Thank you for being the first person I know of to read my blog. I have not read "Liberty & Tyranny," but I do know that Mark Levin supports both wars and torture (or "enhanced interrogation techniques," which is also what the Nazis called it – not kidding). I see war (especially unconstitutional wars of empire) as the most detrimental thing in the world to liberty. The United States has essentially been in a state of perpetual war since 1898, which is one of the reasons we are so in debt. I look at torture as the most inhumane, depraved thing ever concocted by man. Please take a second look at Mr. Levin, and the definition of conservatism. Also, I think you would be interested to look up Ronald Reagan's budget deficits.

Glad you guys liked the books I've recommended.

Anonymous, Levin's book is outstanding and although I agree more should read it, it was on the best seller's list for a long time and still doing well in sales. But I hear you...its a fantastic read and more people NEED to get their hands on "Liberty and Tyranny". It explains in plain and simple English what the traditional ideas/values/principles of this country are.

Thanks again guys.

Moeller, what did you think of Levin's book? I loved it and cannot for the life of me understand why more people are not reading/talking about this book!

Hey, I found your site on Acton's blog and LOVE that you put a reading list on here! People, read these books!

I have never read Heretics, but after your quotes from it in your Acton piece I absolutely will.

Thanks!

This is quite a list, RJ. I've read Atlas Shrugged (And highly recommend it), but the others I am looking forward to reading. Thanks for the suggestions.
