Dr. Sowell is one of the brightest, most articulate conservative writers on the planet, and totally un-recognized by the left.

[Pharmboy]

He's the left's worst nightmare: a self-made, conservative African American man speaking the truth, who's smarter than they are.

I've read two of his books, and his clarity of thought and reasoned argument are phenomenal.

Dr. Sowell is ... totally un-recognized by the left.

Thank God there are (a few) intellectuals out there whose central aspiration is not to be recognized by the left.

The left in this country has been trying its best to ignore Dr. Sowell for decades, ever since he effectively demonstrated the direct relationship between increases in the minimum wage and increased unemployment among black youth. If they had to confront him he'd eat them alive. Plus, the very last thing they can afford is a demonstration of the intellectual power of a man like Dr. Sowell, who is brilliant, conservative, and black.
