Real Conservatives are a dying breed. Many Republicans use the Constitution as toilet paper along with the Democrats.

I know there have been several other pieces today about Mr. Williams but I hadn't seen this one from another brilliant thinker, Mr. Thomas Sowell, who considered Mr. Williams his best friend for 50 years.

The saddest news is that William's passing will not be noted in the majority of the black community.

When a great man, like the handsome Walter Williams {just ask him, he would've told you how handsome he was} passes, it is sad that the vast amount of grief is not in the black community.

I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Williams speak at a tax reform rally in Michigan in the early 90’s. He and Thomas Sowell are two members of my short list of personal heroes.

When we think of his fantastic mind and his ability to take small thoughts and with the application of reason produce profound pronouncements, we must bow to his great wisdom, a black man, a simple black man.

Then there is Stacy Abrams, a black woman. She pollutes America with her mindlessness, he continuous destruction of black potential. Her pitiful intellect is destroying America

Truly a great and wise man. Rest in Peace Mr. Williams. We are a better place because of the life you lived. May God bless and comfort your family.

Thanks for the ping!

Thanks to Dr. Sowell for writing on Walt Williams. My 2 favorite (black) columnists.

This is very sad to me.
