Pick up Levin's new book. Then get back to me.
Do you actually believe that I am going to read Levin’s book, internalize what he has to say, and THEN come to some conclusion that is the anti-thesis of what I have learned through years of experience and study? Come on...
The Founding Fathers wanted us to be a nation of armed, self-disciplined, self-educated, frugal citizens who thought for themselves. This modern predilection to surrender one’s intellect to the latest authority figure is why we’re in the mess we’re in today.
I have a basement full of books and articles on American and international history, on constitutional theory and law, cross-referenced for accuracy. I do what our Founding Fathers did: I read, read, and then I read some more. As I read, I modify conclusions, but above all, I think for myself.
