Publisher's summary

Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times best-selling 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 listeners to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action.

Silent Majority No More

Mark presents a call for a return to our founding roots because in them is our future. If we are to survive as a free nation the manifesto is the road map to follow. Read it and learn what the truth really is.

A MUST READ BOOK!!!

I found this book very informative about the conservative movement and where our country is headed. I would recommend everyone get this book no matter your party affiliation.

Must Read

I wish everyone had to read this book before going to the voting booth.

Excellent

A great primer on conservative thought and why we think and believe what we do. My only complaint is that Levin didn't read it himself.

A detailed summary of how our freedom is lost.

Our founders intent of a Citizens rights and how our Government had limited that freedom through buaracrese and regulations.

The most intellectual Conservative of our time.

MARK R. LEVIN IS BY FAR THE BEST CONSERVATIVE MIND OF OUR TIME, ALSO INCLUDING THE PAST 100+ YEARS. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HIS BOOKS WILL BE READ FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. THESE ARE GOD GIVEN.

thought provoking

listen to it, then listen a few more times to get it pounded into your apathetic skull.

Great book

Gives a good outline of the big state agenda and how it should be fought.

If no social security of Medicare, then what?

As I understand SS, yes I contributed to both in my working years.
Should we create instead a S and Medicare bank account that can accrue interest?
If you save $5000 per year for 40 years you might have over 3 million to draw from
SS initially was thought to be necessary for 3-4 years. Life span initially was about 67.
Today that span has been increased by a decade or more.
The contribution rate has not kept up.

Another great title from Levin

Once again Mark Levin has given us a critical piece on the historical and contextual implications of Liberty.
