About Mark Levin’s Show Last Night . . .

On Mark’s nationally syndicated show last night, he revealed the thrust of his soon-to-be launched Liberty Movement. He described once again how reform will not emerge from the men and women of the institutions responsible for the fast approaching demise of our society and republic.

If reform is to occur, it will only emerge from us, the sovereign people, the foundation of legitimate government. The vehicle for that reform will be the states, and the tool of reform is the constitutional amendment process of Article V.

He emphasized that neither of the two amendment processes of Article V provide for a constitutional convention to start over, to shake the etch-a-sketch clean. A state initiated convention would propose amendments and amendments only. IOW, Congress can and has proposed amendments, and the states can too, via the convention process. The states can call a convention to PROPOSE amendments, which, if agreed upon, are then sent to the states for three-fourths ratification, just as congressionally sourced amendments have been, from the first days of constitutional government. Says Mark, “This ladies and gentlemen, should extinguish the anxiety that the state convention process could hijack the constitution. It is impossible.”

As opposed to our colonial forebears, whose choices were either to live in tyranny or revolt, the Framers gave us a peaceful means by which to go over the heads of our oppressors. Our present situation is the reason they put it there. It is time to use it.

Mark has always emphasized bottom up conservatism. In that regard, his personal example should be an inspiration to us all. Since running and winning, at age 19 for a local school board seat, to his Landmark Legal Foundation battles with the Left, Mark doesn’t wait for superman to save his country.

Next month, Mark will release The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic. I cannot, of course, say with certainty that he will ask each and every one of us to exercise our God given sovereignty and press our state assemblymen and senator to exercise their authority to halt our slide into despotism. However, given his life-long passion and efforts, his willingness to get down in the mud with despicable men, women and organizations bent on creating a utopian hell, I am confident we will be called to action.

What we must fight: One of the strengths of the Left is their top down organization. Obama can call up protests and other actions anywhere, anytime, as his taxpayer funded agencies, dependents, goons and union thugs dutifully respond to the outrage of the day. Throw in the indispensable “Jawohl! Mein Fuhrer” media, and the disorganized republicrats cringe and acquiesce.

So, knowing this and Mark’s past activism, perhaps I’m not going too far out a limb to wonder if he has not coordinated his full frontal assault with other talk show hosts, such as good friends Rush and Hannity. Would Palin be aboard? I think so. Jim DeMint of The Heritage Foundation? Others? Considering the forces arrayed against constitutional restoration, it would a waste of time for Mark to be the lone ranger in this quest.

For the naysayers, the freeper defeatists, the Walter Mitty minutemen, recall the twenty six or so states that opposed Obamacare; recall the six year and ongoing jihad by Eric Holder’s DOJ against state sovereignty regarding border security and voter integrity. The EPA is busy setting state industrial and environmental standards designed to cripple our economy. Bear in mind that power is a drug. A federal drug is one that our state reps could develop an addiction to. In addition to state concerns, why wouldn’t they lust for input regarding federal statutes, treaties and federal court nominees via the senators appointed by them?

There is a strong whiff of resistance in the air. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to assume the offense against the Left, rather than continued, seemingly eternal defense? While I don’t believe we should wait for superman, I think Mark Levin, like Patrick Henry in 1765, may provide the spark of resistance to escalating tyranny.

Keep focused here....substance is more important than style. You may not like Mark Levin's style, he does tell it like it is and his sense of humor is top notch, but you can't argue with his substance. He is the best when it comes to Constitutional law...you learn something every time he speaks on the airwaves, in person or on TV. Mark Levin gives of himself, he is selfless, and his passion can't be beat.

It is very strange, but Rush has always been a loner. Never liked making appearances for candidates, didn’t like urging his listeners to call representatives. Doesn’t seem to ever want to write a book or do a TV show ever again, or ever get involved with other hosts on an equal footing on some sort of project.

It’s a very 90s way of doing AM talk radio when things were a bit more straight-forward, and talk show hosts weren’t effectively the last opposition to big government. But that does need to change.
