Hoorah for Sowell! If only everyone in the media knew as much as he knows about economics, they’d spend less time talking about Bristol’s sex life.

Sex education, or sex instruction?

It’s because wall-to-wall coverage of Bristol is sucking the oxygen out of McCain/Palin.

These are supposedly the people who believe that pregnant teenagers have an absolute right to privacy. They are also the ones who called Al Gore III’s 2000 DUI irrelevant WRT his dad’s campaign...and we agreed.

Yep, these are the people. The media and pundits are shameless with this and we will undoubtedly see a huge backlash.

People like Campbell Brown and Keith Olbermann think they’re geniuses because they can defame the character of a 17 year old girl.

This is all media brownshirting. They can’t keep it up forever, they don’t have that kind of attention span; Obama is going to do something to make them swoon and they’ll go back to that.

I believe we’re going to find out in the next few days just how strong Sarah Palin is and it’s going to surprise the RATS.

If only everyone in the media knew as much as he knows about economics . . .

With the passing of Dr. Milton Friedman, I don't think there ia a person alive today who knows economics as well as Dr. Sowell.

That depth of knowledge just isn't necessary. All that is necessary is for them to read one of Dr. Sowell's books such as Basic Economics, a delightfully straight-forward book that even an English or Journalism major can understand.

The libs just want to beat or wear you down into submission of their agenda. They want to control you and your vote.

I am voting for Sarah Palin because she is a leader.

PravdABDNC is lynching a scared 17 yr old girl. They must be so proud of themselves.

"I don't think there ia a person alive today who knows economics as well as Dr. Sowell."

Yes, and he can articulate economic principles. Another "national treasure," as another poster observed, is Dr. Walter Williams, whose understanding of deep economic principles and extraordinary ability to articulate them in a direct and sometimes humorous way makes him very special.

Neither of these men get nearly enough recognition for their abilities and the wonderful role models they are for young men who would like to understand how to improve the lives of the less fortunate. They, like Adam Smith, understand that it is much more important to study "the causes of the Wealth of Nations" than it is to spin one's wheels, as John Edwards has done, studying the so-called "poverty" problem.

Bump to that! From what I've seen of her she can handle herself and is a straight shooter, no pun intended.
