Must read from Thomas Sowell

Thomas Sowell has a brilliant, and important piece out today. It is called Dismantling America A small sample

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many “czars” appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another “czar” would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers– that is, to create a situation where some newspapers’ survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Be sure to read the whole column, it will, or at least should make anyone rading it rethink Obama’s agenda. I will give you one more taste of Sowell at his best, raising the very same point I recently raised about the radicals surrounding Obama through his life.

Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children.

Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn’t know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?

Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government– people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America’s influence in the world.

As I wrote here 

Like I have opined before, the excessive number of radical, anti-American, pro-Mao, far Left nuts that have ties to Obama is too strong to ignore. It is clear that they are representative of what Obama believes, and of where his ideology lies. These are not people that once spoke to Obama or who shared a cab with him once. These are people who are in his past, are his friends, are in his adminstration, and who he continues to appoint to key positions.

They ARE who Obama is.

Yes, Obama is, indeed, what he is. And that is very bad for America, and her values.
