“Ronald Reagan had a vision of America. Barack Obama has a vision of Barack Obama. “

Dr. Sowell’s Random Thoughts and much more impressive than any kind of thoughts BHO has had.

Wal-Mart has done more for poor people than any ten liberals, at least nine of whom are almost guaranteed to hate Wal-Mart.

AAAUUURGH! This is SO true!

Wal-Mart and other retailers should be coming out with ads letting the middle and lower classes know that it is those that proclaim they want to protect you and keep you dependent on you are the ones causing you the most harm. Business needs to fight back.

My favorite: An e-mail from a reader whose job requires him to take urine tests, to make sure he is drug-free, wonders why he is taxed to provide money to people on welfare who are also on drugs. He thinks they should have to take urine tests too, before they get his money.

This would cut the welfare budget in half, at least.

If only Thomas Sowell was being sworn in as President. Then I wouldn’t have all this racial angst that I have. I feel guilty for opposing virtually everything that comes out of socialist Obama’s mouth. Libs, college students, and PC people make me feel lower than a neanderthal for not rejoicing in the coronation of Obama as America (or Kenya’s) 1st African-American President!

A reader suggests that members of Congress should wear uniforms, like NASCAR drivers, so that we will know who their corporate sponsors are.

Only problem is that there wouldn't be enough room on Pelousy's jump suit for all the union, hyphen-american, gay rights and terrorist-appeasing pressure groups that own her.

FTA: “It is fascinating to see that politicians whose interventions in mortgage lending have created a disaster in financial institutions are now moving on to intervene in the automobile industry.”

This made me think of this quote:

We can’t solve old problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

What a delightful columnist is Thomas Sowell, a man whose eyes have been opened!

...giddy as teenagers are over some rock stars, when it comes to Barack Obama.

Was I the only teenager who was giddy to see a sitting US Senator (Alan Simpson) instead of rock stars? Man, I was a strange adolescent.

My favorite.

Ronald Reagan had a vision of America. Barack Obama has a vision of Barack Obama.

Best summation of B Hussein Obama ever.

As American incomes have risen over the years, liberals have kept changing the definition of "poverty."
How was poverty defined in 1908?
