Congrats, Mark Levin
I’ve been reading Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny — and you should be, too.
It’s now #1 on Amazon.com. With good reason. Levin has delivered a stalwart conservative manifesto written by a conservative who doesn’t want to re-brand and repackage conservatism into liberalism. He draws on founding principles, not polls, to lay out the agenda for the Right — and to illuminate the fatal flaws of statism.
Through his invaluable work at the Landmark Legal Foundation, blogging at National Review Online, and his wildly successful syndicated radio talk show, Levin amplifies and anchors conservatism with unapologetic brashness, boldness, and ballsiness.
Beltway GOP, take a cue.

Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker:
Fans of Mark Levin’s syndicated radio show will recognize the voice of the hard-hitting champion of conservatism they know and love. But there is also, for those unfamiliar with Mark’s radio work (but perhaps propagandized by liberal media into dismissing him as a crazy right wing radical), a remarkable and persuasive tone, based on solid research, extensively documented, and unchallengeable reason. This book could actually change some minds, especially as the nation’s peril becomes more and more apparent.
All in all, Mark Levin has given us a remarkable gift. Read this book, and buy copies for those you care about, too. Anyone from a clever high schooler to a scholar of political philosophy can benefit from reading Liberty and Tyranny.

Saw him last night on Sean’s show talking about the book. He’s a good guy. Very funny too. The book sounds like a winner.
I am absolutely in love with Mark Levin. I can’t wait to read his book. Getting it today.
He needs to run for office. Or, better yet, be appointed AG by the next conservative president.
Thank goodness something, anything, has knocked this off its perch:
Just treated myself to a Kindle, it’s going to be christened by Mark Levin’s new book.
I would my left arm to hear Obambi call his show to complain about his treatment by the “Great one”. And then, to hear Mark say, “Get off the phone ya big dope!”
Wow, when Glenn Beck recommends a book, people seem to listen. Who would have guessed that books that have been in print for 20+ years would become so popular?
I would give both arms!!!
Something you don’t like about liberty, or do like about tyranny?
Huh?
I think there’s something he doesn’t like about Steve Harvey trying to be Oprah.
On this I can agree.
NJ-I do believe chapoutier was knocking down “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment” by Steve Harvey
Mark Levin’s book knocked it off the top of the marquee at Amazon.com
What struck me listening to Mark last night was hearing his utterly elegant, unshakably true statement that the principles of conservatism are consistent with the foundation of our country enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. I couldn’t agree more.
In contrast, liberalism, (et. al. socialism, communism), appears to be unprincipled with no moral compass at all and finds no quarter in the founding documents. With liberalism not supporting the ideals for which this republic stands, what else can it ‘do’ but stand against them?
piano,
AZN,
THANK YOU. I mean…come on…”Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man”?
I think I’d rather see “Busom Jihadis: The Real Story of My Homosexual Muslim Relationship with Barack Obama” by William Ayers at the top than a book titled “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” by Steve Harvey of all people.
Some supposed intellectuals have an ability to manufacture endless streams of bogus crap. Mark Levin’s last blog entry is in this tradition:
In other words, a Republican convicted of a crime in office, should he actually be penalized for said crime, becomes a political prisoner. Libby was not convicted of holding conservative principles. He was convicted of obstruction of justice.
What do you have against Steve Harvey? He’s a fine Christian man.
Beltway GOP,
take a cue. get a clue.FIFY
Bravo for life’s little ironies!
LGM:
The issue I have with the Libby thing is that it seemed too much like a “witch-hunt” to me.
I guarantee you if federal investigators asked me enough questions about more or less any topic I will eventually say something incorrect and find myself being accused of obstruction or lying to federal agents or something similar.
I will openly admit I do not know all the details of the case, but I have to say I am often rather suspicious when charges like “obstruction” seem to be the only thing the feds can come up with.
I am not saying it isn’t always warranted, but sometimes I am not so sure.
Fine – if all convictions are legitimate, i.e., pronounced w/o prejudice.
I realize it’s not in your job description as GOP plant to do so, but why is it you never hold such standards for the “intellectuals” on the Left?
I’d like to see LGM survive a grand jury manipulated by a prosecutor as aggressive as Libby’s. If LGM thinks that kind of “justice” should be tolerated, then there’s simply no hope for the left…they are simply immoral users of any means to justify their retributive ends.
I saw Mr. Levin on Hannity last night too. Like Rush, Mark Levin is truly one of the most important voices for conservatism today. God bless him! I will be getting his book today.
Exactly! The Constitution and Declaration are two of the most precious documents in the history of the world. The current administration’s power-grab for this country and their complete disregard for the founding principles is obvious and they must be stopped, whatever it takes.
TOTALLY BOGUS!!
If Scooter Libby ACTUALLY obstructed justice - THEN WHERE WAS SUCH JUSTICE ULTIMATELY SERVED?
I don’t recall Richard Armitage being frog marched down the front steps – do you?
To claim justice was obstructed when the prosecution ALREADY KNEW APRIORI who did the deed is an ABSURD BREACH OF JUSTICE in of itself.
Got the book ordered. I have tried to keep up with this guy over the years, When he says something it is usually right on the intend , if not word , of our constitution. Rush called him F. Lee Levine and of course when Rush speaks its worth listening.
Another book he wrote, Saving Sprite really puts another face on Mark. A caring gentle person who’s not afraid to fight for what he believes in.
I was happy to see it on Drudge this morning.
It was – a witch hunt meant to illicit information under duress that would harm or possibly implicate the Bush Administration in some bogus, Dem-manufactured scandal. Luckily it failed, thanks to Mr. Libby’s stamina and principles.
You would know. Takes one to know one. Rubber and glue. Blah blah blah.
Get back to me when you actualy have a point and not just some blind attack.
Wait till you see what is coming.
Marks other book was Rescuing Sprite. My mistake. It was saving to me.
Excuse me–why is Scooter Libby brought up on a thread about Mark Levin, lgm?
Would you bring it up on a thread about Ann Coulter–probably not.
Please do not lgm hijack this with his inane and unwelcome comments?
I can’t wait to read this new book by Mark. On his show he is passionate and gets riled up, but in his books he has the chance to solidly back up all of his views and present them in a way Americans who are not constitutional scholars can understand.
No, no, Ann Coulter has said a handful of things that actually are insane. Levin was making sense with his comments about Libby.
Uh oh… there I go again with my dissenting opinions. Shame, shame.
ahhh, zero–we will disagree again.
PS. An afterthought: PLEASE, PLEASE do not reply to my comments about Ann Coulter. I do not wish to be accused of trolling (yet again).
I apologize if I hurt the feelings of any Ann Coulter fans. I have read some of her books myself; and she does indeed make many rational (and funny) points.
Troll.
LOL!
Ha! ‘hurt the feelings of Ann Coulter fans’–
as a fan of Ann, I can tell you that my feelings cannot be hurt! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be a fan, hey?
Levin is fabulous. A real voice in the wilderness.
chap won’t get it until the Obamashirts show up at his door one fine day for some nefarious reason. Dude, nothing wrong with being liberal and partisan but you are willfully ignorant. There is no excuse for that.
wighttrasch:
Perhaps I could have worded it better? Maybe I should have used the phrase “raise the ire of?” In any case, I am waiting for an onslaught, though we may have successfully avoided a thread hi-jack
Who are you to crticize the fourth estate?
Please disregard lgm. He is only doing what his Masters tell him to.
Yeah, and then Bush stabbed him in the back.
Oh… Chap, I thought you were knocking Levin’s book for some reason.
Nevermind.
Mark Levin has been accused of being loud and shouting on his radio program. I have never heard him on the radio, but last night on Hannity, he was very soft spoken and eloquent. Does he really yell on the radio? Like Rush does? If so, it must be effective, as he has many listeners. After hearing him last night, I will try to find out when he is on here locally, as I want to hear more from him!
He can be enthusiastic.
You sometimes have to dig deep to understand Chap’s humor…but it is worth it. He’s pretty clever! Other times, you dig deep to find the humor and only come up with, well, mud. That’s our Chappy.
That is hilarious!
Is he as bad as Savage? I couldn’t take that!
happyscrapper:
Yes, and far worse than Rush. Rush is pleasant compared to him. He has a rather grating voice too which I find unpleasant. It IS effective and does get listeners.
He often shouts down callers and / or hangs up on them with the phrase, “get off the phone you big jerk!” Hannity has sampled this for his own show. I believe he does this purposely to elicit an emotional response in his listeners, “Levin sure told that guy!” It works, I personally do not enjoy that kind of radio show, others disagree. I often agree with Levin’s points, it’s his style I dislike.
I don’t remember ever listening to Savage, but from what I’ve heard I imagine they are similar.
Maybe we should buy copies to send to our supposed Republican leaders.
is that one by Dr. Michael Savage?
lol–Savage was brought up before my post!
oh well–too bad there isn’t a ‘recall’ feature on this forum. Now I just sound lame.
Can’t be done in this universe. Michelle writes what I want everyone to know – Ann writes what’s on my mind.
Amen!
Limited government… Didn’t we used to have that?
Hotel-Sierra this is Zulu-Alpha, radio check, over.
Roger out.
Hehe.
You this is me, adjust fire over.
Be nice, Zeroangel, be nice.
Grid 12341234 over
one LGM in the open, ICM in effect over
flmom:
*grin* I am just carrying over the drama from the other thread. Hey, at least I am not using teletype like RabbidSquirrel!
zeroangel
You know, it’s not nice to bait.
Now I have visions of sonofdy with his toy airplanes.
shot out, splash out
Fire for effect
(its artiliary, not planes)
Keep it down–I’m trying to improvise.
Mission complete, one LGM destroyed.
sonofdy
Sorry, carry on.
Good boy, now about that Ilovemycountry.
flmom:
Sorry, I know you are right I am just responding in kind (from other thread), I’ll stop.
Sonofdy was indeed calling for a mock fire mission to bring in artillery (or mortars) on LGM. For all that are interested:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-30/f630_5.htm
blame zeroangel, he or she took me back.
He, sorry I know the nick is ambiguous. Yes, mah bad. I was drifting myself for a bit.
ok, but I am doing them all at once this time.
-You this is me, adjust fire over
-grid aa34562341
-one ilovemycountry in the open, HE followed by WP in effect over
-shot out splash out
-fire for effect
-mission complete one ilovemycountry burning and bleeding.
Danceswithdachshunds: If you say Steve Harvey is a fine Christian man I’ll accept that: he DETERMINATELY needs an editor
(just learned a new word!)
And as lgm is knocking the book in question I just have ordered it. MM FOR-lgm AGAINST is a +++ – see how that works?
Congratulations Mr. Levin–you irritated my favorite Liberal.
Ann Coulter has said a handful of things that actually are insane
Michell Malkin is a Self Hating bad person
Scooter Libbey parked in a loading zone
George Bush, Karl Rove …….
Oh well, the book is coming, I would wish our Liberal Trolls a nice day but they would consider that hateful and the ArizonaNeanderthal does not wish to appear hateful
To translate for all:
He is saying to adjust the direction of the fire to a particular map location (grid number)
ilovemycountry is in the open, we are going to hit him with High Explosive and White Phosphorus.
shot fired and landed.
We got em, keep firing.
Self-explanatory, though not exactly textbook radio procedure, no big deal.
sonofdy, please correct me if I messed up something, I think that’s the gist of it though.
Actually I said that, not LGM. However, please don’t comment on it because you would be feeding my “trolling.”
Yeah, I’m an old Army RTO, too.
about right. Its been a few years. For example you don’t really need to say grid, but this would get a fire mission out there.
oh and I just violated the geneva convention by using WP on people. Shake and bake missions are used on equipment and buildings. Break them up and set them on fire. But what the hell. Its ilovemycountry so I figured nobody here is going to report me
sonofdy:
Indeed! I forgot about that. We used to make jokes about stuff like that too. It stopped being funny when people were actually getting prosecuted (and in some cases, rightfully) for things we used to joke about; double-tapping comes to mind.
Belt buckles and socks are equipment.
Chap #4 – I strongly agree. I dont want to think like a man, no offense.
As for Mr. Levin’s book, the title is intruiging and I will purchase a copy at the next opportunity.
Never happens.
(and if one of my guys brings a camera, i will slap him.)
I never saw a thing, I know nothing.
PS. THANK YOU!
LOL @ b-cat. Exactly the way I remember that joke. I think we used to say boots as well, LPC (Leather Personnel Carriers).
Sometimes, nothing but phosphorous will do, though.
Lets not bring up the tanker who hit the wrong button on the isu and shot a main gun round at an infantryman.
Or the effect of 25mm pratice rounds on cows in Fort Hood. (on the termal sights, they look just like the bmp target if they stand still.)
Great, lgm. And you know that Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice and perjury, right? Perhaps you can tell us why he wasn’t convicted?
Rather expensive way to make ground beef don’t you think?
sonofdy:
That’s awesome. Sadly, I did not get many chances to play with big guns like that. Biggest thing I ever ever fired on more than several occasions was a Ma-deuce on the back of a Hummer.
LOL
Considering the money the army pays for each cow, yes.
I hear “fire for effect” on Combat all the time. What call is made to ask for a round when walking the target?
Danceswithdachshunds:
IIRC, it is a serious of calls to “adjust fire.” I don’ think there is a command to fire a series with stepwise prearranged increments. Seems like it would be a waste of ammo. sonofdy might be a better person to ask. I wasn’t always that great with radio procedure, admittedly.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-30/f630_5.htm
*series of calls. Not serious. *sigh*
Is there really an epidemic of cows wandering onto the firing range?
Chap, more likely it is the rounds fired that do the wandering *wink*.
My brother in law leads a mortar team and I refuse to believe he could make a mistake.
I listen to Mark daily, he truly loves the America the founding fathers left for us. He is insightful, enlightening, humorously entertaining with his sharp, dry humor, on my list to get the book. Oh, and by the way he is one smart cookie, love to see him debate any of the hard core lefties in an open debate, Mark does know his history, doesn’t just spout numbers and words he knows what he is saying.
There is such a thing as a walking barrage, but I think that comes from higher command. I don’t think it originates with a rifle squad.
Chap:
Mortars, I certainly hope not! I am sure your brother-in-law wouldn’t. sonofdy wasn’t talking about mortars though when he mentioned 25mm practice rounds. I am not sure exactly what weapon system he is referring to, but I am confident he is talking about some kind of direct-fire weapon.
