The Undeniable Genius Of Mark Levin
Elective Decisions ^ | 06/12/09 | Chris Davis

Posted on 06/12/2009 3:57:26 PM PDT by writer33

It cannot be overstated that Mark R. Levin is a genius. It is clearly undeniable. For those that listen to his daily radio program, it is crystal clear, and he is largely responsible for raising the IQ’s of his listeners. If we’re lucky, we have someone come along that defines conservatism, its principles, making the ideology easy to comprehend for all to read.

Liberty & Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto is exactly just that kind of book. It has clearly defined conservatism for everyone that reads the book. Its content is far above the current standard of books in the market today. This explains exactly why it’s been on the New York Times bestseller list for ten out of eleven weeks, and exactly why Mark R. Levin is an undeniable genius.

I agree. He’s become an essential source of information for me.

He is my favorite talk show host by far. Always makes me laugh and is very informative. Really enjoyed Liberty and Tyranny. Its extremely timely and was a good predictor of the things Obozo was going to do.

Thank me!

michael the mouth and mark blabber mouth treat their callers like sh!t

and oh, how that helps the public discourse and the conservative cause

Folks - if you don’t know yet, there is a dial & power switch on the radio. Use it, when necessary. Turn the radio off & break the addiction.

I read his book about a week after it came out.

It was fine. I have never heard the man on radio.

His program must be pretty good, because I cannot perceive why speaking sense qualifies someone as a genius.

Perhaps he is a genius, (I do not know) but I must say that I did not learn anything really new by reading his recent book.

I do turn them off when they rant, rave and oh, the whine, but being brutally honest comes with the territory of not wanting to waste your time listening to idiots. That’s why I never call them! :)

Did you read Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism? It’s an exhaustively researched work of history that sheds great light on this administration.

You sound like one of the caller Marc would’nt suffer through. Snivel snivel..Public discourse...civil..sniffle , sniffle. Levin is one of the conservative stalwarts and has the pedigree and experience to speak intelligently. But I guess being the board contrarian qualifies you as the genius.

Mark seemed too raw when I first started listening to him, but I've learned so much about your Constitution from him!

He is a genius, and we are lucky/blessed to have him broadcasting.

Yes, as well as others.

After all, the libs have so many other media friends to embrace.

When I can, I listen to all conservative radio...sift out what I don't agree with and come up with a mutual opinion... mine and theirs.

I throughly enjoyed “Liberty and Tyranny.” I highly recommend it to anyone that cares about what is happening to our country. I find Levin to be a better writer than talk show host. He is a little too abrasive for me at times. It is the same reason why I cannot stand to listen to Savage although Mark is not anywhere as caustic as Savage. I do agree that Levin is a genius, and this is crystal clear in his writings.

The downside is that Levin does not give me much hope for the future, especially when it comes to the Supreme Court and the US Constitution. We are no longer a nation of laws, but of men. I cannot see how we will ever recover the nation of our founding fathers.

Yes, Rush Limbaugh is a special gift to freedom. Apparently Wilcoe is good, but I haven't listened to him yet.

After all, the libs have so many other media friends to embrace.

LOL, all they do, is 'embrace' each other.
Stratos Dwellers, if you ask me. Us Troglodytes can eat dirt.

....come up with a mutual opinion... mine and theirs.

You didn't learn anything new because you are inordinately well-read. Most people are not that well-read. The book is a good one-stop shop to get caught up.

It's needed. Conservatism 101. Someone who can explain the ABCs of conservatism in concise English prose with logic, history, and common sense. Making the case against statism.

I couldn't get over how calm she was discussing this on the various MSM outlets.

Is Letterman had said something like that about my daughter, I would be furious, and showing it.

She is definitely Presidential material.

Actually if Letterman said anything about my daughter I would consider the source, but if it was someone close I'd pounce all over them.

Do I need to define a reply as to why I would turn savage or levin off at times? I do when they rant, rave, and whine, but are brutally honest, and thus, seemingly treat their “idiot” callers like they do, because it is a waste of their time to listen to the stupidity. Is that simple enough for you?

The libtards don’t consider the source.

Heck, the people who would laugh at these jokes probably think of Letterman as a friend, and a good guy.

"Did you read Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism?"

No.

I am a NR subscriber for a number of years now, and I read a lot of editorials & columns on line and off. Goldberg is terrific.

I will be looking up that book.

Thanks for the note.

We take it back. Get into power and implement an agenda, a conservative agenda just as Reagan did, rolling back decades of liberal policies from the New Deal.
