Keep 'em comin', Gg909 ... when Dr. Sowell speaks, all should listen. What a wise man of our times.
The "trickle down theory" has been a stock phrase on the left for decades and yet not one of those who denounce it can find anybody who advocated it. The tenacity with which they cling to these catchwords shows how desperately they need them, if only to safeguard their vision of the world and of themselves.conservatism IS compassion:
The left relies on Goebels logic: Facts don't matter if the masses don't think about them, but only about what emotions. Everything turns on the will to believe. If you American and want to believe that we the people are competent to figure things out and vote for what is best in the long run, you are a conservative. If you are an American and you want to believe that the people who say they are smart should make all the decisions, you are a "liberal."Conservatives' problem is that the "liberal" perspective dominated journalism because the "liberal" perspective is a logical correlary of the "If it bleeds it leads" criterion for deciding what is "important." If you think inside journalism's box you do not notice that what journalism promotes as "objectivity" and "the public interest" is nothing more than what makes journalism profitable.
Journalism promotes the idea that "the rich" are an illegitimate "Establishment." But in fact, journalism is the Establishment. Mass-market journalism is cheap talk sold dear.
