Well, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that Judge Napalitano answered my call-in comment yesterday by saying, “Well, I don’t know what we can say to that” (or words to that effect). I knew that like many of the Fox call screeners, the one that I addressed wanted something succinct and to the point.

So, I took the two topics that were being discussed that May Day, Gas Prices and Amnesty billing itself as Immigration Rights (or should I say the reverse…) and made the point that they were only normal, serious problems not the crisis that the leftists were making them out to be for the purposes of seizing central government solutions.

I had been led that direction by the normally sensible Brian yielding to the central planning dogma of more gas taxes by his earlier guest, the 80% sensible Krauthammer.

Anyway, when they put me on I said words that were condensed from the eminent Dr. Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed

Sowell points out that in political gamesmanship of the Left every problem is an opportunity. The opportunity proceeds like this:
1.) A perceived Problem is recognized, manufactured, invented or discovered.
2.)The Problem is termed by the leftists involved as a CRISIS. (Like now, the Gas Price Crisis)
3.)The CRISIS is shown to only be manageable by central authority.
4.) That management must be wholesale, i.e. revolutionary and not careful reform.
5.) The vision to diagnose, manage, apply the correctives and even have a voice in the decision is only held by the anointed of the left ..the others, such as those effected or traditional conservatives need not apply because even if they had the true answers, they were flawed and don’t really care the way the Anointed care. In fact, they are probably disqualified because of the automatic disqualifiers applied the every conservative value. These disqualifiers can be heard currently.

If you want to protect the borders, you are a racist, bigoted against all Latinos. If you believe in private property, profit making and capitalism, you are a greedy, robber baron looking to subjugate the working man.

Anyway, to say that would have been impossible in a radio comment. So I simply said, “ Congratulations on the new show Brian and The Judge, I think that both problems we ae discussing today are just normal serious problems instead of the overblown Crises that Leftist politicians are trying to paint these as, in order to proclaim they can only be solved by the central planning of central government solutions, and that conservatives can’t have a voice in the solutions because they are all classified as racists by the Anointed of the Left.”

Of course, out of the blue, that comment, standing alone, blew the Judge's hat off and prompted his comment I gave at the start of this post.

LOL, I would have loved the chance to spell out Sowell’s wonderful analysis of how the Left treats every political encounter in his deftly analyzed manner, but such shows don’t allow such detail.

Brian and the Judge, if one of your staff digs this up, I respect and enjoy you both but we are really playing along with the worst of the lame-stream media.
