facts and the
fraudulent seizure of American taxpayers' money
The Clinton advisor who said in a moment of candor: "Even
if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be
doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and
environmental policy" -- that is, drastically increasing
the power of the state over the lives of individual
Americans
How, rather than Americanize aliens and use public and
private institutions to inculcate in them the virtues of
American culture, language, mores, history, traditions,
and customs, statists are cultivating a cultural
relativism in which the cultures from which the aliens
fled are held as equal with American culture
Why the U.S. cannot regain its competitive standing in
the world by importing low wage workers from other
countries
How the liberal idea of citizenship demeans the citizen
and weakens American society
Why it is so important for parents and grandparents to
teach their children and grandchildren to believe in and
appreciate the principles of the American civil society,
and stress the importance of preserving and improving
that society
How local public school systems all over the country are
struggling today with the consequences of the federal
government's short-sighted and self-serving policies
Republicans: how they seem clueless about how to slow,
contain, and reverse the Statist agenda -- and what
conservatives must do to change that situation
Why conservatives continue to ignore the media,
Hollywood, public schools and universities only at their
own risk
How Leftists habitually engage in underhanded tactics
intended to stifle genuine debate on their pet issues
How the Founding Fathers recognized that America had to
be strong politically, economically, culturally and
militarily to survive and thrive in a complex, ever-
changing global environment -- not only in their time but
for all time

Let me put it as briefly as I can:
If you know how the statists are taking away liberties one by one, you know the Constitution inside out, are an American history buff then maybe you won't need this book.
For the rest of us, who were not taught much of the other half of the story in school, this book is necessary as a FIRST STEP to understanding how we got to were we are and knowing what to look for next in your research and understanding of your liberty as an individual and nation.
This book is a very easy read and it is full of useful information and loaded with all of the resources as to where Mr. Levin got his information.
The Manifesto is the last chapter and is necessarily placed there because of the useful build-up of information that must come first and be understood first before knowing why the manifesto exists. Buy this book with an open-mind, not just as a weapon of information to use against the left. You will be amazed!

All the lies we were told in school and those pushed in the main stream media are debunked in this book. The New Deal did not lift us out of the depression as we were told as impressionable children. Islam is not a "religion of peace"...most of us already had trouble believing that! This is an excellent, informative, and eye-opening book that I have already recommended to many.

This book really opened my eyes to so many things. I had so many questions in my mind that I could never get answers to. Mark explains so much in this book, you can't help but learn from it. I still have questions.... but they are new questions about they way things are controled now. Mark helps with that also with his radio show. Thanks Mark!
