Last Sunday's New York Times reported that “Mr. Obama will confront resentment over American-style capitalism and resistance to his economic prescriptions when he lands in London. ... [H]e will be tested in face-to-face meetings by the leaders of China and Russia, who have been pondering the degree to which the power of the United States to dominate global affairs may be ebbing. ... The American banking collapse, which precipitated the global meltdown, has led to a fundamental rethinking of the American way as a model for the rest of the world.”
This may seem an odd beginning to a review of Mark Levin's spectacularly well-timed and vital new book, “Liberty and Tyranny.” But it catches perfectly the always present instinct to strive to crush liberty by those who have neither the courage nor the capacity to exercise it. The dignity of free men and women is a constant moral reproach to those who chose or are compelled not to live in such dignity. Each time a free people suffer some temporary material reversal - such as 1929 or now - the enemies of individual freedom and liberty offer up some substitute for it that goes by many names but ultimately devolves toward tyranny.
That is the vital lesson my friend Mark Levin instructs us on in his new book, which is already a best-seller in America - and also should be so in London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow and Beijing. Individual freedom should be a universal blessing.

Yep. Our Dear Leader is absolutely bound and determined that no one and nothing will stand in the way of flushing the Western way of life down the toilet. And, both near and far, it has to be admitted that there are tens - and perhaps hundreds - of millions throughout Europe and North America who are eager to stimulate and/or abet the West’s suicide.
I searched it...what can I say?
Obama is a symptom of the moral decay and weakness of current Western culture. Our traditional adversaries, Russia, China and Islam will exploit the weakness to the fullest. Good things do not await the world.
who have been pondering the degree to which the power of the United States to dominate global affairs may be ebbing. ...
Just because we temporarily lost our sense and allowed the socialist totake over the cuirrent Government does not mean that America or its military is weak. Obama is NOT America. We are still here..
