Libertarian "ideas" will not fix the primary problem with Washington, which is the legal "corruption" of the political process brought on by money and lobbyists.

Also, Mr Levin treats a FRAMEWORK like a sacred invariable document.

Well frameworks exist so you can build things, they are not an end unto themselves.
The people aren't being represented anymore. Let's restore their power and let them decide if they want to fix legal corruption. Right now, the only faction that wants it fixed has no power to do so.

Obama promised us that lobbying was going to be reformed. Has it been? No further proof is needed that Republican and Democrat politicians alike don't want it reformed. There's one option left.

Does he support the entire Constitution or just the parts he likes?

Although I have not read this latest book, from my understanding it calls for the states to organize a constitutional convention to pass the amendments he wants. This is a catastrophically stupid idea. Not just for America, but even for Levin.

There is no constitutional procedure to put limits on what can be proposed at such a convention. You guys are worried about lobbyists and special interest groups now? Wait until you give them a forum where they can propose, lobby for, and enact direct amendments into the Constitution.

Very encouraging to see this many people line up to get their copy of The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic signed. In Long Island NY no less.

I'm nearly half way through it myself. We have to do something to fight back against this out of control monster of a government we've allowed to become so powerful.

Long Island has a population of 7,686,912 according to 2012 census. If it was 70% blue, which would be VERY blue, there'd still be 2306073 people who are red. Now lets claim that only half those are adults (which is a low estimate) and only 0.1% of them would be interested in a book signing, you'd still have over 1000 people.

What I'm saying is that New York has a very high population, you could get 100 people lined up to get Jeffrey Dahmer's signature (yes, I'm accounting for him being daed).

WOW! When you think homer can't go even lower he pulls crap like this. There was zero evidence that this happened and those pieces of shit were lying to make the Tea Party look bad. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this garbage.

Oh and here are the leftists and race baiters like you getting destroyed by American patriots.

So using your logic do we assume that all black people are criminals based on the actions of a few?

A little bit larger then zero. I guess that was Tea Party good will Congressman Cleaver was wiping off his face.

Once again you show yourself to be thinking like a scared teenager. Don't be concerned. If we can get the government reined in and it will take years to do so, there will be a place for you. You won't like it, but there will be a place.

What the fuck are you talking about? You expressed surprise that a traditionally blue area like Long Island had a long line for a far right author. I pointed out that New York has a massive population so you shouldn't be surprised to find supporters of just about anyone willing to line up. Do you even read people's posts before replying?

So in your opinion my post was actually a question regarding the population of Long Island and you thought you'd help me out?

Please show another book signing at that bookstore that had a crowd like the one shown in the video. Heck show a book signing in general that is able to gather a crowd like that.

That was a pretty impressive turnout especially considering its not some universally known best seller.

He supports most of the Constitution which is still better than obama.

Mark Levin isn't even that famous and many people haven't even heard of him yet he was able to get a big turnout like that.

Levin's positions are almost entirely incoherent. He wildly fluctuates between hating the courts for 'legislating from the bench' for striking down laws he likes and then hating the courts for not striking down other laws that he doesn't like. His actual complaint is that the courts occasionally make decisions that go against his preferred policies.

He is like the Deepak Chopra of legal thought and political philosophy. If you already want to believe what he's telling you you will eat up every word. If you are actually well versed in the subject matter you come up scratching your head as to how people could be so easily tricked into believing this crap.
Obviously that is a well-reasoned and rationally derived opinion. I mean, it's not like you have that opinion of EVERY conservative and EVERY conservative, right?

Even a junk mail flyer has two sides, dude.

You should read his latest book. It's the best plan I've seen (only plan actually :)) to restore control to the people as was originally intended.
Actually picked it up at Costco, just haven't had time to read it.

Of course I don't have that opinion of every conservative. Ross Douhat is a well reasoned conservative. Andrew Sullivan is a well reasoned conservative. Colin Powell. Milton Friedman, etc, etc, etc. In fact I think we've even had this discussion before.

I am not surprised that you have omitted information that might threaten your beliefs. This is probably why you believe in the Worldwide Progressive Conspiracy.

None of this changes the fact that Mark Levin has cartoonish and poorly thought out ideas on the law and politics. They are appealing to people who don't know better, much like Deepak Chopra.

He scares these leftist goons and that's why they do everything they can to attack him.

Yeah like I said, we need more people like you just bitching, whining, complaining- not a single idea good or bad, just more bitching and whining 24/7, and then on top of it bitching and whining about anyone that actually HAS an idea, because you'd rather them just bitch and whine too. That's worked out so well, hasn't it? Bitching and whining will fix everything!

I scan though the video and I don't think I see one minority <non white> person in the clip. Maybe a black guy in flannel shirt <not sure>.

LOL Well-reasoned conservatives are those who agree that conservatives are wrong on virtually every issue. Well-reasoned conservatives are those who explain to us why the Republican Party must become the Democrat Party. Or they are dead.

Yup, nothing one-dimensional about that.

No, I know your posting enough to know that you are impossible to reach. I was pointing out to most people that what you called impressive, was in fact not.
Please show another book signing at that bookstore that had a crowd like the one shown in the video. Heck show a book signing in general that is able to gather a crowd like that.

That was a pretty impressive turnout especially considering its not some universally known best seller.
He has the 4th most listened to talk radio show and has written 5 books, at least one of which has spent several weeks atop the best seller list. I'd say he's well known. I've seen crowds far bigger than that before for mediocre celebrities in a much smaller city (Atlanta). I just don't go taking videos of it like it's a big deal because I don't need to masturbate on the internet to feel good about myself.
He supports most of the Constitution which is still better than obama.



Mark Levin isn't even that famous and many people haven't even heard of him yet he was able to get a big turnout like that.

See above about his celebrity. And while I definitely have my complaints about chunks of what Obama has done, from what I've seen of him and yourself, he supports the Constitution more than you do.
