How does he get so much into so few words?

I should have known it was ACORN that Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama worked for: Now the light REALLY comes on!

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

too much pride to take charity

This is such a bizarre concept in the modern age that you almost wonder if Sowell has gone bonkers and is inventing the memory of it.

An era when the people of Harlem were too proud to take charity?

To the modern ear, it sounds like a fairy tale.

[HerrBlucher]

We don't need people like either Jeremiah Wright or Barack Obama to take us backward.

And there you have it, Obama, Wright, Jackson, and Sharpton in a nutshell......or better yet....nuts..hell

[Billthedrill]

It is a difference between upscale demagoguery and ghetto demagoguery, playing the audience for suckers in both cases.

Brutal. And Sowell has the right to say it.

We know him as a brilliant economist, which he is. He was a high-school dropout who got a GED after a stint in the Marine Corps told him who he really was. From there to Columbia, Harvard, and the University of Chicago. He really is what Obama pretends to be.

[Ooh-Ah]

How does he get so much into so few words?

Take a look at his AWESOME Wikipedia page: Thomas Sowell

One of my favorite comments made by Sowell was: I'm so glad I got into Harvard before there was affirmative action!

It's so sad that libs don't even know about him!

ACORN - I had to do a search to refresh my memory. Here’s a link for those like me with CRS.

ACORN and Project Vote, also had the nerve to represent them re: legal. This dude has Palis in Gaza campaigning for him calling the states.

This was an endorsement I had the honor of hearing live on the radio

Ah yes... the no comment/comment on Jimmy Carter
(sick him Newt)

He hooked up AAAN (Arab American Action Network) through his position in government re: Chicago (via the Woods Fund he sat on with Bill Ayers), attended salute for Edward Said of all people, dealt with Khalidi, two wanted by Interpol, and has facilitated wanted individuals getting visas to walk freely in Chicago while wanted.

Look at Robert Malley at Discover the Network, as well as his other staffers... that will tell it all.

After you read all those articles in the side bar, read what Malley said about being misunderstood:

Mmkay.

Well, Ali Abunimah says it best:

Oh, and the pastor republished Hamas columns in the church bulletin.

Oh and the view from Harvard (for the educated):
Arabs for Obama
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mesh/2008/02/arabs_for_obama/

Just had that handy...

That’s just the tiny stuff. Trust me.

Amazing article. Right on the button. But that’s T. Sowell.

[ovrtaxt]

ACORN. How about that! You’re right, it makes perfect sense now.

[Thom Pain]

It’s a shame that the people who most need to read Dr. Sowell’s work are illiterate (Thanks to the Libs).

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

How does he get so much into so few words?

He's led an interesting life, has the wisdom to appreciate it and the generosity to share it.

[metesky]

Right, that’s also the first time I have seen that it was ACORN flap-ears was “organizing” for.

Thomas Sowell:

When young people go out into the world, what will they have to offer that can gain them the rewards they seek from others and the achievements they need for themselves?

Will they have the skills of science, technology or medicine?

Or will they have only the resentments that have been whipped up by the likes of Jeremiah Wright or the sense of entitlement from the government that has been Barack Obama's stock in trade?

In the real world, a sense of grievance or entitlement, as a result of the mistreatment of your ancestors, is not likely to get you very far with people who are too busy dealing with current economic realities to spend much time thinking about their own ancestors, much less other people's ancestors.

Another seemingly unrelated experience was being in a crowd at a graveside in a Jewish cemetery last week. That crowd included people who were black, white, Asian, Catholic, Jewish and no doubt others. This country has come a long way, just in my lifetime.

We don't need people like either Jeremiah Wright or Barack Obama to take us backward.

The time is long overdue to stop gullibly accepting the left's vision of itself as idealistic, rather than self-aggrandizing.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
