  <default_description>Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a &lt;I&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestselling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, &lt;I&gt;Men in Black&lt;/i&gt;, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir &lt;I&gt;Rescuing Sprite&lt;/i&gt;, Mark R. Levin now delivers the book that characterizes both his devotion to his more than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers: &lt;I&gt;Liberty and Tyranny&lt;/i&gt; is Mark R. Levin's clarion call to conservative America, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century.&lt;P&gt;In the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is &lt;I&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do in the end stand for liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society -- in short, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future, Levin writes &quot;conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles &lt;I&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; our founding principles.&quot; And in a series of powerful essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom.&lt;P&gt;As provocative, well-reasoned, robust, and informed as his on-air commentary, Levin's narrative will galvanize readers to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action. &lt;I&gt;Liberty and Tyranny&lt;/i&gt; provides a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for revitalizing the conservative vision and ensuring the preservation of American society.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Probably the best book I have read recently for my <strong>liberal</strong> friends to read to understand conservatism, and why we believe the &quot;state&quot; is not your friend.<br/>For my <strong>unaffiliated or independent</strong> friends, a great read on why you can't stay on the sidelines.<br/>For my <strong>libertarian</strong> friends, a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59751859">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is easily the best book ever written by a right-wing talk radio show host, which probably won't you as very high praise. But, while Hannity, et al. tend to write flag-waiving remainder bin paperweights, this book is a much more serious work. It is also - as of 2009 - the go-to book for a short ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72546606">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Haven't read it yet, but I'm going to buy it tomorrow. I seriously worry about the future of our personal liberties. I do not want to be slowly assimilated into a socialist society. I don't believe in big government and I choose not to be passive anymore.

    <body><![CDATA[This book is not meant to be an exhaustive book on conservatism nor the constitution, it does however touch on all the important topics that we need to face head on today, fighting for the conservative brand of freedom, which as far as I can tell there is no liberal brand. <br/>In 10 Chapters the b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68603936">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was awesome! It should be a must-read for every voter in America. Although the subtitle says &quot;Conservative,&quot; it's not what you think. Far from Hannity and Limbaugh right-wing supremacy, this book is above partisan politics and reveals what true conservatism really is.

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this. It wasn't so much the ideas, but the way in which it was written. Obviously this book is for those that are already in a Conservative mind set. Because Levin so blatantly detests any liberal ideal he ostracizes anyone who may be on the &quot;fence,&quot; like myself.  <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75543471">more...</a>]]></body>
