Mark Levin’s new book will no doubt be a bestseller, just like his previous offerings. But his latest work should be required reading for every recent college or high school grad just starting to make his way in the world, as well as every American voter.
Levin explains in elegant, but easy to understand terms just how Washington and the elites who infest the nation’s capital are stealing our future. Woven into his narrative are both his original analysis of the corruption of our modern state and thoughts on liberty and freedom from great statesmen like James Madison and Edmund Burke.
As Levin says, the “unraveling” of our civil society is “intensifying.”
We have a “rising utopian statism” peddled by “political demagogues and self-appointed masterminds” that is concentrating “governmental power in an increasingly authoritarian and centralized federal Leviathan.” Americans need to realize that “the ruling generation’s governing policies are already forecast to diminish the quality of life of future generations.” From the “massive welfare and entitlement state” that is “expanding and imploding” to the “brazen abandonment of constitutional firewalls and governing limitations,” we are reaching a stage where, “if not appropriately and expeditiously ameliorated, the effects will be dire.”
According to Levin, the “ruling generation” has forgotten the “uncomplicated and cautionary insight” of James Madison in Federalist 51 about the “essential balance between civil society and government restraint.”
As Madison warned, “the difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” Yet so “many loving parents,” who Levin acknowledges have a fierce protective instinct towards their children, have, “as part of the ruling generation,” abandoned civil society for “the growing tyranny of a voracious central government that steals their children’s future.”

Unless its filled with colorful cartoon pictures most college graduates will not be able to understand it anyway.
If Levin’s book is over 140 characters, I have my doubts.
Oh no you Dit-Int!!!
Only if they read it...and understand it.
No.
Their teachers will (continue to) tell them that Levin is a hate-filled right wing racist, and their media heroes will do the same.
And in the unlikely event that a parent buys it for them and forces them to read it, they will hate it because they were forced.
The only ones that will learn from it are those who are already of the correct mindset.
The left had as a core mission, to capture control over schools in America. They have succeeded in spades. We have lost a full generation to leftist indoctrination and are on the way to losing another. While Levin’s book will be another triumph, it’s audience, I fear, is already too sold on leftism.
More than a little harsh and inaccurate.
It is up to us to bring them on board
