Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto – By Mark Levin; Radio Talk Show Host
“We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name — liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names — liberty and tyranny.”
“The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty…”
—Abraham Lincoln
April 1864 – In a public speech in Baltimore
Number one for eleven weeks straight on the New York Times best sellers list and counting. This is a must read for all conservatives who want to know how far we have fallen from our conservative beginnings, and how much further we will fall if the liberals in this country are allowed to have their way.
I have ordered this book, and I should get it sometime this week. I am looking forward to reading it. I consider myself a very conservative person, but even I need to brush up on my conservatism from time to time, and I think this book is just the thing to refresh my memory on what it really means to be conservative. I hope that all of my friends buy this book, and that they read it too.
I’ll bet you the New York Times best seller list people cringe every week when they have to put this book back on the list in the number one spot. So let’s all go out and buy this book, even if its just to tick off the New York Slimes people.

Book Review:
Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
Mark Levin’s new book, published today, is essential reading. It is a remarkable work on several different levels. It takes no degree of clairvoyance to predict that it will become an enormous best seller and very soon begin to influence the national political debate.
Liberty and Tyranny artfully presents a harmonious marriage of the timeless with the timely. On the one hand, the book is a thorough yet compact briefing on the major political issues of this era. On the other hand, the author brings to bear the principles of the American Founders and Framers of the Constitution (and the great thinkers who guided them), illustrating, dissecting, and explaining our current political arguments, while enlightening the reader with the genuine wisdom bequeathed to all of us — the sacred trust of the Founders, embodied in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and Federalist Papers, all of which are quoted and applied with insight and precision.
Think of it as an outstanding tutorial in applied political philosophy, and you will begin to grasp the scope of Mark Levin’s achievement. The fact that the book is lucid, unpretentious, and utterly accessible to anyone who cares to focus and think, means that it will elevate the quality of political thought and dialogue across a broad swath of the American populace.
If you care passionately about America, and worry for its future — and who doesn’t, given the current national leadership? — then you owe it to yourself to buy and devour this marvelous work. It is an essential antidote to what ails America at the moment.
Conservatives who read Liberty and Tyranny will be supplied with ample ammunition to outsmart, outthink and out-reason their liberal friends who are brave enough to actually engage in a serious political debate with them.
The overall plan of the book is simple and logical. Chapter One, “On Liberty and Tyranny,” lays out the basic conceptual scheme. Levin contrasts two opposing political philosophies currently in contention: The Conservative versus the Statist. He grounds the Conservative in the values and insights on human nature of the American Founders, and does so economically and convincingly. For the other side of the debate, he quite correctly rejects the label “liberal”, because in current usage the term has become entirely divorced from its literal meaning. He writes:
The Modern Liberal believes in the supremacy of the state…

Do you think my story is good?
Im writing a story bout a 13 year old girl named Jackie
Heres the first chapter:
Yesterday was my birthday and guess what? I’m finally thirteen!!! I’m considered a teenager! That is a HUMONGO deal, im talking extremely big! Oh.. the things I wanna do! Today Syd and I are going to Juicy Couture place to get out hair done and after that were going to Sephora to get our makeup done. I am so excited. Last week I got my haircut to promote my new age! I got side swept bangs and layers. I dont mean to brag but.. I look uhhhmazing! I was in the living room waiting for my mom to get the car keys so we can pick up Syd for our fabulous makeovers! I was super duper excited!!! " I got the keys hun, lets go! " We got up & walked out the door. I sat in the front seat & turned on the radio to 103.7 the Q! I honked the horn 3 times to get Syd to come outside. She ran out the door. She was wearing navy blue denim jeans, a grey and pink button up shirt, and some brown flats. " Hey Jackay! " She jumped in the car and pulled me to the back. " Woah there! " I shouted as she was pulling me to the back.We both laughed. " Cute outfit Syd " I looked down. " Whats wrong Jackiekinz? Syd elbowed me softly. " I’m jealous.." " Are you serious, your outfit looks adorable! " I smiled. " Thanks Syd, i love you! " I said. " I know you do. " My mom parked and opened our doors, " you girls ready? " We both went " Chyea! " My mom smiled and we walked up to Sephora. A tall lady with black thick framed glasses and dark brown hair was waiting for us. " Hi! I’m Debby, i am gonna be your makeup stylist today. Now, which one of you is going first? " Syd nudged me, " birthday girl first! " I looked up and Debby and nervously smiled. I put my hands on the chair and pulled myself up & sat straight in the chair. Debby smiled and picked out some makeup from a pile of makeup. " Whats your name? " I looked up. " Uh.. im Jackie " She got all the makeup ready and started to apple a rosy color on my cheeks. " Pretty name. " Then she got a black liquid eyeliner and slowly put it on my upper eyelid. I closed my eyes for the eyeshadow. She put a shimmery greenish – goldish color, I opened my eyes. " Pretty!! " Syd was squealing. I laughed. She applied some mascara, lip gloss, and a rock star shimmer powder. " Ta Da! " Debby twirled me around positioned the mirror. I glanced at my mom and Syd, their mouths were wide open. I looked in the mirror, and for the first time in my life I actually felt pretty. " Oh hunny! You look absolutely amazing! " My mom gave me a hug when I hopped off the chair. Syd whistled, " You look hot! " I laughed. Syd was awesome. Debby looked at Syd and motioned her to the seat. Syd straightened herself and sat in the chai. She put a bright red blush on her cheekbones. Then she got a clear mascara and sweeped them on her eyelashes. She put a brown eyeliner on her top lid and a light pink cream eyeshadow. Lastly, she put a pink lip gloss and she smoothed a moisturizer over Syds skin to provide " a good base." " I’m done, both you girls look great! Also, if you girls want to buy some makeup just go over there. " She pointed to a spot with shelves of makeup. " Oh and I dont think you girls need foundation, you have flawless skin! Enjoy it while you can " We both looked great.. we both looked thirteen.
Thats it, tell me what you think!
I dont really want a career in writing, I just like to do it for fun! Also this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OMG SOO Not my best. This is probably my worst but I wanted to write it because being 13 is just fun, so I wanted to right about it.
I didn’t indent or start a new paragraph because I had to eat so I typed it really fast
You need to fix it. First, with every quotation you need a new paragraph. Next, separate it more because right now it looks like one big paragraph of random words. Also, your writing more like a teenager than a author, you have to understand some readers don’t want to read something that sounds like a child. Lastly, too many exclamation marks you could just put a period or, if you really want to get your point across, put only one.

I’m in a relationship now – now what do I do? What does "serious" mean?
I’ve been the happy, single girl most my life. I’m nearing my mid 20’s now and the last time I was in one was when i was 16. When I’m single, I’m secure – i know how to be "me", get guys, weed them out, be hard to get..but in a relationship, I’m insecure. I know how to give space but not know when I’m giving too much; I know I shouldn’t expect too much but I should bc i’m a "girlfriend" now. My bf is a keeper; the first "nice guy" i’ve been with. I’m a good girl that appreciates who he is and what he does, though at times I know he’s not perfect. He’s the "nice guy" who’s all about "long term".
I’m in a new relationship yet it feels like we’re an old, married couple. My boyfriend and I were never your typical couple. The stuff couples of 4-6 months go through, we already did. The first time we met, it was very natural and he said he "knew there was a connection". The first time he called me we talked for 6 hours straight and we were comfortable since then. We never spent everyday w. each other, talking 24-7. We’re both independent individuals that have our own lives yet meet halfway – he works full time M-F and I go to school for my healthcare major. As long as we have our late night conversations, i think we’re good. We also have our own "me time" and to be w. friends. I don’t think we were never "infatuated". I had a feeling he was into me when we met and i was right. I never felt the need to "show it off" to people but I’m not ashamed of it. There was a calm security w him i’ve never had w anyone else.
Now things tend to be changing. Now that we’re a "couple" (think it’s been a month or 2), he’s been getting "comfortable"; not so much "taking me for granted" but the romantic levels went down a bit. He’s not trying so hard to get me anymore but i find that he’s opening up more and admitting things that would (or made) him stress out or make him upset. It’s nothing to be worried about but it’s changing. I give him space and don’t text him throughout work but is it giving him the idea that I’m not into him? If I do text him, I don’t wanna come off as needy or clingy or annoy him. Also, i don’t wanna expect we have plans on the weekend – I don’t want him to cut off his "me time" or his "friend time" either but…yet, I do want to spend more time w. him. I’m so confused…I think I’m starting to like/care for him more and when girls do this…we get a bit high maintinence and I don’t wanna do that. Fr. what my older cousins have adviced me, he wants to build our foundation. He sees me as "serious"; therefore being "cautious" (what do they mean by "serious"?) He also wants to wait out on sex b/c "2months is too soon" and our "good connection will grow and we can wait". It’s great but I feel "undesired" from it…he doesn’t wanna go anywhere "too physical, too much". Anyhoo, help please….
My best friend knows him well and said if he’s really fallen in love, he’ll forget his friends and spend all his time w. you. That’s nice but I wouldn’t want him forgetting his friends yet right now…he’s not spending all his time w. me…
There are girls who are one night stands and those who are the marrying kind. He probably sees you as the kind of girl he could one day marry and he doesn’t want to take things too quickly as it could endanger the relationship.
Don’t stress. Enjoy the feelings you have for him, but don’t indulge yourself too much or fantasize about what could be in your future. Take and appreciate one day at a time.
Let him lead and pursue you. Don’t play "hard to get" games; just continue to be honest and open, but don’t volunteer too much about your growing attraction to him unless he asks or seems to have a strong need to know.
Just be patient and let him come fully to you when he’s emotionally ready. That’s not always easy for guys to do, and it’s crucial for the health of your relationship that he get to that point without any additional prodding from you.
HELP! Something is wrong with my skin!?
Okay So My skin right now is super dry! A couple days ago I was just having flaking dry skin. and Then The next day I was outside in the cold air for probably 3 hours straight. when I got home i got in the shower and used neautrogena to wash my face, I normally don’t use that but I used too..
and when I got out of the shower and dry, like 15 minutes later I noticed my skin around my mouth and cheeks area started hurting when I talked. So I went to put on my daily moisturizer, and IT BURNED AND MADE MY FACE RED!! I don’t know what the heck happened! Then I panicked.
And The next day I used my regular facial wash and my other moisturizer, it didn’t burn so much, but then when I applied my makeup, it was soo dry even with my moisturizer!
I have like 4 dry patches on my face! and when I put my foundation you can see my patches, and peeling skin, and my skin is just soo uneven cause of the patches and it gets red and AHH!
Can someone please tell me what to do?!
I tried making a face scrub of Olive Oil (extra virgin), honey, and sugar. It makes my skin soft but I still have dry patches and dry peeling flaking skin! And it burns and gets red with every daily product I use!! I NEED HELP ![]()
Please have Glycerin 100 ml Add 30 ml Lemon juice to it, shake well. Now apply the same at bed time to your face & rinse off in morning. After taking bath please apply Mustard oil with your index finger to the inside area of your navel & massage gently for 1 minute.also apply mustard oil to the soles of your feet & massage gently for 1 minute each.
continue the process for 1 week , your problem will be resolved.
In morning apply Orange juice + Tomato juice +Cabbage juice + Lemon juice + Rose water , mixing equal quantity, to your face & after 1 hour wash your face.
Please do inform me at bhirdayprakash@yahoo.com for further reference.
Who do you consider a terrorist?
After I read the following discussion on terrorism – http://www.geocities.com/ulafrique/on_terrorism.html – I felt obligated to share the article with you. Ronald Reagan once said that, “one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.”
In the 1770s, North Americans resisting British impositions (acts that eventually laid the foundation for “We the people …”) were called terrorists and insurgents by the British. Over the years, several others have been called terrorists and insurgents for simply resisting entities seeking to dictate and/or plunder from the nationals.
Oh, before you start talking about Muslims and Islam, let me set the record straight: I am a Christian and grew up, as a child, in a nation where Christianity and Islam are major religions. All the Muslims in my town lived on my side of the town and some are next-door neighbors. I know that Muslims are somewhat a very communal people, keep mostly to themselves …
… and most have mindset that parallels that of the Christian’s Holiness Pentecostals or the Mormons. I believe what we call the “Muslims are trying to take over the world” is in fact Islam’s version of Christianity’s “to evangelize the world.” Hold on! I am not finished! Did you know that Islam’s Kuran and the Jewish Torah also have accounts of the Christian Old Testament? Did you know that the dramatic hangings and draggings of Western invaders by the Middle Easterners we were informed about are exactly what the Jews are instructed to do, according to the Christian Old Testament, to "infidels"?
Well, I had to put a lid on, since I know that your motto-mouth may be running without brakes. Now, just who do you consider a terrorist?
Instilling fear in people is terrorism, eg. "shock and awe", "all options are on the table".
Anyone who uses force or the threat of force to coerce others into compliance and obedience is a terrorist.
"War is terrorism practiced by the rich.
Terrorism is war practiced by the poor."

I feel like my friend treats some of her friends better than others?
Including me… Every day I go on facebook and she is always posting on her one friend’s wall: Heyyy uhh I kinda love you!!!!!!! and its starting to get really annoying. She RSVP’ed to my friends party, and we called her for an hour straight because she wasn’t there, and she finally texted us: Oh hey, I’m at -insert friend’s name-’s house. We were all so mad that she would just not show up and act cool about it, so my friend took the phone, called her, and asked why she would go to her house, a girl she just started to befriend this year, instead of my friend’s house, who she’s been friends with for years. We asked why she would like her better and choose her over us, and she said she doesn’t like her as much as she likes us. We all knew she was lying so we hung up, but now she’s just being weird. I was helping my friends do a bake sale for a foundation, and we wanted her to come over to us, but she ignored us for this guy she calls a douche bag every day. Then there’s this one girl who she says she can’t stand, but she’s always with her and talking to her, by choice I might add.
Why would she completely turn her back on me and her friends that she says she likes and knows better?
Every time we ask her, she just ignores the question. We even pointed this out to her and she ignores it.
It seems like she’s slowly drifting away from you guys. She probably wants to hang out with some new people, but she’s not breaking off the friendship with you and your friends just in case something goes wrong. Almost like she’s using you, honestly. She also seems like a chronic liar, I mean, it’s pretty damn obvious she likes her new friend more then her old friends. Unless she starts being a better friend, just ignore her, seriously. No reason to be friends with someone who only keeps you around when she needs you. Maybe she’ll change and start being a better friend, and if not, then let her enjoy her new friends.
