You should stop listening to Levin. He calms me down. His style may be a bit too rich for your nervous system. How so? I preached all he expresses over the years on this thread and decades before(way before Rush) when most here thought I was daft.

You should stop listening to Levin. His style may be a bit too rich for your nervous system. One of the things I admire most about Levin is his stomach for fighting. He goes on and on daily for years on end about things that are very elemental and basic to the human condition. Liberty, tyranny, freedom and commerce. He cites examples of where the libs drive the train off the tracks and then the price we all pay for their destructive policies. I simply don't have what he has. I don't have what he has. If I were in his position I, long ago, would have said "F all of you, I'm going fishing." I suspect that he has more compassion than I do and doesn't give himself the option to fish. Contrast Levin with Michael Savage: Savage: (I'm paraphrasing) "Ohhh did I tell you I have a new book out? It's truly fascinating and in my 87 years as a doctor of herbal remedies and my 42 years spent with the unknown tribal peoples of where I cannot tell you, this is perhaps my finest work though you can always buy my previous works which are voluminous and awe inspiring in their own right. Shall we play some oldies? Yah man! That cat can really blow!" Here's a sample of what I get with Levin: Levin: "Try and become better." "In a civil society you must have a moral order." "Don't let little setbacks derail your efforts." "Conservatism represents the founding principles." "So the right to privacy means everything and nothing." "The biggest influences on my life were and are my mom and dad." "if there's an opportunity to pursue your goal, recognize and seize it." "Don't let negative people or negative responses deter you. Learn from life's experiences." "When justices veto legislative acts based on personal policy preferences, that's tyranny." “Mr. President, please reject the Left's current efforts to influence your selection. Your political enemies wish you ill.” "My recommendation to teens is this: try different things, decide what you enjoy and what motivates you. Then pursue it." "The civil society is what he we call organized liberty or the social compact, and there are various elements to it, and this is the heart of conservatism." "I realized that conservatism was the philosophy that best suited me, with its emphasis on individual liberty, personal responsibility, and merit." "Activist justices come in many stripes but, as a rule, they use their lifetime positions to impose by fiat that which should be decided through the democratic process." "The only thing that makes life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness unalienable is the belief in a Creator, not the belief in man or some government." "When justices seize authority from the other branches of the federal government, as well as state and local governments, under the rubric of judicial review, that's tyranny." "I keep hearing, "Well, there's the social conservatives, the free market conservatives, and the national security conservatives." No, there are not." I'm no mental giant. If fact I'm pretty much a spectator in a lot of these discussions but I do know when I hear ideas that stir something in my core that I believe to be true. I get some of that here and I get some of that from Levin, Ben Carson, Ayn Rand, Hayek, etc. I've read your posts and I think you probably sense the same thing that I do, that men will put themselves through a lot of pain pursuing what they want life to be rather than making good things out of what it is.
