Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative ManifestoLiberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark R. Levin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Excellent points brought up after the first fifty pages. The first part was a good overview for the uninitiated but then the book really gets broad and deep and gets to the root of America's problems - the systematic dismantling of the Constitution since FDR.



It's going to take decades for conservatives to undo the damage modern liberals have done over the last eight decades but it can certainly be done. Levin lays out how in this book. Conservatives must reunite and stand their ground wile the most liberal administration ever elected attempts to enslave the public further.



The title comes from a speech Abraham Lincoln gave in 1864.



"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."
