Unfortunately, he's in his 70's ...
Maybe someone else will pick up this platform, and we can vote for him or her! Sowell is the Greatest Living American Thinker, undisputed champ!

I agree with you that he is a great thinker, but I would put Walter Williams up there with him.

I love the term limits. Citizen legislators once again instead of professional politicians with a death grip on office.

Thomas Sowell makes far too much sense to win a national election.

Wonderful piece by Sowell; he would never be allowed to do what he and we know is right however.
As a new Senator around 1972 said to me when I asked him how things looked back in Washington, his response was "It’s all over! Washington is nothing more than a back scratching party with no thought for the people except to get re-elected."......but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to reduce government.

I don't like the label "conservative." I see you are relative newbie. Perhaps you missed the "list of ingredients" on the front of the package...
Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

Walter Williams is very impressive, but I don't think he has quite the overwhelming erudition of Thomas Sowell. Shelby Steele is more comparable to Sowell as a scholar. Each of them appeals to a slightly different group of readers, thus providing a broader dissemination of conservative ideas than any one by himself.

Sowell AND Keyes?
Sorry, far, FAR too much common sense and wisdom to be on the same ticket.

Thomas Sowell for President and Alan Keyes for VP.While this would be magnificent intellectually, Thomas Sowell himself says that he's too abrupt and confrontational to be a good candidate. His memoir "A Personal Odyssey" is fascinating ... he's very challenging.

Vote for him? I'd MARRY him! No, he won't run for president. But he should have the office next to the President's and advise like mad. Wouldn't it be a wonderful day to have the kind of freedom he is talking about?
