Mark Levin? Really? My grandmother gave me Liberty and Tyranny at christmas '09 (not weird, we're a politically charged family) and I felt like it was a good introduction to what American conservatives think...for non-Americans who don't have years of immersion in our debates to go on. I already know the typical arguments for a flat tax, states' rights, and privatization of entitlements, I got nothing out of reading them again. I suppose he does present them in a well-worded and (usually) fact-based way, but I think it's safe to assume that HN readers have engaged with smart conservatives online before. And, most narrowly to that book, I doubt the defenses of Bush admin policies and specific hyperbolic warnings about Obama's policies have aged well. I'm not familiar with Steyn and haven't read much by D'Souza. Ann Coulter isn't a good pick if you're trying to dispel stereotypes, seeing as she's the walking strawman.
