Levin's new Book

I stopped at my local Borders yesterday to hunt down a copy of Mark Levin's new book Liberty and Tyranny. It was sold out. I put myself on the waiting list. The man in line in front of me was also putting his name on the waiting list. It is good to know that "we the people" are still involved. There is hope. Don't let the media browbeat you into thinking that you are in the minority.

Levin was on Rush yesterday. He presented some fascinating insights on the book. The title of the book was taken from a Lincoln quote. "The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name—liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names—liberty and tyranny."

In the interview Levin did not word things in the standard "liberal" and "conservative" terms. He did however, shed light on the term "statist." These are the folks that want to fire up the "social engineering" monster machine. They don't believe in individual liberty. They believe in the right of the "state" to control the lives of individuals by means of government mandates. This objective has given us FDR's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society and the War on Poverty. Now days, the steel bars of statism appear to be closing down all around us.

Levin also pointed out that the suit Obama wears, the microphone he uses, the car which drives him, the helicopter that flies him, and the telepromter (the thing that fills his mouth with words) he uses, are all the result of CAPITALISM!

I cannot wait to read this book!
