Mark Levin: ‘We Now Live In A Post-Constitutional Country’

In an interview with CNSNews.com about his new #1 book—“Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America”—Mark R. Levin said he believes America has already largely become “a post-constitutional country.”

The book, released Monday, compares the Utopian and unworkable schemes laid out by political philosophers from Plato to Thomas Hobbes with the vision of natural law, God-given rights, and individual liberty that inspired the Founding Fathers when they wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

“Utopianism is not new,” Levin writes in “Ameritopia.” “It has been repackaged countless times—since Plato and before. It is as old as tyranny itself. In democracies, its practitioners legislate without end. In America, law is piled upon law in contravention and contradiction of the governing law—the Constitution.”

Levin’s verdict: Barack Obama and modern American liberals are firmly in the Utopian camp—pursuing a vision fundamentally at odds with limited government and human freedom.

“I believe to a great extent we now live in a post-constitutional country, where much of the Constitution is ignored or evaded,” Levin told CNSNews.com.

“What I want the readers to understand, what I want the public to understand is, this is not new and it’s going to destroy us,” said Levin. “It’s going to destroy us because it is an attack on the individual. It is an attack on the nature of human beings.”

Say whatever you want about Levin but it sounds like he knows exactly what Obama is doing. And Obama has had this agenda from the beginning. He even talked about redistribution of wealth when he was running for President. If things don't change soon and start going in the other direction we are all doomed.

100% agree, how can you not agree that the gov't blatantly disregards the constitution anymore? Full ybody scnas without permission, NSA at the SS office, ability to detain whoever they want for whatever reason, and they are now trying to take away the internet. We are all screwed get used to it.
