And from the “conservative” House we hear...nothing. Again.
I usually give Tom an A......once in a while an A+

Dr. Sowell's clarity cuts right through all the "stuff," doesn't it?
And anyone who thinks that the government does not do EXACTLY the same thing is delusional!
Get out there and make some REAL political noise and see how long it is before the IRS comes down on you! Witness current events and the TEA party!
loser pays will help. Of course there are too many politicians that are lawyers to get it instituted
Sometime in the seventies, I believe, the notion of “de facto discrimination” was given life in the Federal Court. I believe it was Judge Jack B. Weinstein that gave birth to this succubus. In essence it says that, if there is a statistical disparity in the races in things like housing or employment then it will be assumed that discrimination is afoot and damages will flow. This has reprehensibly crept into present day life as accepted wisdom. Of course this does not hold true for the NBA, the NFL or The Nation of Islam.
Wow. Sowell 2012!
Many liberals cling to the idea of the thoroughly disproved tabula rasa or blank slate theory where people are simply products of the environmnent where they grew up. Therefore, nobody really earned anything by themselves. Society (and big government) allowed these people to gain whatever they’ve gained, so if big government takes it away from them, it’s more than justified.
Bless Dr. Sowell. A modern day Prophet. BTTT.
