BUMP! I’m currently reading Dr. Sowell’s latest, ‘Intellectuals and Society.’

The man takes no prisoners! :)

“Has he been allied with uniters or dividers in the past? Do Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Father Pfleger sound like uniters?

What has his administration done— as distinguished from what the president has said— since taking office?

It has dropped the prosecution of black thugs caught on camera stationed outside a polling place intimidating voters.

Obama has promoted to the Supreme Court a circuit judge who dismissed a discrimination lawsuit by white firefighters, whose case the Supreme Court later accepted and ruled in their favor. “

Obama is out for blood, not just revenge.

Good question and what of a number of citizens who would side with them to take Azatlan?

If they did take Aztlan, they'd be in the same position as the 'Palestinians' - dependent on America's (Israel's) benevolence for electricity, water and everything else. The American southwest is a desert which we have made to bloom, and we can make it stop blooming anytime we please.

A "race card" is not something to play, because race is a very dangerous political plaything.

Another jewel by Sowell.

It needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

Excellent article from Dr. Sowell. The statements that really stand out to me...

This is just one of many areas in which this country is likely to pay a very high price for the fact that too many voters paid attention to Obama's rhetoric while ignoring his actual track record...

The question is whether you want equal treatment or you want payback. Cycles of revenge and counter-revenge have been at the heart of racial and ethnic strife throughout history, in countries around the world. It is a history written in blood. It is history we don't need to repeat in the United States of America...

Exactly correct...They’ll never take it but it could get very ugly if they really get serious about it.

Thank you, Mr. Sowell.

He doesn’t mention Hitler, possibly because Hitler is so overused in argument that it could be said there is a Hitler card. But the parallel with the other race conflicts he mentions is obvious.

Would everyone please listen? Media people? Once fighting starts, words no longer have the power they once did to stop the antagonism.

Thugs from the South Side of Chicago know all about payback.

Yep, and the thug we’ve got for the president thinks of payback on a daily basis.
