Mark Levin and the Book That Changed America

The American Spectator ^ | 11/9/2010 | Jeffrey Lord

[MountainDad]

One of the best, if not THE best, books I have ever read.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Levin is a coward and a fraud.

Well, now you can tell him directly here on this thread and see what he says to you.

[HonestConservative]

“UNLIKELY rockstar”?

I think NOT!

[The Comedian]

Levin for SCOTUS.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Godebert]

Well, now you can tell him directly here on this thread and see what he says to you. "

Levin is too much of a coward to even broach the subject of POTUS eligibility.

[sickoflibs]

I still remember when he wrote in ‘Men in Black’ that it was unconstitutional for the minority in the Senate to filibuster judges. That was only back in 2005.

Men in black: how the Supreme Court is destroying America By Mark Reed Levin(Google books)

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Levin is too much of a coward to even broach the subject of POTUS eligibility.

Good luck with that...

[Godebert]

"Why are you so exercised over the significance of that provision?"

It relates to Article II section one and the definition of NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Hey Levin.......you Big Dope!! I know how that phrase scares the C*@P out of you. 'Constitutional scholar' my @$$.

[foxfield]

I believe that Michele Bachmann is absolutely correct about Mark’s book.

[Huck]

I still remember when he wrote in ‘Men in Black’ that it was unconstitutional for the minority in the Senate to filibuster judges. That was only back in 2005.

Of course that's nonsense. There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents the Senate from filibustering judges. I'm sure I said so at the time. I'm sure I got flamed for it, and I'm sure once the power structure in Washington flipped, my view was suddenly acceptable.

Well, I was just disappointed. I thought that it simply re-stated all the stuff that we already knew, and I mean conservatives of almost any level of education.

The book struck a raw nerve in many Americans at a time when they were concerned about the future of our nation due to creeping over-regulation, over-taxation, continued growth of the federal government, and of course the bursting of the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis. His book signing events were met with huge throngs of people, this should have been seen as a seminal moment with by elites. Instead this awakening was being brushed off as a reaction to Obama’s election as racist.

Combined with Rush Limbaugh’s courageous proclamation “I hope he fails” and then Rick Santelli’s famous rant on CNBC, conservatives and patriots gathered their strength and began to rise up, organize and realize we are not alone.

Can’t wait until 2012...in the meantime there is more work to do in finding more quality congressional, state and local conservative candidates to run for public office.

Yep, starting in 2009 all of a sudden he started saying it was constitutional even though his book still says it's not. But don't forget, it's those libs that have that Living Constitution because their 'Ends justify their Means'. My coolaid drinking days are over.

Don’t forget Savage’s “Trickle Up Poverty” as an election turner, now and in 2012.

[Kenny Bunk]

Apparently, Sprite the Dog ate Mark Levin’s copy of the Constitution, particlularly Article II

[Sans-Culotte]

Just read the book and forget about what you heard on the radio. The book is not profound. Most of what it contains are truths that most freepers already know. But Levin did a good job of concisely defining true freedom while showing how freedom is threatened by the Statists.

I seldom listen to Levin on the radio. He is always cranky and cynical. However, he does have a great mind and can be eloquent; which is why I liked the book so much. Just because he was caught flat-footed on one call does not mean that his conservative manifesto is a waste of time or that he is a fraud.

Ah, now we know where you are coming from, the birth certificate question. Obama is the true “Manchurian Candidate”; his past including the original birth certificate and information about him being a “natural born citizen” have been locked up and washed clean by his handlers. We know he has something to hide but going there at this point is not going to gain traction among the 80 percent of the population that believes he’s a legitimate president.

It’s much more important to focus on his current actions as president to prevent further enactment of his Marxist/socialist agenda and roll back what has already been passed. Focusing on his qualifications to be president takes away from that all important effort.

Having said that, there may be an opportunity in 2012 to ask those questions during his renomination process when I believe the states again have to certify his qualifications to be president. That may pose a problem since there could indeed be some challenges in that area.

LOL
