Wait. They're actually supposed to TEACH in school? I thought they were there for babysitting & to stroke their little egos by letting everybody win at everything. I've got friends who are teachers who are frustrated at the limits & hobbles placed on good teachers.

David, I would agree except that I've been reading LD's posts for a long time. Look up hyperbole & satire then re-read this post.

When it comes to a sheep & his shepherd, I have only one, and he ain't in the government. Beck once called Sunstein the most dangerous man in America. People like this are only dangerous to the extent that people listen to them. In 99.9% of the people in this administration, I only hear "Blah, blah, blah" when their mouths are moving. That's because most of what they say has already been written in a history book under dismal failures. Thank you Dr. Sowell. Very cogent points.

Guys, it's ok. Everyone has a place & I doubt that guywithaheart would enjoy Texas. Here, you're expected to stand on your on feet & man-up when things get bad. I'd really hate to see him go through such trauma. Now, excuse me. I've got to go warn the governor's office what happens when you allow (or invite) too many liberals to move in. I used to live in Seattle. Californians did a job on their economy that it hasn't ever recovered from.

Another reason that I don't, & never will, watch anything that has Oprah attached to it.

What debate? All I see is post after post about racist lies. So much for sticking to the subject. As for the buyback programs, let those sheep who wish to be led to the slaughter give up their guns for a gift card to IHOP or whatever. Free people don't sell out. Free people don't consider laying down and giving up. Take it for what you will, guns are a part of our heritage and if they were so evil, the United States would never have been. We wouldn't have survived the Colonial Period when EVERYBODY had a gun. oodthat, go peddle it somewhere else. You're boring.

I'll go along with this, but boy are we going to have a hard time getting them all in one 8x10 cell. Sound like fun.

Dr. Adams, please tell us that this isn't a parody. Certainly by 2016 pretty much everyone will be tired of the current occupant or should be & except for a few students that you've taken to task over their inability to think, you would probably find this platform very attractive. Just assure us you're serious, & we can go to work.

I'll join you if he can do all this.

The right needs to move further right in contrast to those in the middle and left. Knowing where you stand and why you believe what you do, without equivocation, leads to boldness in standing for what you believe. Drawing upon history can strengthen those arguments that hold the most promise for the most people. Showing the failures of the past, with concise arguments as to why they failed will serve any candidate whether GOP or 3rd party. A 3rd party could conceivably win if they began soon enough to provide sound, vetted candidates to the public that stood without apology on firm proven grounds. Great article, Dr. Sowell.
