		On the face of it, turning Tea Parties into a federation is a good thing from my perspective as a staunch advocate of federation.  However, this movement towards &#8220;Federation&#8221; actually reinforces my earlier criticisms of the Tea Parties as special interest groups.  It is really akin to putting lipstick on a pig.
For those who don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

First, I would like to qualify my previous answer to question #2.  I said markets were necessary for the middle class.  I would add that free markets are best.  [...]]]></description>

		You might classify it under the category of misinformed distortion when Levin alleges government proceeded much as the Founders wanted up until the New Deal, but I&#8217;ll leave Founders intent out of this for now.  The grand omission by Levin in his first chapter is faulting the New Deal for events that first occurred earlier [...]]]></description>

		The first chapter of Mark Levin&#8217;s Liberty and Tyranny is called &#8220;On Liberty and Tyranny.&#8221;  The first paragraph starts off as well as an empiricist like me could hope for.  Levin qualifies that there are more than one kind of conservatism.  There is a significant omission in the list, but that is better saved for [...]]]></description>
