Not interested in Sowell anymore since his recent case of GOP-E-itis.

Somehow we’ve got to find a way to draw a distinction between those who are truly conservative but who think that the republican party is the only real alternative and those who are truly conservative and are not committed to a party but to their principles.

There’s a difference between a CINO GOP-E who is a big government moderate and a true conservative who thinks they can only accomplish anything through the republican party.

Sowell’s recent attack on Cruz was illogical and especially for Sowell. I think he was wrong. That doesn’t mean I think he’s become a big government CINO.

For example, I view Sowell and Coulter entirely differently.

People post articles every day without even a “barf alert” from authors who are notorious for always being wrong. My experience has been that I have essentially always agreed with Thomas Sowell after I read his piece, tho not always before.

After all the many hundreds of truly acute articles from Thomas Sowell, I finally see one that I disagree with - and I am supposed to write him off on that basis? Pickings for authors would get mighty slim for me real quick if I adhered to that standard.

I think even if he really went off permanently off the rails I would have to continue reading him just out of respect.
