Mark Levin aka "The Great One" has always been a great constitutional conservative and great friend of Free Republic. Doesn't post much anymore but has had an account here (holdonnow) from nearly the beginning. He stood up for FR when his good friend Hannity was running us down. Also when O'Reilly accused us of not moderating our forum good enough against racism.
I hate to see our good friend getting trashed on FR. I understand why people are upset with him over his position against Trump, but best advice I can give is if you can't stand him, don't listen. I had to quit listening to Beck several years ago after he went nuts, and now rarely tune in Limbaugh. I click on the Mark Levin Show, maybe once per week, just to see if our old trusted ally is back. Sadly, he's still missing in action.
I pray that Rush and Mark come to their senses pretty soon and realize that the primaries are over and the great constitutional conservative Ted Cruz lost. Badly.
We can't go back and we cannot replace our candidate. It's Trump or Hillary. We have to do all we possibly can to make sure Hillary is defeated! And that starts with not bad-mouthing OUR candidate.
There are no do overs and no crying in politics.
Notice that I said "OUR" candidate. This is not like when the GOPe with their big donor bucks installed one of their own sure-losers as the Republican candidate (McCain, Romney, et al) and then told us to suck it up. Which most of us did, even Levin and Limbaugh, because we knew the damage that Obama would do to our country. And he did. And Hillary's damage will be even more severe because she'll be building on Obama's slide into godless socialism and she'll have an immediate shot at packing the courts with godless liberal activists. These judges will be with us for a lifetime. And their rulings for generations. She'll also grant amnesty and voting rights to millions of illegals and throw open our borders to millions more. And then fling the borders wide open for the Muslims. Yup. Sharia law would be coming to a country near you. And the failing Obamacare? No problem. HillaryCare's single payer system will straighten that right out. And she'll save our planet from "climate change" by killing off all our capitalist industries.
Trump was voted in by we the rebellious grassroots voters who are sick and tired and fed up and said NO MAS to the political ruling class and their open borders donors.
This is a voter rebellion and Trump is OUR champion.
We fully intend to crush Hillary and the uniparty in November and reclaim America for AMERICANS!!
Why did we choose Trump to be our champion:
Secure the borders. Build the wall. Enforce the law. End sanctuary cities. Do whatever is humanly possible in deporting as many illegals as we possibly can and or dry up their prospects by enforcing the law and many of them will leave on their own volition.
Slap a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration until we can find out what in the hell is going on! Meanwhile, bomb the shit out of ISIS. And take their oil. And find out what's going on in the mosques.
Rebuild the military!
Throw out Obama's illegal/unconstitutional executive orders and executive agreements. Repeal Obamacare!
Get a handle on trade deals and make sure Americans come first!
Cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the regulations, cut the government; return the powers and functions reserved to the states back to the states per the constitution and the 10th amendment.
And it's not just about the constitution and national security:
End the ridiculous war on coal, gas & oil, bring back manufacturing. Drill, baby, drill; mine, baby, mine; build, baby, build, farm, baby, farm, produce, baby, produce. The Business of America is business.
Strengthen our economy and create a business friendly environment!
Jobs, baby, jobs!!
Set our people free and let them produce and prosper!!
This is the voter rebellion we've all been longing for. Even bigger than the tea party. Pray Levin and Rush join us. We need their full-throated support to ensure the defeat of the corrupt, America-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating Hillary and the election of OUR candidate. Donald Trump!!
One of the slogans from the America revolution was:
Join or die!!
Another:
Don't tread on me.
And who can forget:
Give me Liberty or give me death!!
Hannity is a tool and not a friend of FR.
But politics is about what's possible, and further amending the Consitution is all but impossible now in our deeply divided country. It has only happened twice in my lifetime, and the last one took over 200 years to be ratified!
For me, it's not about aligning around my principles, it's about aligning around my goals.
I can tolerate a less principled candidate as long as I think he's best positioned to achieve my goals. Of course, there is a minimum principles line I won't cross, but I don't think that Trump is anywhere near that line. But we have to win the election first for any of it to matter.
I know Levin wants to live up to ideological principles, but he also has to figure out how he's willing to trade off adherence to principles with alignment of goals.
And the goal is to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

Levin may be on our side, but what good does it to have an ally that joins the enemy ranks when the penultimate battle has commenced? All because his guy got trounced. If Cruz had dropped out early or not run, Mark would still be in our foxhole, not lobbing grenades in ours.
After some harsh, pointed (and well deserved) criticisms of liberal hacks McCain and Romney during the primary, did Mark then ally with the Obama camp for the general election? Hell no he didn’t.
A lot of people we thought were on our side have shown their true colors. That includes Mark Levin.
I regret I ever bought any of his books, but will not make that mistake again. Nor will I waste time listening to him.
Your sore loser Cruzer rage is dripping from every post. Suck it up, buttercup. Primary of over.
Thank you, I needed the reminder.....
THANK YOU Jim! I haven’t had a chance to listen lately, but I still love Levin and his knowledge and expression of our Constitutional values. His opinions on the election are his own. Everybody has pretty much made up their mind anyway, on the conservative side. You’re right; if somebody doesn’t like him, then just don’t listen.
I listened to that too . Hannity said it best .
I cannot listen to Levin for now. Let Trump win, then Levin will have to adapt.
Check out Lou Dobbs on Fox Business, too. He is very supportive of Trump and regaining control of our immigration system.
And a short-term friend and supporter of Hillary Clinton...
Thank you Jim.
I feel like we have been scorned in a way, we didn't leave Mark, Beck etc, they left us. Can we forgive? Ya. But when are they coming back.
It is a feeling of betrayal, we believed in them and the cause, yet when the candidate is not 100% and really kind of different, they go south on us. Or.... Was it all for cash flow, ego, connections, and being part of the GOP ( Rush for sure and his closeness with the Bushes ). That is what has me flummoxed, who are they really now...
FWIW, Trump IMHO might be a better POTUS then any of us hoped for. Rough around the edges? Oh ya, I'll tell you in private....
I used to enjoy John Bachelor on ksfo - then they pulled him.
I liked that he covered a lot of different topics and regions of the world.
His delivery reminded me a bit of John Mclaughlin.
Levin, Beck, Limbaugh & others believe, should Trump lose, the Republican party can be rebuilt in 4 yrs without the populist element that has driven this election. Nothing could be further from the truth. Should they successfully sabotage Trump they will have halved the party with ppl like me never to return.
It should be crystal clear to every rational person that the never-Trumpers like Levin, Beck, Rush, Loesh, Erickson, nro etc are champions of the kabuki party in the district of corruption.
They are gas-lighters, pressure valves to keep real Americans sedated while this marxist muslim coup is being solidified.
They are Hillary supporters. Their careers are over.
Levin is wrong on trade as well. Cheaper crappy goods brought to us by the globalists can be shown to have economic benefit. But they ignore costs of the erosion of our culture, manufacturing base, innovation and competition. The wage competition is a race to the bottom, decimating wage growth alongside the middle class. Even high tech industries, bringing H1B workers, has had incalculable costs on our American culture and pipeline of native student’s desire to pursue studies in math, science, engineering and computers.
Those guys are double-fools because the Democrats clearly have a permanent majority plan in play. If Hillary wins she’ll finish implementing it, and Democrats won’t lose another election till the sun goes supernova.
I listen on line, and he has podcast, but getting to run is kinda funky, you may have to get a login @ his site and then the run....
