Video: Thomas Sowell on American Collapse: Chapter 1 of 5
NRO ^ | August 16, 2010 | Peter Robinson/The Corner

Posted on 08/16/2010 9:23:36 AM PDT by jazusamo

VIDEO 7:16 min.

This week on Uncommon Knowledge, Thomas Sowell, economist, social observer, journalist and author.  A fellow at the Hoover Institution, Dr. Sowell has just published a new volume, Dismantling AmericaWhom does Dr. Sowell accuse of dismantling the nation?  Among others, the President of the United States.

I see Obama as someone who all his life has been associated with, and part of, a group of people who fundamentally don’t believe in the principles of this country — people who think that Americans need to be changed, whether we want to be or not.

Sowell deals in truth and reality. The left hates him for it.

Thank You, God, for the voices and minds of Thomas Sowell, Jessee Peterson, Alan Keyes, Walter Williams, in this time. They dare to speak and stand for America and our Constitution and way of life. Notice how little press they receive. It is more like suppression. Help us in our day return to life that is pleasing to Our God and His Scriptures, in Jesus name, amen

I think a vast majority of Freepers were well aware of this before the election. I am not sure, but maybe the destruction of the economy is just one of his "methods" of change?

I’ve no doubt you’re right about Obama using the destruction of the economy as a method of change. He and his thugs are using that to reshape and redistribute to control us, IMO.

I love NR’s Uncommon Knowledge, even though Peter Robinson might be a tad too bookish for my tastes. I was “stoked” as the kids say, when I logged onto NRO and saw that Sowell was on Uncommon Knowledge this week.
