Last Thursday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) urged Americans to go to Washington today and protest Obamacare. Well, Mark Levin picked up the charge and others joined her.

Today, thousands will pour into Washington to tell Nancy Pelosi and the Congress to send Obamacare to a death panel (that’s section 1233 of the original legislation). If you need details on where to go in D.C. or if you can’t go, but want to show up at your Congresscritter’s local office, go here.

And Americans owe a huge thank you to Michele Bachmann for sounding the call to action.

If you didn’t listen to the Mark Levin show yesterday, you missed one of the greatest openings of a radio show ever. The Levin version of the Obama song was fantastic.

You can get an idea of what it was and a whole lot more by watching this:

The New York Times hasn’t really paid it any attention.

Same with the Washington Post.

In fact, no major media outlets have paid attention to Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto.

Like Michelle Malkin’s Culture of Corruption, the mainstream media just can’t seem to take the time to review or write, other than disparagingly, about conservative books that keep reaching the top of the New York Times’ own bestsellers list.

Nonetheless Liberty and Tyranny has now sold 1 million copies.

Well done Mark.

So here’s the thing: I got an early review copy of Mark Levin’s “Liberty and Tyranny.” I read it. I loved it. I set out to write a sterling review.

Then that tool Hogan stole my thunder. I can do no better and can only refer you to his review.

Getting back into power is not reason enough to stand on our basic conservative principles even though it may be the result. We need more than power-seeking – we need to stand on principle to fight the Statist… to inspire new generations of Americans to look to themselves rather than the State for progress… and to band together in the most noble of earthly causes - to preserve and protect liberty against tyranny.

Put it to you this way — over vacation I read Glenn Beck’s new book. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good book. But it speaks to the measure of Mark Levin’s intellect that, compared to Glenn and many others writing calls to action, Mark was able to condense down and explain for laymen a host of meaty subjects and complicated matters.

And he did so enjoyably. His book really is a call to arms and, at a time Republicans are devoid of ideas, provides a good frame work for advancement — if only the squishes in charge would learn how to read then read his book.

So why am I writing all of this? Well, having dropped the ball on my review after Hogan beat me to it, there’s something now going on worth pointing out.

Without any buzz in the media or glowing New York Times reviews, Mark’s book has sold close to 1 million copies. And ask Barack Obama’s poll numbers keep falling, Mark’s book sales keep rising. Why? Well, Obama is devoid of ideas and Mark is full of them. That’s one reason of many.

If you haven’t gotten it, go buy it. How much did I like it? I got a free copy and I still bought a copy for my Kindle so I can refer to it on the road as I start a major writing project. It really is worth reading through more than once.

David Frum should take a hard look in the mirror if he wants to find the real culprit. 

I was a supporter of President George W. Bush, yet the demise of the Republican Party started during the Bush years and Frum’s former boss deserves a good portion of the blame.  President Bush moved forward on No Child Left Behind (a massive expansion of the federal government into education), the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit (a massive new entitlement program), the so called Troubled Asset Relief Program (which never purchased one troubled asset and bailed out poor business decisions on Wall Street to the tune of $700 billion), and committed an inexcusable verbal blunder when he trashed the free market.  Bush made terrible statements about capitalism when he said “I readily concede I chucked aside my free-market principles” and “I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.”   I hope Frum had nothing to do with writing those stupid phrases that committed irreparable harm to the idea of free market capitalism.

Blaming conservatives is a way for the bedwetters, including but not limited to David Frum, in the Republican Party to shift blame from the moderate wing of the Republican Party and to engage in an overreaction to the events of yesterday.  Senator Arlen Specter decided to join the Democrat Party, because it is the only way he can win his seat back in Pennsylvania, a state that is trending Democrat.  No need to interpret Specter’s crass political decision as the beginning of the end of the Republican Party as we know it.  It is a sad state of affairs that Rush Limbaugh bashing David Frum and his holier-than-thou attitude has infected others in the big tent on the right like a bad case of the Swine Flu.

The evidence is mounting day by day that the left is getting ready to use the new power they have in the Obama Administration and Congress to reinstate something similar to The Fairness Doctrine.  Two Senators recently expressed an interest in providing government mandated “balance” to talk radio.  Liberal Democrats are preparing to use the full force of the federal government to attack conservative talk radio, especially leaders like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Matt Drudge, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and other conservative/libertarian leaders.  

Liberal Senators will use the roadmap written by the left wing Center for American Progress I refer to as the Fairness Doctrine on Steroids that would implement a comprehensive stifling of conservative talk radio. The lefty’s idea is different from the fairness doctrine, yet it would be a more effective tool to stifle conservatives on the radio. So much for the First Amendment.
