Thomas Sowell: What they are trying to do is create an America very unlike the America that has existed for centuries, the America that people have been attracted to by the millions from all over the world, the America that many generations of Americans have fought and died for. The thing associated with America, freedom, is precisely what must be destroyed if this is to be turned into a fundamentally different country, to suit Obamas vision of a country and of himself.
more wisdom from the man who SHOULD have been our first Black President
AMEN!
It’s been commonplace to call Obama “another Lincoln”. I think what he wants is to be “another Washington” and be father of a new — and very different — America.
They won’t get away with it!
"...the same ideas that have animated the 20th centurys worst mass murderers now have a happy home in the White House. Obama and his minders are worshippers in the same pew as Stalin, Castro, Mao, Chavez and Pol Pot. They all bow before the same altar of human sacrifice and power for powers sake."You know that there's only one way this can end if we wish to remain free...
There is still a chance for Thomas Sowell to be the first black president. We just need to get the Brit that’s occupying the White House out of there.
Educate ourselves first.

We have been using the Federal Courts thinking that we still have a Constitution to live up to. Well, we don’t. In 1913 the USofA became a Corporation. Therefore, all lawsuits must be brought up on the DC Court system not in Federal Court. The Supreme Court MUST know (and this scares me) that they’ve been play-acting since 1913 as the “Court of last resort” for lawsuits brought against the President or anyone else living within DC. THAT Court is the District Court and there is no other Court higher to appeal to.

Google the speaker: Rodney Glass and the caller (near the end of the program) Joyce Rosenwald for their research.
If only.

Thomas Sowell:"The idea that government officials can play God from Washington is not a new idea, but it is an idea that is being pushed with new audacity.
What they are trying to do is to create an America very unlike the America that has existed for centuries the America that people have been attracted to by the millions from every part of the world, the America that many generations of Americans have fought and died for.
This is the America for which Michelle Obama expressed her resentment before it became politically expedient to keep quiet.
It is the America that Reverend Jeremiah Wright denounced in his sermons during the 20 years when Barack Obama was a parishioner, before political expediency required Obama to withdraw and distance himself.
The thing most associated with America freedom is precisely what must be destroyed if this is to be turned into a fundamentally different country to suit Obamas vision of the country and of himself. But do not expect a savvy politician like Barack Obama to express what he is doing in terms of limiting our freedom.
He may not even think of it in those terms. He may think of it in terms of promoting social justice or making better decisions than ordinary people are capable of making for themselves, whether about medical care or housing or many other things. Throughout history, egalitarians have been among the most arrogant people.
Obama has surrounded himself with people who also think it is their job to make other peoples decisions for them. Not just Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, his health care advisor who complains of Americans over-utilization of medical care, but also Professor Cass Sunstein, who has written a whole book on how third parties should use government power to nudge people into making better decisions in general.
Then there are a whole array of Obama administration officials who take it as their job to pick winners and losers in the economy and tell companies how much they can and cannot pay their executives.
Just as magicians know that the secret of some of their tricks is to distract the audience, so politicians know that the secret of many political tricks is to distract the public with scapegoats.
No one is more of a political magician than Barack Obama. At the beginning of 2008, no one expected a shrewd and experienced politician like Hillary Clinton to be beaten for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States by someone completely new to the national political scene.
But Obama worked his political magic, with the help of the media, which he still has.
Barack Obamas escapes from his own past words, deeds and associations have been escapes worthy of Houdini.
Like other magicians, Obama has chosen his distractions well."
I've always enjoyed Sowell and will try to read him more faithfully. But this one was especially powerful.
I think we may survive obozo and if we can stop his worst plans we may actually be better for it--mountainous debt and all.
Thank you for providing that ‘column’ from Thomas Sowell, I sincerely appreciate it. He’s a very astute writer. Thoroughly enjoy all his contributions.
