And when it does can we finally hold those responsible?

[Kaslin]

I hope so

[deadrock]

There is very little left to dismantle.

Thomas Sowell is masterful.

If the Republican party had any brains, they’d commission this guy to do a tour of urban areas, teaching the BASICS of economics to all who will listen.

I know he is getting up there in years, but his passion and wisdom ought to be enough to win over at least some of the blacks who are open to the truth.

I am serious. Sowell could testify first hand about the generation of Martin Luther King, Jr. and how the race-baiters of today are not representative of true civil rights pioneers.

And he’d give a great lecture on how capitalism is the best path to prosperity.

The fact that America is still the world's strongest military power means "absolutely nothing," Sowell says, "if our enemies are willing to die and we are not. It took only two nuclear bombs to get Japan to surrender — and the Japanese of that era were far tougher than most Americans today. "Just one bomb — dropped on New York City, Chicago or Los Angeles — might be enough to get us to surrender. If we are still made of sterner stuff than it looks like, then it might take two or maybe even three or four nuclear bombs. But we will surrender."

Thomas, I will not surrender. I would rather die than live as a slave to anyone.

"... Worse yet, there are moral corrosions within ourselves that weaken our ability to face the challenges ahead."

Indeed, something evil this way comes...

Millions of Americans may die.

I am in total awe of Sowell. Study the Bible first, the U.S. Constitution second, and after that, Thomas Sowell...

"If the Republican party had any brains, they’d commission this guy to do a tour of urban areas, teaching the BASICS of economics to all who will listen."

Wow, just recently I was telling someone that we need to start an education outreach system to the urban areas. The Dems will never attempt to teach their voters about economics or American government basics. It's left to us conservatives if we hope to save our country.

If the Republican party had any brains

That alone disqualified anything that follows.

Thomas Sowell's 45th book

He cranks them out faster than Steven King, and considering that he writes so much about leftist idiocy they are far, far scarier.

And thank YOU for the ping, Jazusamo!

[Kaslin]

You are welcome. I pinged you, because I thought you might be interested in this editorial

[Kaslin]

Well, Dr Sowell is awesome

[Ramius]

If Dr. Sowell is this worried... we should all be afraid. Very afraid.

[jazusamo]

It’s a very good piece. Some of the points he made in it he’s made before but as time passes it’s more and more appropriate.

[Kaslin]

Isn’t this what the author of the editorial said in the first paragraph?

[chooseascreennamepat]

“And when it does can we finally hold those responsible?”

Republicans will be in charge when the economy tanks and the Dems will blame them all the way!
