As usual Sowell is spot-on.

“To me, the Republican establishment is the 8th wonder of the world. How they can keep repeating the same mistakes for decades on end is beyond my ability to explain.”
Okay, I’ll try. The Republican establishment, like the Democrat establishment is controlled by the same single entity. Sounds like a conspiracy? Sure does. But how else DO you explain the pitiful list of characters put at the top of the ticket...or Boehner as Speaker...
Good article, jaz, although I don’t totally blame Romney. I also blame the voters. Romney did not win over the “low-information” voters (aka, the stupid voters). Sowell’s point about Boehner/Republs not being able to articulate why what obama/dems are proposing is wrong is spot on.
Boehner et al should not be afraid to call out obama and what he is doing. He WANTS to go over the cliff. He wants the chaos. He wants the outcry that will ensue once peoples’ taxes go up.
The Repubs and Boehner should also not be afraid to call out the public that think it’s okay to rob wealth from some to “give” to others. The reeducation has to start somewhere. It won’t start in the schools. It might as well start in the public square. The Repubs are getting blamed no matter what happens. They might as well stand on conservative principles.
We need a conservative version of TED talks where we can get many voices on our side giving compelling lectures on a range of topics from our POV.
We have to stop depending on this little circle of celebrity commentators that are great at just making money (not that that’s a bad thing), and are not really suited to connect with far too many low-info voters.
Good article by Dr. Sowell, except for his positive words about Marco Rubio.
Rubio is already angling toward the 2016 nomination (remind me again, what has he done in the Senate?), but the last thing we need is another “Conservative” opportunist.
One who is afraid to convey his respect for and support of Bible-believing Americans should not seek conservative support for a 2016 candidacy.
