I am purchasing a copy of Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin. I heard it is a fantastic piece of modern conservative literature (and Mark is the man) but I want to read some opposing views as well. What would you Liberals suggest to be the Liberal equal?
Do you remember the outrage from the Left when Beck used mild humor to make similar points?Actually now that you have made me think about it possibly some of the very serious points he makes would be better delivered and therefore accepted by those who do not currently share them if there was just less arrogance and whining or at least the appearance of such.
lol
Seriously nothing? I wanted to delve into the liberal psyche, but maybe it really is as shallow as I feared...
I hope for your sake that Mark Levin is easier to read than listen to. :lol:
Nothing personal but I just find his voice (and style) a bit annoying so I figured it may actually be easier on the ears in printed form.

Then again the arrogance and whining which seems so popular with the people normally delivering the conservative message (in media etc) could be part of why your not getting any responses from the opposing team.
Stop seeing the world through a Communist A vs Communist B false paradigm!
If you want to balance out your perspective, read some libertarian / Anarcho-Capitalist books instead.

We might just as well keep going with anger and derision.

I used to support anarchy, then i grew up (true story)
Although I intend to read some Libertarian literature after these books.
I have never heard of Mark Levin. so his "equal" means nothing to me- it might be a very low standard for all I know about him.
To be honest, I think Liberty and Tyranny was mediocre at best. If you want the original and better version read: Conscience of a Conservative by Goldwater.
Levin does have the most annoying voice in the world.
I recently read two great liberal books; both by the same author, Thomas Frank.
What's the Matter with Kansas
The Wrecking Crew
Not so much on the Merits of liberal idealogy, but where conservative ideology is false in premise and fails often when applied to the U.S. system. Additionally, shows why so many Republicans are NOT conservative when in office.
I dont need a Liberal to tell me about conservatism, or sway my view, or tell me how republicans dont represent my view, Or where Conservatives went wrong, I know these things, those books would be a waste of money. I want a book that represents the Liberal Ideology, does that exist?
I listed several, guess you missed my post. Here's some more:
Why We're Liberals by Eric Alterman
Moyers on Democracy by Bill Moyers
A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
Political Liberalism by John Rawls
I've never heard of Levin's work. Is it very intellectual like Kirk, Nisbet's or Weaver's? I just bought Christianity and culture which contains TS Elliot's The idea of a Christian society and Notes towards a definition of culture which seem excellent so far.I am purchasing a copy of Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin.

Liberals don't really churn out hate books like those on the right, so we usually read what's in the other 99% of the bookstore.
So many great books , but to focus on "liberal" here's a good sampling:
The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Wellstone
Moyers on Democracy by: Bill Moyers
The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein
The Great Unraveling by Paul Krugman
Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative by David Brock
God's Politics by: Jim Wallis
And anything by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Frank Rich, Thom Hartmann, Eric Alterman, Gore Vidal, Amy Goodman, David Corn, Joe Conason, Lou Dubose, Jeremy Scahill.
And the best liberal periodical with great liberal writers is The Nation | Unconventional Wisdom Since 1865
