Product Description
Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times bestselling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, Men in Black, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir Rescuing Sprite, Mark R. Levin now delivers the book that characterizes both his devotion to his more than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers: Liberty and Tyranny is Mark R. Levin's clarion call to conservative America, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century.
In the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is now. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do in the end stand for liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society -- in short, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future, Levin writes "conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are our founding principles." And in a series of powerful essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom.
As provocative, well-reasoned, robust, and informed as his on-air commentary, Levin's narrative will galvanize readers to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action. Liberty and Tyranny provides a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for revitalizing the conservative vision and ensuring the preservation of American society.

and that's as far as I got. This clown isn't going to acknowledge the Bush cabinet for that particular crime? Mark R. Levin is a liar in that case and nothing else he has to say is worth listening to. __________________

Way to help me sell books. I'm trying to make a living here. Just cause you don't like Bush doesn't mean conservatism is wrong. Bush's only problem was he wasn't conservative enough. He carried the brand without the soul of conservatism. I still think he had a lot of good points, but he made some mistakes in ideology that cost a lot of votes for the republican party. I mean to me Bush spent way to much money. That was his biggest problem. Too much wasteful spending. As far as Iraq and so forth I would like to hear if other conservatives disagreed with that besides Ron Paul. The only argument against Iraq really I've heard came from him or liberals. __________________

Patriot act.
Warrantless wiretapping of every single American citizen with all correspondance being kept in a database.
Posse Comitatus being ignored.
War crimes involving torture.
The horrible possibility of members of his cabinet having some level of involvement in the events of 9-11.
These things are not predicted on whether I like that douche or not. They happened under his watch-this is fact(except for 9-11, the jury is still out on that one).
Sell a different book maybe? __________________

You know you get upset because there was no mention of Bush. You don't know if the man ever had his own complaints about Bush based on a conservative view point.
The point of the book is to point out how liberalism is attacking the constitution. Seems like a knee jerk reaction coming from you. The question is do you or do you not agree that the current liberal establishment is attacking the constitution? I think you do. I understand you think Bush had his issues too, but don't discard the baby with the bath water because of any political prejudices. __________________

He left Bush out and had no business doing so. ALL of the one-sided political nonsense needs to go bye-bye, whether it's supposedly strictly 'liberal' or 'conservative'. These people are parasites and are a huge part of the problems we have. __________________

I heard this guy on Rush for a few minutes yesterday, and what he says is all basic conservatism. Which is something that can't be preached enough especially to those that are supposed to believe it anyway namely republican politicians.
I still can't think of a situation where Bush's actions were necessarily as bad as Obama's when it comes to an attack on freedom. Obama is attacking capitalism which everyone knows you want to control the world go after the money.
Of course Bush was going the route of using our money to give to banks at the end of his term. I can give you that one. I don't think he would be spending near as much as Obama is at the moment though. I could be wrong on that one, but the point still remains neither President should be spending tax money to give to businesses. __________________

Can't argue with you there.

I gave you a nice list already-no imagination required. You're limiting your scope on purpose to make Bush not such a bad guy-being President is quite a bit more than how they spend their unconstitutionally gained public funds. __________________
