Liberal Fascism is huge and growing.

I’m reading it now and it’s fantastic. Can’t-put-it-down good.

A BTT for a new Sowell, “Economic Facts And Fallacies.” That’s just elbowed its way into my summer reading. BTT.

I agree. Liberal Fascism is a great book. Jonah Goldberg, the author, has a blog devoted to book if anyone is interested: Liberal Fascism THE BLOG

My father bought Dr. Sowel’s Basic Economics and he says it’s a great read, very informative on how economics really works.

It looks as though I’ve got some books to add to my reading list for this summer.

My 11 y.o. son just wrote a paper about the rights we enjoy under the Bill of Rights. I am going to have to help him reword it before we send it in to his liberal charter school teacher for grading. We would probably have children’s services over here.

He turned it into a paper about how we are losing are rights with gun laws and religion......

Summer reading? I never could understand that concept. I sit on my ass inside through five months of winter, with not much to do except read FR, watch a bunch of TV (football, basketball, junk golf), plan next summer’s garden, check fishing equipment inventory, read some golf game improvement tips.

Mid spring to mid fall, I am outside, fishing, golfing, gardening, mowing lawn.

Thanks for the ping list. I’m not sure of Prof. Sowell’s age, but I am sure that I am younger than him but can hardly keep up with his output!

"Since this is an election year, there may be more interest than usual in Barack Obama."

I love his low key humor. :) His personal modesty, despite, or perhaps because of, his great accomplishments, shows through in his writing, too.

I am a huge fan. I didn't even get to the content of this piece.

I’m #4 on the waiting list for Sowell’s latest. Luckily I’m adrift in a sea of Liberals, so few bother to educate themselves about Real Life, vs. what they’re spoon-fed during their eight or more years of college, LOL!

Good action items. Deserves a home-school ping but I have no idea who that would be.

Dr. Sowell was born in 1930 and his wisdom and wit are shared by few writers today. Over the last few months his columns and thoughts on Obama have been a great thing to see, just guessing I’d say he’s not voting for him. :)

LOL! Don’t feel too bad about living in that sea, at least there’s enough sane people there that the library buys his books.
