Not Your Daddy's Republican
Mark Levin is an outstanding scholar and intellectual force multiplier for liberty. Having dedicated his life to defeating the Hobbesian leviathan that resides within our national government (and plenty of state governments mind you), I personally admire his steadfast defense of liberty and the constitution. Many of my libertarian friends might be skeptical of his intellectual prowess, merely writing him off as another "neocon." This is an incorrect, and intellectually lazy, assumption which flippantly discounts Levin's commitment to liberty. So, for any libertarians out there that are not sure whether Levin is a champion of liberty and a true intellectual, I encourage you to read Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America. We are all on the same side here. The Liberty Amendments provides hope, direction, and an attainable goal for all lovers of liberty, conservative and libertarian alike. What is that goal? To use the second method found within Article V for amending the Constitution through the States. I did not realize that this could be. I thought that the only way for a Constitutional amendment to become part of the Constitution is for them to be introduced in the legislature which must support it with a 2/3 vote and then ratified by 3/4 of the states. Not so, explains Levin. This is what statists fear most: the states uniting against the national government to amend the Constitution and restore limited government and begin an exodus from the post-Constitutional era into the Constitutional era. This should be a rally point for conservatives and libertarians who can appreciate Levin's original premise and intellect that produced this first-rate scholarship and provides fuel for the torch of liberty.
