Telling a friend that the love of his life is a phony and dangerous is not likely to get him to change his mind. But it may cost you a friend.
It is much the same story with true believers in Barack Obama. They have made up their minds and not only don't want to be confused by the facts, they resent being told the facts.
An e-mail from a reader mentioned trying to tell his sister why he was voting against Obama but, when he tried to argue some facts, she cut him short: "You don't like him and I do!" she said. End of discussion.
When one thinks of all the men who have put their lives on the line in battle to defend and preserve this country, it is especially painful to think that there are people living in the safety and comfort of civilian life who cannot be bothered to find out the facts about candidates before voting to put the fate of this nation, and of generations yet to come, in the hands of someone chosen because they like his words or style.
Of the four people running for President and Vice President on the Republican and Democratic tickets, the one we know the least about is the one leading in the polls — Barack Obama.
Some of Senator Obama's most fervent supporters could not tell you what he has actually done on such issues as crime, education, or financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, much less what he plans to do to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear nation supplying nuclear weapons to the international terrorist networks that it has supplied with other weapons.

“Thomas Sowell is an asset to America.
A rare asset.”
Thomas Sowell...the smartest man in America! God bless him.
Correct, and though they're the worst the rest of the enemedia!
I’d trust Sowell over Obama or McCain.
But that’s not the choice unfortunately.
I just wish the blind would try and understand the ravages Obama will set upon this country. They are not immune to this as they think and they will not be receiving any money. Obama has no intention of setting them free from anything or he would have done so while he was in Ill.
I hope more than anything they will finally come to realize before it is too late that Obama is not like them.
You’re exactly right and they’re blind because they won’t see, not because they can’t.
If Bambi wins, he'd better respect the Constitution. Otherwise, he might find himself on an extended vacation at Camp David while the country gets itself sorted out and him removed from office.
“Change” is not a plan, it is a direction, unspecified at that.
“Hope” is not a coherent philosophy, it is merely an emotion.
Dittos to that.
Thanks for the ping! I love reading Thomas Sowell!!
