What a master he is. So clear and spot on!

[BenLurkin]

"What is called "sex education," whether for kindergartners or older children, is not education about biology but indoctrination in values that go against the traditional values that children learn in their families and in their communities.

"Obviously, the earlier this indoctrination begins, the better its chances of overriding traditional values. The question is not how urgently children in kindergarten need to be taught about sex but how important it is for indoctrinators to get an early start."

Thomas Sowell is one of the clearest thinkers and writers I have ever read. He always gets to the point, and clears the muddied waters. It must be generational, he puts younger columnists to shame by never getting sidetracked.

Thomas Sowell is always a steady head amidst a sea of confusion and disinformation.
My sister-in-law was on a school board in Illinois when the unfunded mandate of this law was passed. In her opinion one of the worst aspects of the law was the implication of the law that girls are always victims and guys are always the aggressors. She has recently emailed me the entire law....and there has been no embellishment by the McCain campaign in what the law mandated.

Because one of the biggest and realest of all issues is the outlook and character of the President of the United States.

This needs to be repeated every time Obama and his followers try to brush aside questions about his past involvement with questionable characters.

"a man of high ideals but no principles"

Well, he, like Satan, does have principles....

[jazusamo]

It is appalling to think anyone in their right mind could be for this.

[Falconspeed]

Awesome. Thanks.

[jazusamo]

Exactly and he and his cronies have so far been very effective in brushing them aside.

[Abe XVI]

Right on! Once again, Sowell provides persuasive and communicable talking points to be applied to fence sitters and even the “children” lulled by the siren song of the pied piper.

Obama must be stopped!

[Ten Beers Gone]

G. Gordon Liddy is right: Dr. Sowell is The Smartest Man in America.

[MHGinTN]

A man of words but not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds ... during the first debate, Obama stated that inspite of the debt suddenly foisted upon the fed, he would consider 'early childhood/kindergarten an area where we must spend more despite the financial load it entails.' When Lehrer asked what new programs the candidates would consider cutting back on if elected, Obama went first to the thing he and Bill AYers had worked on int he Chicago area, spending more than $200,000,000 without much to show for it leaving Obama telling the Illinois legislature they needed a massive infusion of more money to accomplish the 'reforms' Ayers and he in their 'charitable foundations' envisioned.

It scares the bejeebers out of me when I read a column from Thomas Sowell addressing the same dark notions rumbling in my own novice brain. I'm so thankful for his insights.

[lewislynn]

Whose quotes are those?

[mlocher]

Thomas Sowell is always a steady head amidst a sea of confusion and disinformation.

Sowell has strong values and he never forgets them regardless of the difficult issues at hand.

[rockinqsranch]

He’s definitely NOT of RIGHT mind. (l’il play on words there lol)

[jazusamo]

Right on both counts! :-)
