Obama's plan to destroy our free market system for socialism is now awakening us to how he got to be President in the first place, The hope and change mantra left us with hope, but completely ignorant of what the change was! That could have meant anything, and we were so happy to think it meant a better life for everybody we were taken in "hook line and sinker"as the old southern saying goes. Our eyes are now open to what that change was for him, and Americans are not stupid. Do we want a Dictator? we now have one!

Expect Maureen Dowd to find reasons to assess anything about this President, Obama, in a positive manner as she evidently supports him, period. Amazing how she has to trash the characters of the ones she opposes, as that is her defense: words to kill the opposition! As the Scripture says, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue" and she has perfected that.

When we allow a president to subvert our basic tenets as enumerated in our constitution and bill of rights, we have no one to blame but our electing representatives and senators who are too cowardly to face truth and do something about it. This president will become a dictator if he is not challenged by a new set of people in Washington who have enough backbone to stand up to his tactics to create chaos, thus increasing his power to take charge and "do us in" as the cherished nation we have enjoyed over the centuries of our existence!

Thanks for putting into words we can understand what is happening in our own beloved land today! Only the Grace of a benevolent God can whack us and open our eyes to the true state we are heading for if we remain sleeping!

Yes, this one man has sought to undo most of our constitutional form of government that has made us a nation that others wants to enter and become a part of! Have you ever pondered why? A Power grab to control, and in so doing make us become like the nations they are fleeing from?

Thanks for speaking a truth that has not been heard today by millions of voters who are too lazy and preoccupied with their own problems to face reality! Only the grace of a benevolent God can open our eyes to what is happening to a beloved nation founded on the principles of the Bible that he left us for successful life here on this planet!

Sorry, but to take any politician apart and diagnose him for the public to gnaw on, is the height of hypocrisy and arrogance! It opens you up to the same inspection as to our won character and personhood! We are all full of flaws, so let us be a little more tolerant of others!!

Americans have one core choice: Do we want the federal government to control our lives from birth to grave, ala President Obama, or to have the personal freedom to make our own choices in life, succeed or fail? Free Market or Communism, period!

"Fairness" is in the eye of the beholder! Who judges what is fair, the pauper, the wealthy, or just the President? We were never guaranteed a life with "fairness" but the chance to do our best and have the freedoms to try! Great slogan, but meaningless!

Dr, Sowell, you are particularly gifted in ferreting out the truth in whatever topic is being used today to manipulate people to fit a mold of someone's imagination. I appreciate and read your columns regularly and pray you will continue to bless us with your gifts!
