It seems that the current Democrat leadership is driving Dr. Sowell to the Republicans. Historically, he’s taken both parties to task for being dingbats (which they are), but the balance has obviously shifted.

I had thought the whole affair was almost amusing until seeing this piece; Dr. Sowell makes it clear the incompetence that's on display.

Once Iran has nuclear weapons, that will be an irreversible change that will mark a defining moment in the history of the United States and of Western civilization, which will forever after live at the mercy of hate-filled suicidal fanatics and sadists.

This is a little over the top for Dr. Sowell. I'm surprised that he made such a statement in a historical vacuum. The world has ever been at the mercy of fanatics, and it's not like Iran couldn't get their hands on nukes if they really wanted to.

In any case, the Democrats are performing true to form. They are embarked on a mission to transform this republic into a democracy. As Karl Marx said, democracy is the road to socialism.
