In 'Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto,' Mark R. Levin provides a comprehensive analysis of the conservative movement in the 21st century. The book contrasts the principles of conservatism with those of 'statism,' which Levin defines as the longing for complete control of all human activity by a collective group, typically the federal government. Levin argues that the greatest threat to liberty is an all-powerful central government and that the Founders intended to prevent such a scenario through the Constitution. He discusses various issues such as welfare, environmentalism, immigration, and the role of government, emphasizing the importance of individual freedoms, self-reliance, and the dangers of government overreach. The book is structured around the dichotomy between 'The Conservative' and 'The Statist,' highlighting the philosophical, historical, and practical differences between these two ideologies.
In 'Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America', Mark R. Levin argues that the Supreme Court has overstepped its constitutional authority, leading to significant negative impacts on American society. The book details various Supreme Court decisions that Levin believes are egregious, including those related to college admissions, public expression of religion, benefits for illegal aliens, economic socialism, partial-birth abortion, political speech, and rights for terrorists. Levin emphasizes the power and lack of accountability of Supreme Court justices and argues that their decisions often contradict the original intent of the Constitution and the vision of America's founding fathers.
Published in 1964, 'Milestones' (Ma'alim fi'l-tareeq) is one of the most influential works of Sayyid Qutb. Written during his imprisonment, the book is a call for the violent overthrow of governments perceived as non-Islamic to establish an Islamic state. It critiques modern society as being in a state of 'jahiliyyah' (pre-Islamic ignorance) and advocates for the implementation of Sharia law in all aspects of life. The book has been both praised as a groundbreaking work and criticized for its radical and anti-secular views[2][4][5].
Written after his travels in the United States, 'Democracy in America' is a comprehensive study of American society and government. Tocqueville examines the democratic revolution and its impact on American life, discussing topics such as the sovereignty of the people, the role of civil society, the dangers of the tyranny of the majority, and the influence of religion and individualism. The book is a philosophical and political analysis that aims to understand why republican representative democracy succeeded in the United States while failing in other places, and it offers insights into the future of democracy both in America and globally[2][3][4].
On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump deserves great credit for the trillions of dollars he’s bringing into our country from foreign governments and overseas corporations! It’s absolutely unprecedented! Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia included some of the lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists, but the irony is that it was given in the context of a globalist outreach effort to make economic and military deals with and between Middle East monarchies/dictatorships and the biggest of America's globalists/internationalists/corporatists. Also, in On Power, there’s a stark contrast between America’s founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America’s Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Drawing from Alexis de Tocqueville and Jasser’s insights, Mark explores how Islamists, inspired by figures like Sayyid Qutb, aim to dismantle Western society, viewed as ignorant of divine guidance, to impose a rigid “pure Islam.” This clash of ideologies, coupled with the deceptive language of tyrannies like Islamism and Marxism, underscores the battle for liberty and the soul of nations. Later, neocons, many of whom were former Jewish Democrats, left the Democratic Party and adopted a hawkish foreign policy stance. While many are no longer alive, today, some avoid blaming Jews for pushing war, instead pointing to neocons as the instigators. Opposing Iran's nuclear ambitions is patriotism, not neoconservatism, due to Iran's terrorist activities and history of violating agreements. Finally, Ken Hartman, Founder & President of Our Community Salutes, calls in to discuss his national nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to recognizing and supporting high school seniors who plan to enlist in the U.S. Armed Services after graduation. Their goal is to get 250,000 Americans to sign a thank you card to our nation’s newest enlistees in the military.
