I hope you understand that this paraphrase was my attempt to summarize Sowell’s arguement.
He sees both sides as being responsible for the weakened ability to challenge and win. We are ineffectual and weak and rather than unify and gather strength, we are having an internal fight for direction.
We are violating that old stricture about “dividing our forces in the face of the enemy” in this political battle.
He relishes this seperation and beats each half in detail.
How would you feel about the opposing defensive coach being in on all offensive huddles?
