I've got a running battle with several libs. This one is too far gone for hope, but the exchanges can be informative. Know thy enemy kinda thing.

There are a couple of libs that work for me that have moderated somewhat as we get more in-depth on issues. They find that their bumper sticker mentality does not serve them well when they are forced into a logical debate.

Dr. Sowell has been a priceless resource for me in these discussions. He has a way of boiling an issue down to its essence. I have asked my lib friends for a comparable author that voices their views so I can educate myself on their perspective, but they cannot seem to come up with any.

Have you ever run across an author that presents the liberal economic case in a well though out, logical way? I'm not trying to be funny here. I really would like to try to learn something.

To be honest I don’t read too many libs but the ones I have are not even close to putting forth their views as Dr. Sowell does his. Of course they’re handicapped to begin with by trying to make truth of fantasy. :)

Sowell can say in a few sentences and make it clear what most take several paragraphs and many times they still don’t get the idea across.
