RANDOM THOUGHTS
TOWNHALL ^ | 7/25/2012 | THOMAS SOWELL

Random thoughts on the passing scene:

Even squirrels know enough to store nuts, so that they will have something to eat when food gets scarce. But the welfare state has spawned a whole class of people who spend everything they get when times are good, and look to others to provide for their food and other basic needs when times turn bad.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution prescribes "equal protection of the laws" to all Americans. But what does that mean, if the President of the United States can arbitrarily grant waivers, so that A, B and C have to obey the laws but X, Y and Z do not -- as with both ObamaCare and the immigration laws?

Two reports came out in the same week. One was from the Pentagon, saying that, in just a few years, Iran will be able to produce not only a nuclear bomb but a missile capable of carrying it to the United States. The other report said that the American Olympic team has uniforms made in China. This latter report received far more attention, both in Congress and in the media.

Simply because the truth is not welcome in our very sick politically correct society, that is maintained by liberal idiots and their wholey owned media propaganda machine, which celebrates lies, stupidity, and deviance.

Dr. Sowell’s Random Thoughts columns have always been a must-read for me. Started on them as a kid back in the day when they ran in the old Pittsburgh Press.
