Being skeptical is good, but casting aspersions on the character of someone like Thomas Sowell, who was fighting conservatism’s battles when you (likely) were a toddler is something quite different.
Sowell’s doing it himself. Did you read either article? He’s trying to save a party overrun with liberals.
“...casting aspersions on the character of someone like Thomas Sowell...
***************************************************************
The linked article includes the words “...Thomas Sowell turns...”. In intelligence jargon, “turn” has a very specific meaning. If you consider it “casting aspersions” to simply point out THE TRUTH that Sowell has suddenly begun attacking (and his words do constitute an “attack” whether you want to believe it or not) Ted Cruz than so be it. And Sowell is using some of the arguments that are advanced in GOPe “talking points” (and, believe me, they exist). It is something of a mystery as to why Sowell has “TURNED” in regard to Cruz, but TURN he has-—whether you accept that or not. Cruz has been, and continues to be, VERY effective with his tactics; and the GOP establishment and their DemocRat counterparts fear him mightily.
