#1 New York Times bestselling author and radio host Mark R. Levin
delivers a bracing meditation" (National Review) on the ways our
government has failed the next generation.
In modern America, the civil society is being steadily devoured by a
ubiquitous federal government. But as the government grows into an
increasingly authoritarian and centralized federal Leviathan, many
parents continue to tolerate, if not enthusiastically champion, grievous
public policies that threaten their children and successive generations
with a grim future at the hands of a brazenly expanding and imploding
entitlement state poised to burden them with massive debt, mediocre
education, waves of immigration, and a deteriorating national defense.
Yet tyranny is not inevitable. In Federalist 51, James Madison
explained with cautionary insight the essential balance between the
civil society and governmental restraint: "In framing a government which
is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in
this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and
in the next place oblige it to control itself."
This essential new book is, against all odds, a likeminded appeal to
reason and audacity--one intended for all Americans but particularly the
rising generation. Younger people must find the personal strength and
will to break through the cycle of statist manipulation, unrelenting
emotional overtures, and the pressure of groupthink, which are humbling,
dispiriting, and absorbing them; to stand up against the heavy hand of
centralized government, which if left unabated will assuredly condemn
them to economic and societal calamity.
Levin calls for a new civil rights movement, one that will foster
liberty and prosperity and cease the exploitation of young people by
statist masterminds. He challenges the rising generation of younger
Americans to awaken to the cause of their own salvation, asking: will
you acquiesce to a government that overwhelmingly acts without
constitutional foundation--or will you stand in your own defense so that
yours and future generations can live in freedom?
