There’s pro- and anti-Levin on this thread.
The problem with Levin (and most everyone else) is that he’s only right in principle.
Principles alone never get you anywhere. George Washington had them, Paul Revere had them.
Yesterday I had occasion to think of Revere when I saw a post saying that the current condition of America is “intolerable.” Revere would doubtless have a different understanding of the word. We today tolerate our government and our culture too; in fact we support it with our labor, and our money.
Our leaders do not care about our principles, they want our tolerance, compliance, and above all our money.
That is why I am often ashamed to complain about things to the extent that most other conservatives do. I pay taxes. I pay the jizya of the infidel who doesn’t believe in pc, white guilt, climate change, socialism, and pro-abortion. And the leaders don’t care what I believe as long as I pay.
Nobody’s going to heed Levin’s advice just because it’s right. He’s only right. When the rubber meets the road, when principle meets practice, he can do nothing but support the GOP or the Rats, so he supports the GOP. Just like when November rolls around the fourth time, I can vote for Bob McRomney or the communist. Either way I have my principles and they have my money and the power they derive from my cooperation.
The people who gave us America — such as Washington and Revere — did not cooperate. For them it was liberty or death.
But that's not true. There are always other options. They are immediately derided as "unelectable", but that's only because not enough people consider them.
Sooner or later, the sea change is going to have to happen in the conservative movement and the Republican Party is going to have to lose its base if we are ever going to see real change in this country.
If enough good conservatives like Mark Levin finally make the move they've been threatening to make -- in other words, take actual, relevant action -- a third party conservative movement will threaten the Republican Party's power and influence to the point where it will have to change or die. It won't happen a single moment before it's forced to change.
I am given a similar choice every two years. Last year I finally voted for the communist. He didn't really have a chance, but at least he had more of a chance than any of the third party candidates. When you vote for a third party candidate it's only one vote against the RINO. When you vote for the designated communist, it's two votes against the RINO.
And what could be the worst thing that would happen if you helped to elect the communist? Would he/she really do more damage than the RINO? The good news would be that if your district is like mine, the communist would only be there for two years and might be replaced by someone who understands why the previous Republican was voted out of office after ten consecutive terms.
As for Levin and all the Levin lovers out there, the great Constitutional scholar refuses to even discuss what he thinks "natural-born citizen" means. He certainly never had any sort of discussion about authenticity of the Obama proffered birth certificates when I used to listen. Instead of picking a target, isolating it, and killing it, like his supposed political opponents, he allows himself to be distracted by a different affront to our Republic every few days.

I’m very much pro Levin...he’s the best conservative voice out there in radio-land, along with Cal Thomas!!
