We cannot preserve everything that was once useful.

The brilliant man who should have been our first black president writes the simple truth again.

I've often thought about that, and long before Obama appeared on the scene.

I know some people claim that Sowell lacked the personal ambition, or the vanity, to run for president.

But this man is truly guided - and energized - by political principle and historical reality.

Unlike Herman Cain, I think Sowell may have understood there were things in his personal life that would likely disqualify him as a Conservative from political office.

I will forever reject the idea that women and Blacks could not be elected president until quite recently in American history, and then, only as Democrats.

If the Republican Party had a Margaret Thatcher or a Thomas Sowell available in the 1960’s, we would have nominated them.

He still could be!

I have doubts that ole B Wacky Insane~0 is black. I think he's listed as Arab.

That would be the ONLY reason I can think of to hide his real BC.

That very brilliance is probably why he didn't ever run. "Brilliance" doesn't seem to be a criteria for the Presidency nowadays.
