Liberty and Tyranny

By Patrick M. Connors "PM Connors"Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America

Mark Levin has produced another book which takes a position all Americans should be concerned with, the overreach of the federal government. Mr. Levin introduces to the reader in the first chapter precisely what governance should be "For much of American history, the balance between governmental authority and individual libery was understood and accepted. Federal power was confined to that which was specifically enumerated in the Constitution and no more."

Certainly anyone who is paying attention recognizes, as Mr. Levin points out with the rest of the book, that government is now acting unrestrained by any constitutional restrictions. In point of fact, every day Americans witness the truth of the latter while the executive, legislative and judicial branches nationalize the auto industry, interfere with the lawful operation of financial institutions, inhibits the industry and innovation of private citizens and small business (unless approved of and "green") and weakens national security in a very dangerous world.

The book is a quick read, but requires thinking. Mr. Levin after correctly pointing out the problems, offers solutions in the epilogue, the Conservative Manifesto. He promotes the return of individual responsibility, educating ourselves, family, friends or others and activism... armed with knowledge.

I highly recommend the book and listening to Mr. Levin on the radio, or pulled from the internet. We need to beat back the "statist" agenda and restore America to the principles so well argued and implemented by the founders. Related Articles:
