Some elections are routine, some are important and some are historic. If Sen. John McCain wins this election, it will probably go down in history as routine. But if Sen. Barack Obama wins, it is more likely to be historic — and catastrophic.
Once the election is over, the glittering generalities of rhetoric and style will mean nothing. Everything will depend on performance in facing huge challenges, domestic and foreign.
This made me sit-up straight in my chair.
Once the election is over, the glittering generalities of rhetoric and style will mean nothing. Everything will depend on performance in facing huge challenges, domestic and foreign.
Performance is where Barack Obama has nothing to show for his political career, either in Illinois or in Washington.
Policies that he proposes under the banner of “change” are almost all policies that have been tried repeatedly in other countries — and failed repeatedly in other countries.
Politicians telling businesses how to operate? That's been tried in countries around the world, especially during the second half of the 20th century. It has failed so often and so badly that even socialist and communist governments were freeing up their markets by the end of the century.”

Excellent article ... check it out ...
Usually it is important to post more that a link to stir enough interest to go there...
JMO
Thomas Sowell is a man that sees current events clearly; and is sounding the clarion call.
PAY ATTENTIION PLEASE!!!!
LOL! I’d like to see them try to infiltrate into my rural setting. They’d be discovered so fast they wouldn’t have time to unpack.
In my defense, I posted the whole article, copyright notice and all. Since I don’t tear the mattress tag off either I thought I’d put just a link to the story. :)
Same here.
Posting the total article is in violation of copyright.
It is helpful to get the gist of the article (at least to me it is).
No defense necessary. Simply comment.
Thank you, for the posting.
America has never been a conquered country, so it may be very hard for most Americans even to conceive what that can mean. After France was conquered in 1940, it was reduced to turning over some of its own innocent citizens to the Nazis to kill, just because those citizens were Jewish.
Do you think our leaders wouldn't do that? Not even if the alternative was to see New York and Los Angeles go up in mushroom clouds? If I were Jewish, I wouldn't bet my life on that.
Oh, geez. Stupid typo.
*You didn’t include the most important line in the article.
Ignore that “not” in the first post. Grrr. Time to go find some coffee.
Well, then you post it and put any line you want, ok?
It’s a duplicate anyway. It’ll probably get taken down by the mods.
historic...
I say catastrophic...
They refuse to work - we refuse to work.
We'll see how friggin fast it all unravels and collapses the system when the producers stop producing and then that will be the end of Socialism in America. They “Ride the Dole” in Britain, and its collapsing and they're going broke.
Hey, whatever it takes to purge Marxism from the land. Anarchy's just fine by me for a time. We still have a shitload of nukes, so nobody will try to invade lest the nukes be unleashed. Meanwhile, we can just fight it out and may the best philosophy win.
See, their plan to take us quietly into Marxism only works if we go along with them and agree to be their slaves.
Use the Limbaugh - “Demonstrate an absurdity by being absurd”. Simply demand their plan only on steroids and it would collapse the system. Use it against them.
Hey, just an idea.
Bump for later
Ironically, it was that line you posted that chilled me but lack of sleep and coffee conspired against me.
Dr. Sowell is a genius. Yet, most Americans don’t know him let alone read him.
He has absolutely no cred in the black community, either. As one of my acquaintances once said, “I’d call him the same name his nephews call him.”
Would that be the “N” word?
He is indeed a man of clesr vision. Rare in all men.
No, not that name.
His first name is Thomas and he spoke of his nephews.
