The brillian Levin can only acknowledge ideas that he is the originator of. Not invented here.
I don’t Levin is all that brilliant or original. If one were to read Ayn Rand’s and Nathaniel Branden’s essays in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal written in in 40’s through the 60’s almost all the ideas and exact terminology Levin uses about statism and collectivism and much of his analysis is there plainly stated. In the final weeks before Cruz bowed out Levin was indistinguishable from Medved. I clearly heard Levin pushing total amnesty and he is also in favor of TTP and globalist sovereignty destroying ‘trade’ deals. If those are ideologically purist conservative stances then it is high time for a radical restructuring and redefining of what ideological conservative values are. I do believe the Republicans and conservatives have slowly redefined what they portray a conservative is and putting American culture and sovereignty and the Constitution in it’s rightful preeminent position is now hated nationalism and populism to people like Levin and most people involved professionally in politics.
“The brilliant Levin can only acknowledge ideas that he is the originator of. Not invented here.”
That!
He’ll sometimes even take credit for being the first to make a particular point even when others have done so before him. Levin is the owner of one big, fragile ego.
