Be sure to read the whole piece.

It’s spot-on.

B. S.

I’ve watched what has been spot on for you for almost eight months now.

‘Edmund Burke said: ‘Constitute government how you please, infinitely the greater part of it must depend upon the exercise of the powers which are left at large to the prudence and uprightness of ministers of state.’

Machiavelli said that in times of crisis republics turn to worthy, capable men and then abandon them when the crisis is averted.

A worthy, capable man doesn’t seem very meek or modest — not ideal politically when times are good.

No it isn't and it is Sowell who needs to GROW UP!

I've been listening to him and reading his columns since 1970 and this garbage isn't anything at all like him. But then, I guess that TDS is a mental disease.

I just read the whole article. I disagree with it, except for the author's acknowledgement that the US has serious problems. I don't understand how he sees mainstream Republican pols, even those who campaign as conservatives, as the solution to anything. Mygosh, they got handed the HOR, got Boehner run out of leadership, Cantor primaried....and handed it to Paul Ryan!

What we need is a creative problem solver with enough humor and analytic skills to consider all options and put together a solution that actually solves something, and isn't controlled by what handlers demand.

That's Donald Trump. The unintended consequence of his Veteran's event is he showed us how he solves problems, brings everyone who wants to be part of the solution along for the ride, and gives credit to those who participated.

CW, at least give credit where credit is due. That Veterans benefit Trump planned was magnificent.

You have read it, that is good enough for me.

Just one more attempt to pile on Trump. I wish I still had our parakeet. I would print this out to line the bottom of his cage.

Give em a break CW. Why on earth would the TrumPets read or listen to anything other than the Pied Piper’s thrilling tune?

The attraction and hold Trump has over his lemmings is very simple, he does and says things that many wish they could say and do, lie, spit and bully, just as Trump does and that Trump always seems to get away with because of his wealth.

Doesn’t matter a hoot in a hail storm that Trump’s history and words are non-conservative, backing of the worst of the worst liberals and now give em sound bytes that no one can hold him to later.

The issue that Trump raised about Ted Cruz s having been born in Canada is not the first time he has tried to challenge where someone was born. The Donald was among those who tried to say that Barack Obama was not born an American citizen, and who disgraced themselves, while undermining other critics of Obama who had serious objections to his policies.

I did.

I love Thomas Sowell, especially when he writes about education but Sowell shows his ignorance at times, too. This is one of them.
