The top selling book on Amazon (any category)

Apparently this is the book that has taken Amazon by storm and is now no. one

I heard a little bit of hype about it on the radio, has anyone here read it and what did you think?

I picked up this one today, so I haven't read it yet. I don't really like Mark Levin, but not liking someone is not a good enough reason not to knowledgably consider their viewpoints before commenting on them. Besides, I just enjoy reading political lit.

I am waiting for the arrival of this book

I've got that one, too.

Not a good enough reason?

Sure it is. Everyone does it when they decide what programs they watch on TV, or what movies look good to them.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

No they don't. But thankfully I'm not emotionally tied to what other people think.

Media talking heads are not news sources. Who needs to identify with such people to have individual opinions?

I don't. Why do you feel that its necessary?

Mark Levin is not just a radio talk show host. He's also a Constitutional attorney and scholar. I may not like his talk show - he's too caustic for my tastes, but I'll read his book, and decide for myself based on the material before jumping to conclusions. That's what non-judemental people do. It helps one to form well-rounded, well-founded views.

If you like. I bet there's plenty of books, authors, movies and music acts that are not for you.

Angry finger pointing garbage. Its probably right up your alley...

Can we have another in-depth review of a media you didn't listen to, read or see?

That is common with both Pikey and Cleo. They will criticize something they have barely look at. In some cases have not even looked at once. I at least, for example, watched Olbermann a good 15 times before I concluded that all Keith does is spend his time criticizing others and their opposing views. There is also a big difference between discuss / debate vs simply criticizing. Which seems to be the norm nowadays.

That's worth repeating as truth!

If you like. I bet there's plenty of books, authors, movies and music acts that are not for you.

But, I'll try them before I dismiss them as garbage.

Forgive me if I don't believe you.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Forgive me if I don't believe you.

Forgive me that I don't care that you don't believe me.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Forgive me that I don't care that you don't care that I don't believe you.

You have, however, provided a basis for believing that your socio-political views are based on nothing concrete, by your own admission. Thank you for that. That kind of first hand information will come in handy on many ocassions.

Because I don't listen to talk radio personalities?

Try harder. I might care about what you think. But probably not. So I wouldn't get your hopes up.

No, because you feel no need to know about anything you comment on.

Seems to work for you.

But really VW, I thought you knew better than to make assumptions about how other people feel. Your standards are slipping it seems...

It's interesting that the Conservatives are trying to steal some ideals from the Libertarians, and call it "Classical Conservatism" . But, they still hold onto their silly Social Conservatism, where the government should force people to act a certain way... This is not Liberty.

How can a proposed, small, limited government perform the Wars on Terror, Drugs, and Immorality while still preserving this so-called liberty?

I doubt anyone is stealing the play-book from a team that can't seem to even get on the field to play.

Libertarians have had growth but lets be serious, because of demographics they never had a chance in the past and with more and more people becoming accustomed to the Govt nipple, they have no chance in the future (though it would make for interesting politics).
