"Politeness and consideration for others is Like Investing Pennies and Getting Dollars Back”
"One of the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are unable to make a coherent argument. They can vent their emotions, question other people’s motives, make bold assertions, repeat slogans — anything except reason."
“It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.”
"Compared to what?"
"At what Cost?"
"What hard evidence do you have?"

If you're a fan of Thomas Sowell and you respond to my arguments by flagrantly ignoring his bedrock beliefs above, what does that say about you? And what does it say that for over 3 years, I've been practically spit on by people promoting principles I followed to find Sowell didn't. On irrefutable evidence of mathematical certainty (the manipulation of which shaped everything you see today): He flagrantly ignored the evidence -- opting to peddle partisan hackery that poisons political discourse to do this day.
My words: Out of 31 tubes in subsequent testing, only one was successfully spun to 90,000 RPM for 65 minutes — which the CIA seized on as evidence in their favor. . . . DOE’s standard is to spin a tube at 20% above 90,000 RPM before failure — so 48,000 short is a pretty loose definition of “rough indication.”
Sowell's words: “People who talk glibly about ‘intelligence failure’ act as if intelligence agencies that are doing their job right would know everything.”
Which ones strike you as glib?
The story I’m out to tell takes both parties to task on the biggest and most costly lie in modern history — along with some other issues at the core of America’s decline. Sowell is simply a conduit through which to tell that story (and how his role within it could be harnessed for good). Compelling him to admit where he’s wrong will work wonders for where he’s right. But rather than discovering that, his crowd immediately makes excuses for him (which is egregiously out of line with the principles upon which he's put on a pedestal).
"So you found one small crack in Sowell’s character where he defended Iraq having WMD, does that hurt his credibility?"
This man muddied the waters of debate to serve himself: On a "little" matter of war in the Middle East in the aftermath of 9/11. On top of unconscionably ignoring irrefutable evidence of world-altering consequence, he has a habit of toeing the party line. Not only did Sowell flagrantly fail to follow the facts on all-things Iraq — he brazenly ignored the debauchery in his own party to "politely" pounce on the other.
In light of his history being wildly out of sync with his sanctimonious claims: That “one small crack” is a wide-open window into his character and credibility. I wouldn’t care if Sowell cured cancer: You don’t get a pass for basking in baseless beliefs that cripple the country — and have the bottomless nerve to preach responsibility and accountability to boot. That is a cancer of its own. The poison he pumped into the atmosphere helped destroy the internal organs of America. So we have very different standards as to what qualifies as a “National Treasure.”

Clifton, you might find some informative and delightful material listening to Mr. Sowell and his dear friend Walter Williams banter back and forth when Mr. Williams guest hosted for Rush Limbaugh. These were my favorite Limbaugh episodes. Also listen to Mr Sowell testify in support of Supreme Court judge nominee. I believe it was Clarence Thomas - but may have been Robert Bork.

When Duncan mentioned that Jay Bhattacharya is his friend; that brought me tremendous joy.

Thanks John I’m very excited about this!
Looking forward to seeing Duncan's portrayal of Thomas Sowell on stage.
