"I thought this book would be similar to The Revolution by Ron Paul. The various subject matters are similar (immigration, social programs, individual rights, free markets, the constitution etc.) but the writing and style are extremely different. I found Levin's writing to be like an attack on the statist whereas Paul, while holding similar viewpoints, didnt attack the left but rather made a strong conservative / libertarian cases while keeping an open mind. The difference is Levin isnt running for president I guess.
Although this book is well researched, based in reason and holds a lot of truth, Levin is so passionate in his disdain for the liberals and the statists, I can't help wonder for a second if his passion is clouding his judgement or at the very least, preventing him from maintaining an open mind."
"This book is subtitled "A Conservative Manifesto", so it's clear what it's about. I don't see it as one which will convert the non-believers, but one which will reinforce the Conservative viewpoint.
Levin sees the ever expanding government as a threat to our historical liberty, and offers his common sense conservatism as the answer to this threat. The FDR Administration is one example of government excess which Levin refers to often. He cites FDR's administration as an example of the wrong direction for our Country. FDR saw the challenge of his Administration as improving the standing of millions of citizens who struggled on meager incomes, who were denied education, opportunity, and whose lives were in despair due to the Depression. FDR's New Deal approach led to an expansion of government and regulations, which Levin generally condemns. Levin stayed consistent in his message, although I believe if I page back through the Chapters, I remember Levin actually conceding that LBJ's civil rights legislation, while too much, may have had a few acceptable aspects.
While occasionally critical of a few Republicans, and clearly critical of liberal Democrats, he doesn't dwell on the labels of Democrat or Republican. His criticism is primarily directed at big-government-loving liberals who he defines as "Statists". If your leanings are conservative, Levin's message will resonate, but if you hold a more liberal viewpoint, and are sympathetic to FDR's message that "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little", you may do better choosing another book."
"This is easily the best book ever written by a right-wing talk radio show host, which probably won't you as very high praise. But, while Hannity, et al. tend to write flag-waiving remainder bin paperweights, this book is a much more serious work. It is also - as of 2009 - the go-to book for a short sharp statement of conservative principles in the social, political, legal, economic and cultural arenas. For conservatives and libertarians, this book is a call to (intellectual) arms, and a handbook for activism and argument. For liberals and progressives, this book is a challenge to their ideology and policy prescriptions. A lot of readers may turn up their nose at a book like this. You should give it a try. It only takes a few hours to read. Not only will you learn something about the intellectual foundations for the "stoopid" conservative movement, you may catch yourself nodding in agreement."
