		<description><![CDATA[You and Thomas Sowell nailed it.  I completely agree that Sowell is a &quot;national treasure&quot;.  Every word he has written is emboldened common sense with an intellectual perspective.  He is magnificent!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was with horror that I saw the veterans of the 1960s conduct their long march through US institutions. Their policies (anti-American) are now hegemonic, but not everywhere. The fact that only half the country has been hornswoggled is encouraging. We just have to identify the enemy accurately. Sowell makes this very clear. See http://clarespark.com/2012/10/15/orwell-power-and-the-totalitarian-state/. &quot;Orwell, power, and the &#039;totalitarian&#039; state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no innocent, lawful justification for Obama&#039;s datamining of the phone records of all 100+ million Verizon and other telecommunications customers here in America. It has nothing to do with our &quot;safety&quot; or &quot;national security.&quot;
How does the &quot;approval&quot; of some committee chairmen behind closed doors (or even of all 535 members of Congress, for that matter, if they&#039;d been asked and had consented) and some judges trump the Fourth Amendment&#039;s crystal-clear stipulation that &quot;no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized&quot;? Does &quot;particularly describing&quot; mean &quot;give us ALL of your records--on ALL your customers&quot;? If we were talking about a mosque known or suspected to breed and harbor terrorists, or a Mafia syndicate, that, at least, might make some sense. But not Verizon or AT&amp;T.

The &quot;underwear bomber&quot; and the Boston Marathon terrorists were all specifically identified to us in advance, by name (the first by his own father, who warned our embassy in Nigeria; the others by the Russians, who are less squeamish about dealing with jihadists than our PC leaders are) and even so, not a finger was lifted by the FBI or the NSA, or the TSA, to prevent those terrorists from attacking. Not even an undercover sting operation to discover what they might be planning. (Because they were all Moslems and therefore &quot;untouchable,&quot; perhaps? Then what other excuse can be concocted?)
After what the IRS did with &quot;strictly confidential&quot; tax returns and applications (or what the Clintons did with the &quot;raw&quot; FBI files on 900 Bush Republicans, which &quot;carelessly&quot; ended up in the hands of a toxic pornographer, for use as blackmail during the impeachment) no sane person can trust any current Government agency or corrupt, ruthless politician to behave ethically and legally with privileged information or files that might be useful as a weapon against entirely peaceable, fully law-abiding domestic political critics. And if the no-fly list is &quot;too big and unwieldy&quot; to be of any use, or a &quot;misspelled name&quot; throws the G-Men completely off a terrorist&#039;s trail, then what good is it at all?
Let&#039;s concentrate on going after the bad guys--vigorously--and keep the files on the rest of us out of the hands of the thugs and extortionists who&#039;ve shown they can never be trusted with them. Imagine how upset they&#039;d be if the files of the DNC, or the Obama re-election campaign, were &quot;carelessly&quot; distributed to those who might use them for nefarious purposes &quot;without authorization.&quot; 
The days of the clean-as-a-hound&#039;s-tooth Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as FBI Inspector Erskine are long gone...if they ever existed at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.....and everything he&#039;s propounding here is undeniably true.

Still, the debilitation to the national psyche that he&#039;s referring to is not necessarily as profound as one might believe. Forty years ago, Watergate and the impending defeat in Vietnam were every bit as damaging or more-so, but we not only survived as a nation, we were restored during the Reagan years.

My only point here is that while Obama and his scandals are transitory phenomenon, the demographic changes in America, the decline of education, the war on wealth-creation and productivity via the regulatory maze, the explosion of our national debt,....these are much more far-reaching and permanent. By 2017, Obama will be irrelevant, but the issues highlighted above won&#039;t be. They are embedded into the national fabric....and they&#039;ll keep pushing us ever closer to the precipice of systemic failure..]]></description>
