THOMAS SOWELL, SENIOR FELLOW, HOOVER INSTITUTE: Thank you. Good to be here.
BECK: So let me start with that question — are we are still a capitalist country?
SOWELL: Oh, heavens. Partially.
We're not a socialist country, because the socialists believe in government ownership in the means of production, but the fascists believe that the government should have private ownership and the politicians should tell people how to run the businesses. So that's the route we seem to be going.
• Video: Watch Beck's interview
BECK: So what route is that again?
SOWELL: The private people still own the businesses but the politicians tell them what to do.
BECK: Right, but isn't that — I'm trying to remember, that's —
SOWELL: That's fascism.
BECK: Yes, I was going to say, I knew it was a bad one. And I was going to say, I think that's fascism. Yeah. OK. Well you're a crazy lunatic. Why would you say we're going down a fascist road?
SOWELL: Only because we are.

Awesome thanks guy!
Great! Obama skips the whole socialism thing and jumps straight into facism. I think I am gonna plant one across the jaw of my libtard neighbor across the street today.
SOWELL: .... Now in this the case of this particular judge [Sotomeyer], I think her own actions are such that we don’t have to look to her friends to tell us what she is all about. I mean, the firefighters’ case in Connecticut was a classic.
BECK: Do you think that was racist? I said yesterday that I thought she was a racist and I got heat for it.
SOWELL: Well, the truth does that to people.
BECK: I love you.
“The American people will not knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, Socialist Leader, Sotomayor’s Intellectual Hero
Over-regulation leading to government mandates for their outcomes. It’s time to restore private property, to strip the national government of its powers that enumerated by the Constitution (as outlined in Federalist Paper No. 45—which is 20 if anyone’s is counting), and to invoke home rule.
The bigger question I have is “Are we still a Republic and do we have the guts to keep it that way?”
Sotomayor IS for RACIAL PROFILING! Why don’t the liberals see their obvious hypocrisy?
Anyone who believes in Affirmative Action IS FOR RACIAL PROFILING!!!
This is the kind of soundbyte that will catch on. Pass it around!
I love his characterization of Sotomayor;
“Racism Under New Management”.
I don’t know what to think of Beck. Sowell, as usual, is awesome. Can he be anything else? One thing we need to understand about the Fascism we are experiencing now, is that it is headed somewhere, and the final solution isn’t fascist partnerships. The Communist have decided to use Fascism as a means to reaching their end. 0 is a Marxist, through and through. Our Marxist oligarchy isn’t interested in working through private business to accomplish their goals. At least not for any longer than it is absolutely necessary. Sooner or later the fascist trappings will start to drop.
Next term “Obamma-ramma, President for life.”
There isn’t a whole lot of difference between fascism and socialism except the name. The concept of private ownership is a sham when the government controls what you do with “your” property.
He's done an outstanding job of exposing ACORN.
As someone who's worked for the Census, I can tell you that the last thing we need is ACORN involved in any way with the Census.
I don't trust Beck...i hope Sowell doesn't either.
