I might tune in for that- I have not watched any cable news in at least a year since I dropped cable, but he is actually worth listening to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Sowell At 90. Isn't It High Time More of Us Listened to This Man? Fifty-five-plus books on the table and more on the way. Charter Schools and Their Enemies, another bestseller, is hot off the press. The Thomas Sowell corpus stands as one of the rare and most impressive monuments of massive and meticulous research ever erected on this earth by one person. He came up from 1930s poverty-stricken Jim Crow North Carolina, a high school dropout, a stint with the United States Marine Corps, scraping and clawing his way through the streets of post-Renaissance Harlem and then the halls of Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago (Ph.D.), and now he has four decades behind him at Stanford's Hoover Institution. One summer working a government job accomplished what multiple semesters under Nobel Prize–winning conservative economist Milton Friedman could not — it separated Sowell from his Marxist views. Sowell always tests theories by real life, not the reverse. And what a fruitful separation it has been. Sowell's books sell, and he boasts a global following, but the left works hard to keep his voice out of the mainstream and out of higher education. The pampered socialist and pre-Marxist products pumped out of our colleges and universities into the other culture-shaping institutions of America are proof enough of that. But a smitten stream of conservatives couldn't resist Sowell when he burst onto the national scene. There he was in 1981, poised and confident at 51, seated opposite William F. Buckley on PBS's Firing Line. But how much of Sowell's unmatched wisdom has really been examined and put to fruitful use across the decades? Not nearly enough.

Thomas Sowell is one of the most brilliant minds in our lifetimes. At worst his work is thought provoking and at best enlightening. but as everything with these vile posters, they boil everything down to race and if TS says things that don’t fit neatly into their box, he’s “trying to be white”. Only in the mind of a racist, communist would an accomplished, brilliant, black man be accused of selling out because he expresses his own thoughts.

B-Man Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Back to the thread...... THOMAS SOWELL ON THE MADNESS Mark Levin hosted Sowell on the FOX News show Life, Liberty & Levin last night. Below is the opening segment. The entire episode with Sowell is posted here on YouTube. In the opening segment Sowell addresses the cultural revolution that stares us in the teeth. “Even though I’m regarded as pessimistic,” he observes, “I was never pessimistic enough to think things would degenerate to the point where they are now where adult human beings are talking about getting rid of the police…” Sowell expresses astonishment at the lack of resistance to the madness: “I never dreamed we’d come to this point. It just seems such utter madness. And what is frightening is how many people in responsible positions are caving in to every demand that is made, repeating any kind of nonsense that you’re supposed to repeat.” Quotable quote: “If you insulate people from paying the price of being wrong, you’re going to get a lot of wrong things done.” Video at the link: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/07/thomas-sowell-on-the-madness.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, you've been saying that for a decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
