Thomas Sowell is not a religious conservative, and he is not a Republican partisan. He is America's greatest living intellectual. Oh, if only we could transplant Dr. Sowell's clarity of thought into (for example) Jeb Bush ...

Interestingly, that describes me as well, and I happen to be a big fan of Sowell, and an ardent defender of Terri's right to live.

I think he is awesome. While he may not be a typical religious conservative, I would guess he is a Christian, and I know he is conservative with a libertarian bent. He is a student of history and knows that power can corrupt even the best of intentions. But he is definitely not a straight Libertarian either.
Nevertheless, you are 100% correct to define him as a great intellectual.

He is America's greatest living intellectual. You are absolutely right. Thomas Sowell is America's greatest living intellectual. And totally unrecognized because he is blak and doesn't fit the MSM's vision of what black people are supposed to be.
