Making the case for a civil society

I finally got around to reading Mark Levin's excellent book Liberty and Tyranny a conservative manifesto. I think the reason it took me so long is that I never really was that impressed with Mr. Levin when I listened to his talk radio show. I don't like the way he loses his temper and screams at lefty callers. However, his book is excellent. His use of the term "statist" is so appropriate, and, I think, more accurate than the term "socialist." He makes the case for a civil society led by people with strong conservative principles.
