Thomas Sowell: "Barack Obama is by no means stupid."

Conceivably, these might all have been simply blunders. But such a string of blunders would require someone very stupid, and Barack Obama is by no means stupid. The net effect is that in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, America's allies and America's interests face far more setbacks and dangers today than when Obama took office.

Just like it was sort of a plan or something....

And now we are confirmed in our suspicions about their lies.

Mitch Rapp said...: I agree! He knows exactly what he is doing. And what he is doing is working to degrade the United States as an influential world power while establishing an imported democrat majority voter base so that the U.S. stays degraded and under democrat control in definitely. This will most certainly lead to an armed conflict, because maintaining democrat control will require voter fraud like has never been seen before. It will require disarming and ELIMINATING any opposition, mainly conservatives.
This is why there will most certainly be an armed conflict with Obama's socialist government at some point in the very near future. Thank God there are millions of Americans that see this coming and have armed themselves, making ready for the conflict.

Paul X said...: "The net effect is that in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, America's allies and America's interests face far more setbacks and dangers today than when Obama took office."

Well, they aren't "America's interests", but American ruling class interests, which are entirely distinct from our interests. To the extent that Obama has degraded "the United States as an influential world power", he has been doing us a favor. America was not designed to be an Empire, and American liberty has suffered tremendously since it became one. Washington warned against "entangling alliances"...

It looks like Sowell has given up what interest he had in liberty, and become just another neocon warmonger.; February 24, 2015 at 11:07 AM
Jack Crabb said...: Who says Obummer is smart? I have seen about as much evidence of that as I have of his being a great speaker. He is, in my humble opinion, neither bright nor a great speaker.; February 24, 2015 at 2:14 PM

Anonymous said...: I cannot agree that Barack Obama is a smart man.

I think Barack Obama is nothing more than a puppet controlled by ruthless people who use him as the front man for their schemes.

I heard an interview, several years ago, in which Obama was asked about the Constitution. Obama effectively regurgitated left wing indoctrination regarding negative versus positive liberties. Not a single unique thought or phrasing in the entire portion of the interview I heard.

Obama is a used car salesman in a better suit without the integrity.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
