Strongest Recommendation Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto




I finished this book in one sitting. But don't confuse its brevity with superficiality. "Liberty and Tyranny" is a compact manifesto. Always civil and civilized, it nevertheless packs quite a punch. And no wonder. This isn't a dry informational tract, nor is it a give-'em-hell polemic. It is, rather, incontrovertible in its analysis and supremely wise in its how-to aspects.

Strongest Recommendation Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
As President Obama and the rest of the looney-left continue to make a hash of the economy, a shambles of our institutions, and a mockery of our most foundational values, traditionalists of all stripes must fight the good fight vigorously and relentlessly. I've read "That Hideous Strength" and other prophetic novels, and I don't want that to be our fate. With Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" as our bible (a lower case "b", you'll note) and with the Bible (the Douay-Rheims version, if you please) as, well, our Bible, perhaps we'll prove Lewis, Huxley, and Orwell to have been false prophets.

Strongest Recommendation Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
I believe it was Saint Augustine who said that we must work as if everything depends on us; we must pray as if everything depends on God. That's a pretty good plan; in fact, it's one that can't possibly fail.
