"Liberty and Tyranny"

[Philabuster]

I'm hoping that I can buy a copy of Mark's new book tomorrow. I understand that it will be available at bookstores, so I'll try at Borders and hopefully they will have copies available.
I listened to Sean interview Mark tonight on FOX News, and this new book sounds like what we conservatives can use.

[flytheflag]

I'm looking forward to it, also.
Mark describes it as a "conservative manifesto", so your assessment is correct-it's the thing conservatives need!:idea:

I went to Barnes and Noble this afternoon after work, and they were sold out!
I asked them how many they had ordered, and they said about 15!!! Is this
normal? Which side of the political spectrum is Barnes and Noble?

Book stores tend to be extreme leftosts, for example there are a huge number of Barrack Obamas books , most don't sell well, Levin will do well , because remember the bookstores want to make money, now if you're talking about college bookstores that's a different story.

Just started reading The Great One's new book. It's only about 200 pages long, but you just can't fly through it like some novel, instead you have to STUDY it. I have only read the first chapter and I feel like going back and rereading it to get the fullness of what he is saying. It's a joy to read, but it may be like brain surgery without antithetic for a liberal.
I was lucky; Borders has at least 10 copies, but they may be just as left leaning as Barnes and Noble. When I looked at the news magazine section it's loaded with the annointed one plastered all over the usual news rags. But burried way in the back are some copies of National Review. Well, I decided to do something about this: I just moved the National Review copies up front to help the customers get some fair and balanced info.

Just be patient and hang in there fans of the Great One and you will get your copy of "Liberty and Tyranny," Enjoy!

When I go to buy it tomorrow at Barnes And Noble I'm gonna put copies of it in front of all the left wing trash that's out there.

What do you think about that?

I too saw Sean Hannity interview Mr Levin on tv the other night and I was amazed, encouraged and yes..even hopeful! I am rather new to Mark Levin and I was sitting there, watching, listening and feeling this excitment gathering in my bones (so to speak! lol).
I am no political expert but I have been sensing these last few months (especially since November) something has to change..and I don't mean the "change" Obama promised. I wondered if having Obama and all the power hungry liberals in office would cause the American people to become so upset and stirred up that we would start to speak out and unify and make our demands known? I think this is exactly what is happening.. so perhaps yes, things are ugly and yes things are wrong, but if it's getting the Average Mr & Mrs. American to get involved and take back our rightful place, then Hurray! Government should work for us. I am excited about this book. I need this book. I want to know as do many of the other fed up Americans, what is wrong and how to right it!

Thanks Nointed, I am excited that the voice of the American people against the power hungry statist like Obama will be heard. Hang in there, Reagan conservatism is on the come back!
You can sense it listening to the Obama media like MSNBC, they are starting to get tanked out on praise for Obama, and may be loosing that tingly feeling. The two on there that I really can't stand are Rachael Maddow and Keith Obermann.

[basilisk]

I just ordered it on Amazon. I usually get this sort of book from the library and read it, then return it, but for some reason I felt I should actually buy this one.

[Talk2Bill]

yeah they were sold out here too (cedar hill tx). he said he could order it but I said I would just order it on amazon.

i like to turn pro obama books upside down. i did that at a wal mart and some lady told on me, the manager did not seem to care.

Don't worry, you won't regret it. I've been underlining things like crazy. What a wealth of truth about what our government was meant to be by our Founding Fathers, a limited government that follows the Constitution.

[No one of Consequence]

I pre-ordered a copy last month and it arrived in the mail today. I could kick myself for ordering only one! I must go back and order several more copies for friends and famliy. Liberty And Tyranny should be required reading for all. Thank you Mark!



When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. ~ Thomas Jefferson

[Dboyle]

I am bummed. I preordered it, and the darn thing is still in transit. I need knowledge right now.

[No one of Consequence]

From the back cover:

"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."
~ Abraham Lincoln, 1864

wow.. and thats just the back cover! I can't wait to get my copy. Waiting...waiting... waiting... even checked library and there isnt too long of a wait list. I need info. I need to understand.. I just know my country is falling apart and at times, I feel ignorant and helpless. I want to make a difference.

Liberty and Tyranny is one of the greatest books I've ever read. I was absolutely stunned from the first chapter onward.

I listened to Mark on Rush's show and on Sean's. Brilliant interviews.

I am very grateful that Mark wrote Liberty and Tyranny.

Thank you, Great One!

Okay Okay Okay! That's it.. I can't wait for the Postman to ring my bell, (ordered it online). I'm out the door on my way to the book stores. I need it now!

If you have a Sam's Club near you, you can pick up the book for about $13.50. That's where I bought three copies to give away.

You're going to love it, nointed. It's extremely well written, engaging, and lucid.

Thanks Bill, I know what I'll be reading tonight after watching Fox!

[Philabuster]

I am about a third of the way through "Liberty and Tyranny" and I believe this book is a classic of Conservatism--let me take it a step further: I think this is the gospel of conservatism!

An associate of mine at work, who is (or was) an Obama supporter is now, surprisingly, interested in reading "Liberty and Tyranny."

I was a teen in the 1960s and I saw how the Vietnam war protestors helped bring President Johnson to seek retirement. Maybe we conservatives with tea parties and marches on Washington can end this Statist, socialism of Obama and his liberal gang. If Martin L King and his supporters can make the difference that they did, and the left wing hippie Vietnam protesters can make the difference they did, then just think what Conservatives as a movement can do against the Socialist, Statist Tyranny that we face from those in power now.

[PuckHappy]

"Liberty and Tyranny" is number 1 on the iTunes Audio book list! You can listen to a preview at the iTunes store.
After hearing Mark in the Audio preview I plan to now down load it to listen to as I read along since I already bought the book.

I think you should be booted from the store and run your own bookstore if you have a problem with the way they do things...
:boohoo:

Not only do I like to move the conservative periodicals up front, but I ask each bookstore I go in if they have any copies left of "Liberty and Tyranny". Of course, I am told that they are on back order for weeks! I give the clerks this very disappointed look. :pray:
This one clerk said, "I can put you on this list." I said, No thanks, thats okey. (Actually, I fortunately bought a copy the day it came out.) But I am still going to keep asking these clerks.
I think this book is going to be number 1 for a long, long time. Three cheers for Mark!!!

[basilisk]

Still waitin'.

[athelass]

Bakersfield, CA Barnes and Noble sold out for days. Go in and ask for it anyway, Kern County, so they know not to bury it. Anyone know when/where/how Mark will sell signed first editions? They usually preorder at Premiere Collectibles but they still don't have it. Inside info anyone?

The number 1 book in America in all categories,non-fiction,fiction,hardcover and.paperback according to Nielson bookscan.

I pre-ordered mine via Amazon. I just got it yesterday.

I cracked the cover and the got promptly interrupted.

But I am going going away on vacation next week. I am gonna have a blast.

I also purchased Ayn Rand's old masterpiece "Atlas Shrugged."

Package deal (free mailing).

I'm like a kid on Christmas morning!

I am REALLY looking forward to reading Mark's book!

[basilisk]

What's the minimum age requirement for reading this book?

As long as they can read, no age is too young (or too old) for good Americans to start familiarizing themselves, again, with the wisdom we showed in our very roots.

My daughter is three years old. I was thinking about reading it together as a family on family night.

She might be a tad young for the whole set of notions about limited government, liberty, checks and balances, enumerated powers, etc.

On the other hand, it might get her off to a very good start.

[No one of Consequence]

Let her have her childhood. Wait till she's nine.

[Philabuster]

I think I heard Mark tell a caller on his show that copies are on the way to bookstores. It sounds like there should be plenty of copies available.

[basilisk]

It showed up last night and after reading the first chapter or so, I think it's a bit advanced for my daughter.

[Philabuster]

It's written at least a college level. You really can't fly through it. You have to carefully read it and take time to really put some thought into what he is saying.
This is especially true of the quotes from the Founding Fathers Mark uses. They worded and phased things differently and more profoundly than we are use to.

[migbuster]

Have gottin thru the first 4 chapters of the book.. It is heavy reading.

[Philabuster]

Second Week, NUMBER ONE!!!

I wonder how many bookstores are having to painfully keep copies of Mark's book up front. :sick: Money talk, just like any business.

[Talk2Bill]

i got it i have on;y taken the time to read a few pages. But I am taking it to the Doctor's office today. so I hope to get some reading in.

:)) i was reading it when one of the doctors came in. But she did not seems to take note. But someone in the waiting room cocked his head to see what i was reading. And gave a nod. I also read a few parts to my wife. She got annoyed. But then someone else started listing to some music on a cell phone.

I have been waiting for more than a week for my copy. When I went to buy the book in town ALL of the book stores, 8 of them, were sold out. They said the publisher couldn't keep up with the demand, so I ordered 5 of them on amazon. It has been 10 days, and I am anxious and excited for them to arrive!

[basilisk]

This book should be required reading for every political science student in America.

[Kea]

With the EPAs move today, is it to late to slow down what is happening on this global warming CO2 bad science? It looks like Obama and the EPA is saying either pass legislation or we will do it be administrative decree.

[Kea]

Great book! On third read and still discovering new concepts.

[pinkstonj]

I haven read thru all of the post here, but I downloaded a copy to my ipod. You may want to go that way

[basilisk]

Finished the book. I would have stated a few things differently (especially on the topic of immigration), but I can't say there were any major things I disagreed with.

[electricianron66]

I think you should be booted from the store and run your own bookstore if you have a problem with the way they do things...


That's not a bad idea. Then when you learn how to read and come to my store I can kick you right out. How do you like that? :boohoo:

[MikeNolan]

Sounds like an Al Franken book for the neo cons

Correct, I will add it should be required reading in every middle school and high school.

[Liability]

Sounds like you have less than zero clue.

First of all, it doesn't SOUND like any such thing.

Second of all, Al Franken, the liberoidal troll, writes infantile gibberish. Mark Levin writes scholarly material.

Thirdly, the book was not written by or for any so-called "neocons" whatever that meaningless term has come to mean today. It was written BY a conservative (nothing neocon about him) primarily FOR conservatives and it deals with the political ideology of conservatism, not neocon crap.

In short, you have achieved the epitome of wrong. 100% wrong. Congratulations.

You FAIL.

[noko]

Well I finally was able to get a copy, ahmm at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart just went up a notch in value for me. Now Mr Levine was standing next to Mr King (Larry type). Some Obama books where with the children books but I didn't pay attention.

Anyways this is really good stuff and yes really well written and thought out. I am only on chapter 2 but the book has be glued.

Now Atlas Shrugged I read 3 or 4 times when I was in my teens. What a masterpiece, John Galt, Franciso and Rearden, forgot her name the Railroad Queen. Anyways that was over 30 years ago. Ayn Rand could really write and play out principles in a story. Anyways these two books, Liberty and Tyranny and Atlas Shrugged should be taught as much as possible in High School and Colledges across our great nation.

[kat]

Check this out....... while listening to Levin a while ago he mentioned this:

Mark Levin is a neocon. Just listen to him talk about foreign policy.

In celebration of the 4th of July, I offer this essay in defense of our greatest founding father, Thomas Jefferson. I feel Mr. Jefferson’s reputation has been unfairly eviscerated by a misrepresentation of the DNA results in the Hemings controversy. The exhumation of discredited, prurient embellishments has not only deluded readers, but impoverished a fair debate. In fact, with the possible exception of the Kennedy assassination, I am unaware of any major historical controversy riddled with so much misinformation and outright inaccuracies as the sex-oriented Sally Hemings libel.
The “Sally” story is pure fiction, possibly politics, but certainly not historical fact or science. It reflects a recycled inaccuracy that has metastasized from book to book, over two hundred years. In contrast to the blizzard of recent books spinning the controversy as a mini-series version of history, I found that layer upon layer of direct and circumstantial evidence points to a mosaic distinctly away from Jefferson. My research, evaluation, and personal interviews led me to one inevitable conclusion: the revisionist grip of historians have the wrong Jefferson--the DNA, as well as other historical evidence, matches perfectly to his younger brother, Randolph and his teen-age sons, as the true candidates for a sexual relationship with Sally.
A monopoly of books (all paternity believers) written since the DNA results have gone far beyond the evidence and transmuted conjecture into apparent fact, and in most instances, engaged in a careless misreading of the record. My new book, IN DEFENSE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON (Thomas Dunne Books, 2009), definitively destroys this myth, separating revisionist ideology from accuracy. It is historical hygiene by pen, an attempt to marshal facts, rationally dissect the evidence and prove beyond reasonable doubt that Jefferson is completely innocent of this sordid charge:
· the virulent rumor was first started by the scandal-mongering journalist James Callender, who burned for political revenge against Jefferson. Callender was described as “an alcoholic thug with a foul mind, obsessed with race and sex,” who intended to defame the public career of Jefferson.
· the one eyewitness to this sexual allegation was Edmund Bacon, Jefferson’s overseer at Monticello, who saw another man (not Jefferson) leaving Sally’s room ‘many a morning.’ Bacon wrote: “…I have seen him come out of her mother’s room many a morning when I went up to Monticello very early.”
· Jefferson’s deteriorating health would have prevented any such sexual relationship. He was 64 at the time of the alleged affair and suffered debilitating migraine headaches which incapacitated him for weeks, as well as severe intestinal infections and rheumatoid arthritis. He complained to John Adams: “My health is entirely broken down within the last eight months.”
· Jefferson owned three different slaves named Sally, adding to the historical confusion. Yet, he never freed his supposed lover and companion of 37 years, ‘Sally Hemings’ from her enslavement, nor mentioned her in his will.
· Randolph Jefferson, his younger brother, would have the identical Jefferson Y chromosome as his older brother, Thomas, that matched the DNA. Randolph had a reputation for socializing with Jefferson's slaves and was expected at Monticello approximately nine months before the birth of Eston Hemings, Sally’s son who was the DNA match for a “male Jefferson.”
· The DNA match was to a male son of Sally’s. Randolph had six male sons. Thomas Jefferson had all female children with his beloved wife, Martha, except for a male who died in infancy.
· Until 1976, the oral history of Eston’s family held that they descended from a Jefferson "uncle." Randolph was known at Monticello as "Uncle Randolph."
· Unlike his brother, by taste and training Jefferson was raised as the perfect Virginia gentleman, a man of refinement and intellect. The personality of the man who figures in the Hemings soap opera cannot be attributed to the known nature of Jefferson, and would be preposterously out of character for him.
