FULL STORY:
It is rare in any age that a single book can so comprehensively document and analyze a historical movement as to be capable
of defining it. In the aftermath of World War II, which shattered Western Civilization to a degree unprecedented in human
history, it was William Shirer’s monumental The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich which cohesively linked the chain of
events that led to the nightmare of Hitler’s Germany. Yet, Shirer’s work came as a heartrending post-mortem of the European
War, explaining to a yet unbelieving world how such an atrocity could have unfolded in its midst, among ostensibly
“civilized” people.
During the Cold War, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn systematically unmasked the horrors of Soviet Russia, its oppression of the
masses it claimed to be liberating, and its efforts at maintaining the facade of statist beneficence on the world stage.
Through the publication of several works, including One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and The Gulag
Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn eventually was able to put out a distress call from those subjugated under the iron fist of the
Soviet Union, thereby inflicting grave damage to its public relations ruse, from which it never recovered.
Recently, author Mark Levin substantively defined the stark crossroads at which America finds itself, with his powerful
book, Liberty and Tyranny. In this timely publication, he contrasts the philosophies of freedom and individualism
against the seductive allure of the “nanny state,” with its dangerous potential for descent into a dehumanizing abyss,
lurking just beneath the veneer of bogus promises of a social paradise. Ultimately, Levin’s work offers both a clarion
warning of the impending danger, and a path to escape, if the people are sufficiently vigilant and resolved in their effort to
maintain the freedoms with which they were endowed as Americans.
Now, to these greats, must be added David Limbaugh’s Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack
Obama (Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, 2010), a book which was just released this week. Applying the
principles of freedom and Conservatism that he knows so well, David Limbaugh goes directly to the heart of the modern
Leftist movement, as it makes its ultimate assault on America. More significantly, he firmly attaches a face to America’s
newly ascendant “Evil Empire,” since its discussion rightly centers on the tactics and political agenda of Barack Hussein
Obama.
In keeping with the standards of his previous best sellers, Mr. Limbaugh exhibits the thoroughness of a practiced attorney
making an airtight case through the presentation of an abundance of information, accompanied by the prescient analysis
that readers of his bi-weekly syndicated columns have come to expect and appreciate. From the very first page of its
introduction, which stands, in and of itself, as an outstanding treatise on the precarious place where America currently finds
itself, to the structure of the remainder of the work in which Mr. Limbaugh properly characterizes the criminal degradation
of this nation by the Obama regime on several fronts, his writing is unparalleled in its comprehensiveness and depth.
Consider the progression of the three main segments of the book, “Offenses Against Americans,” “Offenses Against
American Institutions,” and “Offenses Against America’s General Welfare and National Security.” Starting with the
dubious manner in which Obama seized power, Mr. Limbaugh renders an indictment of the flamboyant, but fraudulent,
tactics used to gloss over Obama’s glaring deficiencies, while touting his supposed virtues in almost satirically
exaggerated terms. He then proceeds to explain how, from that position of ill-gotten power, Obama and his minions have
embarked on a mission to remake America in their own sordid, Leftist image. Finally, he offers a crushing conclusion of the
grave damage America will predictably suffer if the Obama vision is not vigorously opposed.
Addressing a subject of this enormity is no trifling undertaking, if one intends to do it with credibility and substance. Yet,
on both counts, David Limbaugh indisputably proves he is up to the task. From the opening sentence, in which he asserts
that Obama’s tenure in the White House is “already the most destructive in history,” Mr. Limbaugh makes bold assertions
as to the despicable nature of the Obama administration, assertions that even many of Limbaugh's Conservative
contemporaries lack the fortitude to publicly affirm.
On the heels of such contentions, Limbaugh presents a wealth of concrete facts to prove his point. And, in this department,
he proves, once again, that his abilities of research and analysis are second to none. The prolific quotations and extensive
footnoting in Crimes Against Liberty make it an invaluable collection of information quantifying the suspicions and
distrust with which America regards the Obama White House.
But, to a far greater degree, Mr. Limbaugh uses the evidence he has amassed to undergird his irrefutable conclusions,
offered in thorough and incisive commentary. For example, in his exposition of “Obama the Imperious,” he explains that
“Obama’s furious attacks on Wall Street were a natural outgrowth of his anti-corporate ideology, but they were also a
cynical ploy to whip up public support for his policies by stoking outrage at ‘fat-cat bankers’ and other evil capitalists who
seemed to come straight out of a comic book.”
In a single sentence, he lays bare the myopic Leftism of Barack Obama, his willingness to manipulate the emotionalism of
his mindless supporters, and, finally, the absurd and even juvenile basis on which the Obama regime seeks to demean and
undermine any who dare to stand in opposition to its schemes. And each page of Crimes Against Liberty contains
an abundance of just such hard hitting commentary, accompanied by all the necessary supporting evidence.
Sinister forces are hard at work, seeking to tear the America of freedom, prosperity, and greatness away from “We the
People.” And, if their effort is successful, its horrific effects might never be undone. It is thus imperative that those who
intend to preserve and protect their nation and its Constitution from these attacks be armed with a thorough understanding
of the assault they face, and how to best counter it. In this regard, Americans can do no better than to gird themselves with
the truth and insights of David Limbaugh’s Crimes Against Liberty.
