I've read the founding fathers and Mark Levin is no founding father

By Paul J. GaffneyThe author has a clear point of view but, instead of claiming it as his own, he cloaks it in the divine veil of the Levin-deified founding fathers. I have no issue with a partisan author making a point - and Levin has a point to make - but you can only claim to be a god if asked (cf. Ghostbusters). The core theme of the book seems to be: this is what the "founding fathers" did, so this is what is right. Setting aside the manifold problems associated with selective reporting of the founding fathers inferred intent, the topics dealt with in this book are more nuanced than the black and white portrait painted. So long as extremists continue to treat our national dialogue about the role of government and the nature of the good society as a binary universe with a collection of rights and wrongs (with the two poles inevitably having contradictory and irreconcilable view about what falls in which column) we will fail to make meaningful progress toward marshalling our nation's formidable resources toward better ends. We would be better off understanding what is going on instead of attempting to name "right" and "wrong." Related Articles:
