Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto lays out a vision for America that is rooted in the Constitution and in the Founding Fathers’ vision of strictly limited government and individual self-reliance. As such, its message stands in stark contrast to the agenda being advanced by President Barack Obama, which includes a government takeover of General Motors and a government makeover of the entire U.S. health care system.
I don’t know why they haven’t reviewed this book but I think if he really wanted to know he would have asked them. Furthermore, I am not interested in blindly following ideology whether it’s on the left or the right. I am interested in what’s going to make people’s lives better. I am interested in being pragmatic and doing what works. There is something to be said about self-reliance of the individual but that is not what these corporations want for themselves. They are interested in free enterprise for individuals and protecting and maintaining the status quo and corporate welfare.
Look at the drug bill, what nerve these companies have trying to prevent people getting a better price for medicine by purchasing medicines from Canada. And yet when it suits them we are supposed to allow ourselves to be brainwashed with this free enterprise nonsense so they can make more money. They are for free enterprise and self-reliance of individuals when it makes them more profitable. But people buying generic drugs from Canada, they have to block that from happening because it means they make less money, even though it’s free-trade and they are supposedly in favor of free trade. I am so sick and tired of this hypocritical bullshit.
The truth is Bush is the one who was the tyrant when he was in office with his patriot act and all the other nonsense. I’m sick and tired of wasting my time with irrational right wing crap. The truth is these loons think the American government is illegitimate and they only have to answer to a higher authority which is God. That’s what they believe and it’s about time to call them out on this crap.
Introducing competition in health care with a single player option will reduce healthcare expenses, reduce the budget deficit, cover everybody with affordable health-insurance, reduce corporate profits for health-insurance companies and result in Obama being reelected to the White House with a stronger majority in the House and Senate. That’s the real reason Republicans are doing everything they can to prevent real healthcare reform.
One final thought, as Ernie Anastas would say, “keep plucking them chickens.’

NEW YORK TIMES most influential Sunday sections — the NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW and the WEEK IN REVIEW.
You realize of course, that many New Yorkers point to these sections when people ask where are the NY Times Sunday cartoon pages.
Preaching to the choir who, based upon the inability to accomplish anything positive even with a filibuster proof majority, revert to their usual MO - someone else to blame. It is entertaining watching them squirm, finger point, and, especially in NY concerning the Governorship, self destruct.
But enjoy your reading and your head bobbing.

A source so "influential" that a book they didn't bother to review #1 for seven weeks on those same pages, and managed to sell a Million copies to a "dying" group. Or maybe it was purchased by those on the liberal side of the aisle doing a WC Fields reading the Bible impression; "Looking for loopholes".
Without ever having been reviewed by either the New York Times or the Washington Post, Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto has now sold one million copies. It debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best seller list and has remained in the Top Ten on that list for 24 straight weeks.
The image of the three monkeys, hearing, seeing, speaking, nothing positive or trending conservative is the image provided by the NY Times.
