I have been an admirer of Thomas Sowell’s work ever since he came on the scene in the 1960s under the tutelage of Milton Friedman and William Buckley. I have followed him closely through the past fifty years, bought many of his books, read a lot of his newspaper columns, and listened to many TV and radio interviews. I generally agree with his economic and societal opinions. However, at this point in time, in both his old age and mine, I have found that I must part company with him on the matter of the election of Donald Trump. Further, it is puzzling to see him rant and rave about Trump in ways that are nonsensical, frivolous, and downright ridiculous. I attribute the same sort of intellectual stupidity to Limbaugh, Levin, and many others that I used to respect but no longer follow.
As I see things, the fraudulent elevation (I won’t say “election”) of Hussein Obama, the monster, to the presidency and the willingness of the RINOs to aid and abet this obvious fraud in support of his programs was a pivotal moment in American history. Similar to the “Sack of Rome”, it undermined and destroyed the last vestiges of what remained of the Constitutional Republic of old we all knew and loved and replaced it with a NWO, globalist, UniParty cabal. The Rule of Law is not going, it is already gone. The illegal and illegitimate actions of the US government operating under a lawless tyranny during the entire eight year “reign” of the thug, Hussein, and his Marxocrat minions with the RINOs in league with their corruption and criminality, has totally changed the political landscape.
This new reality is hard to accept for many people, including Sowell, Limbaugh, Levin, and their ilk. They have been shielded from the worst excesses of the collapse due to their financial and social positions. The rest of us, though, the struggling and declining middle class that suffers daily and has been cast aside for the benefit of welfare moochers, illegal aliens, and globalist corporatists, has watched this destruction happen year in and year out, all the while seeing that the blather and bull that the “conservative” punditocracy has shoveled for decades has resulted in nothing but a relentless advance of every leftist evil beyond the mind’s dimensions. I now cannot recognize this country anymore from the one I knew fifty years ago, when I first started reading Sowell. I now live in Sodom and Gomorrah.
We are at a revolutionary moment where the election of someone like Donald Trump to the presidency is the last hope if this country is ever to rise from the ashes. I’m not even sure such a thing is possible anymore. The people who have elected the Marxocrats and their RINO colleagues year after year have destroyed what was once the greatest nation ever conceived by man. We’ve all watched this happen, brick by brick, during the past fifty years. At this point, I will throw in with Trump and his people, giving the electoral process one last shot to try and save this country. If Trump is not elected, then I expect, like it or not, I’ll have to go to the front, shoulder a rifle, and man the barricades in the next Civil War that will surely happen as we descend into total chaos.
I could have written that post...I agree 100%.
