Book Review, "The Dark Side" Jane Mayer's Gripping Analysis of the Quest for Actionable Intelligence




By Frank Hewitt


There are books that fill your thoughts like a fine multi-course dinner, to be savored, digested slowly, and remembered fondly. Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny was one particular of these books. And then there are books that expand your thoughts, like a fantasy feast so extraordinary that its sweet, succulent tastes appear surreal, never ever to be forgotten. Mark Levin's Ameritopia is one of these books.

Levin begins by dissecting the suggestions of those wonderful thinkers most responsible for influencing our Founders as they conceived America's government. Levin doesn't basically mention names such as Locke, Montesquieu, and Tocqueville, and then toss a couple of inspiring quotes at the reader. Levin correlates their concepts with where they fit into the founding of the United States of America.

Levin details these philosophers' influence on Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin as they drafted the Declaration of Independence. He explains their impact on Madison when framing the Constitution in common, and the Bill of Rights in particular. Levin explores Alexis de Tocqueville's, Democracy in America, as the French scholar reminds Americans of their uniqueness in the world, and his hope that they sustain their distinctive values and their commitment to liberty and limited government.

And coming during this grave election season, and with our liberty precariously perched in the balance, Ameritopia couldn't have been greater timed. I will shout this book's praises to all who will listen, and most most likely, to some who won't. This book is an instant classic. It's too negative, as Levin says later in the book, that time constraints prevented him from listing the further crimes against liberty committed through the last century by the progressives, statists, and collectivists.

These miserable malcontents present themselves as saviors who would "rescue" us from the "mistakes" our Founders made. They put their warped notion of shackling mankind with the chains of massive government above that of liberating the individual for the limitless benefit of mankind. They seek to-how did one good collectivist put it?-Fundamentally transform America. They would happily jeopardize what-how did 1 wonderful American put it?-The last greatest hope of man on earth.
