I've been reading Mark Levin's book, Liberty and Tyranny, and enjoying it quite a lot. So this afternoon, with nothing better to do, I'm recuperating from an operation after all, I did a YouTube search and listened to a number of posted pieces by Levin.
As a radio talk show host, Mark Levin is an impassioned and shrill conservative voice. He comes across quite angry, especially at ignorance and stupidity. I'm sympathetic. He does have a style that is in-your-face-confrontational. It's important to note in saying that that part of it is because of the talk show trolls that call in with some sort of script who don't want to engage in any sort of dialog, just read their particular screed. Levin cuts them off harshly and abruptly. Some would say he's not a gentleman. Over the years dealing with Liberals however, I've come to see this cry from them to be a gentleman, or be a Christian, or whatever other appeal to soften one's rhetoric is always a one-way street. When you back off and are not confrontational and calling them on their distortions they walk all over you. If you call them on it, then they call you a Nazi. It seems impossible to have a civilized discourse with a liberal. So perhaps I should not be surprised that Levin is shrill, confrontational, and sometimes quite rude. I want to give you a taste, the day before Independence Day on Levin about the prisoners in Guantanamo. If you don't understand the difference between a war and crime in the streets, between military law and criminal law, then perhaps this will help a little. Our society is in a war. The Liberals want to pretend that we caused it, we're to blame, we just need to be nicer, or more ready to make concessions, or roll over and play dead. But it's not true. That is just the standard Liberal tactic when they can't win on the merits of the case — just be nice! Sooner or later just be nice leads to the dissolution of the republic. Here's Mark Levin:
