Do We Choose Liberty or Tryanny?! - Mark Levin

The importance of getting America back on the right path of liberty and adherence to the Constitution is clearly stated by Mark R. Levin in his book Liberty and Tryanny. Read the following excerpts from his book and then log onto the link given at the end of this post to listen to an audio clip from his radio talk show that covers the topic of liberty or tryanny.

"Conservatism is the antidote to tryanny precisely because its principles are the founding principles." (Levin 11)

"The Conservative understands that Americans are living in a state of diminishing liberty-that statism is on the ascendancy and the societal balance is tipping away from ordered liberty. In these circumstances, the Conservative should not confuse prudence with timidity. If anything, certainly since the New Deal, the Conservative has too often lacked the confidence and persistence to defend the civil society."(Levin 15)

"As the Statist is building a culture of conformity and dependency, where the ideal citizen takes on dronelike qualities in service to the state, the individual must be drained of uniqueness and self-worth, and deterred from independent thought or behavior. This is achieved through varying methods of economic punishment and political suppression."(Levin 9)

"The industrious, earnest, and successful (Conservatives) are demonized (by the Statists)as perpetrators of various offenses against the public good, which justifies governmental intervention on behalf of an endless parade of 'victims'" (Levin 8)

America today, ". . . is a society steadily transitioning toward statism. If the Conservative does not come to grips with the significance of this transformation, he will be devoured by it." (Levin 193)
