Re: Mark Levin's new book out today...."Liberty and Tyranny" - I urge you all to call and order one ASAP. I called one of the largest B&N book stores in the area to hold a copy, and they were already sold out! Book just came out today. This store is BIG, and they had only ordered 25, and now have put in a short order of 25 more. I told the gal I spoke with that that wasn't going to be enough, and that the Seattle area bookstores are so used to having Liberal reading materials, that when a really good author on the other side of the fence,( who really does know the Constitution), they don't have enough. I called one other store, where the guy held one for me today, only for the day, because there were only mine and two others available...they too have ordered another short order. It gave both he and me a laugh because the chain had so badly estimated the market for some truth, for a change. From Amazon: Liberty and Tyranny – by Mark R. Levin amazon.com Product Description Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times bestselling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, Men in Black, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir Rescuing Sprite, Mark R. Levin now delivers the book that characterizes both his devotion to his more than 5 million listeners and his love of our country and the legacy of our Founding Fathers: Liberty and Tyranny is Mark R. Levin's clarion call to conservative America, a new manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century. In the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is now. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do in the end stand for liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society -- in short, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future, Levin writes "conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are our founding principles." And in a series of powerful essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom. As provocative, well-reasoned, robust, and informed as his on-air commentary, Levin's narrative will galvanize readers to begin a new era in conservative thinking and action. Liberty and Tyranny provides a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for revitalizing the conservative vision and ensuring the preservation of American society. About the Author Mark R. Levin is a nationally syndicated talk radio host and president of Landmark Legal Foundation. He has also worked as an attorney in the private sector and as a top adviser and administrator to several members of President Reagan's cabinet. The author of the New York Times bestselling books Rescuing Sprite and Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America, Mark holds a B.A. from Temple University and a J.D. from Temple University School of Law.

Sidelight on Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny"-B&N has sold out all the books they ordered for all their Seattle area stores today, first day the book is out~! Seattle is a highly Liberal bastion, so it just tickles me.... Maybe more folks than just us here are seeing some things they aren't in favor of either...Hopefully! PS....Also I noted that they still have LOTS of copies of the various Obama books...Including a small one I didn't know about...His Inauguration Address.... Maybe the Obama Team thought the sales would go to the next campaign...
