Your insinuation that Levin is misinformed about his revolutionary history is misplaced. It is he who popularized this as he explores the philosophical history that made the revolution possible and the Bill of Rights mandatory.

It is important to understand that he popularizes this as he educates, he educates as he popularizes. He does not merely recite incidents but explores the far more important intellectual and philosophical path that could lead Thomas Jefferson to write that all men are created equal. It's not for nothing that he has written a very well-received book on this very subject and it's not for nothing that he prominently displays portraits of John Locke and Montesquieu as part of his television set.

In this, as in virtually every other matter, Levin is on the right side, he is on the conservative side.

“Your insinuation that Levin is misinformed about his revolutionary history is misplaced. “

Try selling that to someone who hasn’t listened to Levin as much as I have. I know perfectly well what Levin focuses on and it’s the prominent Founders and the various writers and philosophers who influenced them.

What makes Levin a fool is his denunciation of populism, which played a huge role in the Revolution. The thousands of Colonials who gathered at Liberty Trees around the Colonies in the 1760s were populists. The merchants and farmers who boycotted British trade were populists. Tea Party rebels, Boston Massacre protestors, Minute Men were populists. The Militia and the Continental Line were populists. The last thing in the world that they were were obedient subjects deferring to their betters. There would have been no Revolution without them. Only an ignoramus dismisses the role of what the Colonials called “The Body of the People” in the Revolution.
