None of the MSM outlets has bothered to mention the book yet. Funny, they'll celebrate a book by a half wit like Hillary or Algore months before it even comes out.

So far, the book is brilliant.

“None of the MSM outlets has bothered to mention the book yet.”

That is incredible.

However, I’ve been grateful that the leftist bastids who practice character assasination HAVEN’T make Mark a household name.

Levin rocks, and I am very proud of my signed copy of L&T.

I havent finished reading it yet, but what I’ve read has been excellent.

Reading it now...

It has a lot of historical, literary and Constitutional references...not a book to blow through, although it is interesting.

I cannot see how a Liberal could get excited by de Toqueville, Paine, Jefferson or Adam Smith references.

It SKEWERS the Leftists (he uses “Statist”) in basically a literal and figurative juxtaposition that the Left defiles and works against what the Fouding Fathers imagined.

So far, great information.

I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon. It was mailed on the release date. Still waiting for USPS to deliver it.

Levin rocks. I would invite him into my fighting position anytime.

The MSM never stage balanced discussions of conservative positions.

Levin's books have opened up the thinking of the founders for me and my children. But I'm disappointed that he doesn't illuminate some of the most insightful thinking of the founders on the importance of allegiance in a commander and chief. John Jay, Madison, Washington, depended upon the remarkable minds of Gottlieb Liebniz, Emerich de Vatel, when Jay insisted that Washington include a requirement that our president be “natural born” - meaning citizen parents.

Our current leader does not meet this requirement. Not only did his father never hold allegiance to the United States, his mother spent most of her working life in the Middle East, almost two decades in Indonesia and Pakistan. About this there is no doubt. How could her son have the bond with the United States our founders thought so important as to require it for just the President and Vice President.

Everyone is afraid, or misinforms of the true significance and meaning of “natural born”. It is not an antiquated notion. Men's allegiances are not easy to ferret. This was the best effort of the founders. We have ignored it, potentially at our peril. I fault Levin for not explaining this subtle constitutional principle with the passion he has shown for our liberty in both of his books.

The complexities of who should have asked, and who now has the legal window to question Obama’s qualifications. Separation of powers was designed for good reasons, and is probably what Obama’s team counted on keeping him in office for a while.

The best analysis I've seen is by a very liberal former lawyer, Leo Donoffrio, who has given up trying to fight the legal system. He does not impugn justices. They no longer have a remedy, and thus cannot take the case except on appeal. If anyone failed, it is probably Congress, which addressed McCain's non-natural-born status last year. The cost of giving up is too great for us; the least we can do is to clarify the issue - removing it from the realm of conspiracy theorists. One doesn't need to find a birth certificate. The importance of allegiance for our leader couldn't be more clear. The president wants another country, and was not born with an allegiance to the one his mother left as a young woman.

I pre-ordered it on Amazon and read it this weekend. It’s magnificent. He sets forth a new “Contract with America”. Now we just need to find our new Reagan.
