Random thoughts on the passing scene:
What a non-judgmental society amounts to is that common decency is optional — which means that decency is likely to become less common.
The biggest issue in this fall's election is whether the Obama administration will end when Barack Obama leaves the White House or whether it will continue on, by appointing federal judges with lifetime appointments who share President Obama's contempt for the Constitution. Whether such judges will be confirmed by the Senate depends on whether the Senate continues to be controlled by Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Why in the world would any sane American go to North Korea and put themselves at the mercy of a crackpot dictator?
Since Illinois enacted a law permitting more people to carry concealed firearms, more than 65,000 people got permits to do so. Rates of robbery, burglary and motor vehicle thefts have dropped significantly, and the murder rate has fallen to a level not seen in more than half a century. If only the gun control fanatics would pay some attention to facts, a lot of lives could be saved.
If you took all the mumbo-jumbo out of our educational institutions, how much would be left? Students could finish their education years earlier and end up knowing a lot more than they know now.
Why are Americans — and the Western world in general — falling all over ourselves stifling our own self-expression to appease people who chose to immigrate here, and are now demanding the suppression of anything they don't like, such as public expressions of Christianity or displays of the American flag?

With all respect to Dr. Sowell, anyone who thinks that a GOP majority in the Senate will stop a judicial nomination made by the first (or second) Black president is deluding themselves.
Republicans in DC can’t wait to roll-over for Obama.
I don't know but I think that is about to change.
YES, I certainly hope so. It’s gone way too far and for too long.
Dr. Sowell’s Random Thoughts are superior to almost any magnum opus written by other pundits. The man can put more in two sentences than most can convey in a 5,000 word article.
Absolutely, I always look forward to his next one.
“Republicans in DC can’t wait to roll-over for Obama.”
So, what can be done?
It should’ve stopped altogether on 9/12/01.
But no, it got WORSE.
We are a bunch of sickos.
Worth repeating:
With the momentous consequences of control of the Senate at stake in this fall's election, anyone who risks the outcome by running as a third party candidate should not only be voted against this year but remembered for such irresponsibility in future years.
Bump

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” - Mark Twain
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith
He is giving off signs he’s in favor of Open Borders.
All of the rest of it I love.
“We are a bunch of sickos.”
Good point.
People are so jaded today that they dare to judge God:
“How could God permit this? [or that?]”
We’re all ‘too good’ to deserve punishment. We’re all so wonderful, ‘gods’ unto ourselves who deserve nothing but the Big Rock Candy Mountain. This is self-worship, self-idolatry.
Animals suffer out in the wild because we are in a CURSED world just as Genisis tells us: thorns, sweat, labor pains, and DEATH. Why should we, the sinners of this world, expect anything different when sinless animals suffer far more than we do?
People rave about how evil Stalin was and Mao — but our nation has been just as evil — the human sacrifice of 40 million sinless unborn children! And we expect to remain blessed?
We should COUNT OUR BLESSINGS and thank God for them. We should be grateful for the wonderful roofs over our heads, our refrigerators bursting with exotic food, electric power, rapid transportation, and the internet — something our ancesters could barely dream of any more than they could understand Alice in Wonderland.
We should fall on our knees, beg God for forgiveness, and atone ourselves by voting out those filthy baby-killing rats! And every primary, weed out Ruling Class repubs.
