Mark Levin: A modern-day Constitutional prophet
Townhall – David Limbaugh –
8/23/2013
When Mark Levin decided to
write his book "The Liberty Amendments" to advocate a convention to
propose a series of amendments to the U.S. Constitution, he may not have
realized how quickly and deeply his profound idea would resonate. But throughout
the nation, people are inclining their ears.
The first obstacle Levin
faced was the widespread misconception that he is calling for a constitutional
convention that could be hijacked by enemies of our founding principles and
converted into a forum to hammer the final nails into our constitutional
republic by fundamentally and radically changing our founding document.
In fact, Levin's proposal
couldn't be more at odds with that misperception. He is, first and foremost, a
constitutionalist. His goal is neither to eradicate nor to substantially change
the Framers' blueprint for government. It's to restore it with specific,
defined amendments intended to re-establish the proper balance between the
power of the government and the liberty of its citizens, with due emphasis on
the latter.
Mark Levin is a modern-day
constitutional prophet whose purpose is not to revamp the Constitution. It is
to revive it and refurbish it -- to restore the cracks in its foundation caused
by lawless officials through the years who were more interested in guaranteeing
outcomes than they were liberty.
Today's statists have no
regard for the Constitution or rule of law and have severely weakened it in
many places, and as a result, our liberty, our prosperity and our very nation
are in decline and in grave jeopardy.
Mark Levin is calling on us
to take corrective steps -- through a process anticipated and expressly
sanctioned by the Framers, no less -- to restore our system and reinvigorate
our liberties. Let's pray his effort becomes an inexorable movement that sweeps
the nation like the Great Awakening.
