Thomas Sowell--a great American


Thomas Sowell has to be one of the smartest and best thinkers of our time. Read this article he wrote for National Review Online. The title is: "Dangerous Demagoguery--Beware candidates who inspire but don't inform."

All the jabber about CHANGE is annoying. Here's a great Sowell quote from the article: "
Many people find it thrilling that the mantra of “change” is ringing out across the land during this election year. But let’s do what the politicians hope that we will never do — stop and think.

It is doubtful whether there is a single human being in this entire country who is 100 percent satisfied with everything that is going on. In other words, everybody is for change. The real difference between liberals and conservatives is in which specific things they want to change, and in what way."

Liberals and conservatives are SO FAR APART--liberals are about feelings. Conservatives feel, formulate, and ACT. We don't sit around and moan and groan. We actually DO THINGS to achieve success. Liberals decry their victimhood. Conservatives can take any situation and gain success through hard work. That's why we love this country and keep forging ahead. That's why we're positive people.
