I came across this Thomas Sowell Analysis of the OWS movement:
This is why I became a conservative. Enjoy!
Dr. Sowell has served on the faculties of several universities, including Cornell and University of California, Los Angeles, and worked for "think tanks" such as the Urban Institute. Since 1980 he has worked at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of more than 30 books.
By Thomas Sowell:
"The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date
of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America
where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is
an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy
the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.
It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers
and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare
and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American
civil society.
It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals:
defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an
America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a
free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where
our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's
guaranteed liberties.
It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American
people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi,
Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal
college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members
will live in opulent splendor.
It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the
willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood , unions, universities, the
Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American
foreign entities.
Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than
any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he
and his comrades are capable of.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the
annihilation of America .
'Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual
could ignore or evade it.' "
--Thomas Sowell
Absolutely agree 100%. I hate what has happened to this great nation.
ReplyDeleteIdiocy
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing Leticia. I hate it too.I never saw so much division by any president with his finger pointing and his blame game. Thomas Sowell got the sentiments of many Americans right.
ReplyDeleteIdiocy-Yes Fred I agree,with Thomas Sowell.
By Thomas Sowell:
ReplyDelete"The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule."
Interesting observation, since in the 2010 elections, the GOP took over the House of Representatives and John Boner became the Speaker of the House, and several large states: Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, for example, elected a Republican as their leader and chief executive, so Sowell, in his overblown rhetoric, believes these GOP politicians are lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant, and incompetent? Can’t argue with him on that.
"It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy
the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly."
Yeah. That would be the Banksters and the lying cheating Wall Street gangs as well as corporations who outsource their help and pay no taxes that contributed to our financial meltdown.
"It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves."
Sowell, of course, is out of his mind. I have grandchildren in public schools on the east and west coasts, and not one of them has learned that America honors Hitler, Mao, or Stalin. By making that idiotic statement, Sowell loses all claims as a sober-minded commenter. Sowell backs up his claim with nothing. Nada. Because he has nothing to prove his stupid statement.

ReplyDelete"It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society."
Again, Sowell uses overheated rhetoric with no examples of his accusations. IOW he takes rumors and lies and turns them into facts. Anyone can make outrageous assertions without evidence, as this rhetorical wild man does. Doesn't make them true.
"It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a
free press and individual rights, have been rejected."
Seriously? This man is out of his head. Where’s the evidence? He offers absolutely none, except the fevered rantings of a maniac. Which churches, temples, mosques have been burned to the ground? Which newspaper, cable or commercial teevee, radio, has the government invaded and closed down? The OWS is proof that the government has NOT interferre with our Rights. But Sowell is so caught up in his unsubstantiated nonsense that he doesn't see the reality in front of his nose.
"It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's
guaranteed liberties."
Yeah. Right. Just the other day we all witnessed how a police force attacked peaceful demonstrators at UC-Davis and Berkley and trampled on our liberties--but that wasn’t the federal government, it was a private police force.
"It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American
people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama..."
Poor demented Sowell. Michelle Obama doesn’t “rule” anyone or anything. And the president “governs” not “rules.” But apparently Sowell doesn’t know American history or he wouldn’t have written such a stupid sentence.
"Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members
will live in opulent splendor."
Opulent splendor? Oh, you mean like running up a Tiffany’s jewelry bill to the tune of half a million dollars? You mean THAT sort of splendor? Or where folks like Mitt Romney buy multi-million dollar homes all over the country and then knock one down so he can make it larger? That sort of opulence? Yeah. Disgusting.
"It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood , unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American
foreign entities."
No wonder a lot of conservatives are foaming at the mouth. This guy plays into their every fear and ignorant nightmare, and offers no proof or evidence for any of his manic fantasies.
"Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of."
Wow! Mr. Obama has brought more wreckage to America than did the Civil War [where 600,000 Americans died], more destruction than the Great Depression, than Pearl Harbor, than the assassination of John Kennedy, and more destruction than September 11th?
Are you sure this Sowell guy isn’t on hallucinatory drugs? I hope so, because if he were sober when he wrote that, then that alone is proof of his disturbed and mangled mind and qualifies him as America's stupidest commentator.
Lisa, you posted this on your blog as a great assessment of where America is?
Ah, I forgot. You like false facts.
Hey Shaw it's the OWS protests where you see support for communism and anti-semitism sentiments.
ReplyDeleteThey are everything the left accused the Tea Party of being and more and now Obama and Pelosi tries to compare it with the Tea Party when they were calling them racist and AstroTurfing Wake up and join the lawlessness in our streets, It's more fitting for you to support a bunch of "gimme more" party.
Plus why are they creating kaos to everyday citizens? When they partition DC then maybe they will get a little more credible, but I don't suspect to see that anytime soon being Obama is the one behind this movement. Why should we believe any different when his resume is one of street agitating?
Lisa, as usual, you didn't address the number of idiotic statements and unsubstantiated claims made in the Sowell rant. Instead, you changed the subject and redirected. Nice dodge.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have no idea what you're talking about in the above comment. Who the hell said anything about dividing up DC?
And your claim that Obama is behind the OWS movement is risible. You offer no proof or evidence to back up that nonsense, but then, you and people like Sowell never do. You just say stuff and expect people to swallow it whole.
Sorry. Your answer and Sowell's rant amount to no more than school yard taunts and imagined threats. When you can base your claims on evidence and facts, I'll pay attention.
blah blah blah Shaw go collect your paycheck after Obama signs it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way ones' for you:

ReplyDeleteLisa, you're a classic. You cannot refute anything I've written here so you write "blah, blah, blah?"
ReplyDeleteI know a 5-year old I'd like you to meet who would be enchanted with your level of intellectual discourse.
I know a five year who blames everyone else their failures.
ReplyDeleteEvidence-You don't Obama is embracing the OWS movement? He wants this,he must because he is cheering them on instead of trying to ease tensions. He's no leader,his class warfare rhetoric is fueling the flames of unrest. But he made sure to ignore the non violent tea parties and you and your ilk called regular Americans names and even Pelosi called them Astro turfers.
And their reaction to it fueled more flames. This is what they want and if you don't think they are a part of it then that is your own ignorance.
This is why they lost in 2010 and why he will lose in 2012. We need a uniter not a speech giver with a turned up nose waiting for applause after every sentence.
Too many Dependent and/or Ignorant in this country. We'll see how many there really are in a year.
ReplyDeleteSowell is an amazing guy; thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeletethanks guys I must say I do miss Shaw sometimes . I really do like getting into with her. She's like the Cirque du Soleil of blogs. Entertaining because you can't believe the things she comes up with.
ReplyDeleteI think you meant The Cirque du Freak.
ReplyDelete"...thanks guys I must say I do miss Shaw sometimes . I really do like getting into with her. She's like the Cirque du Soleil of blogs. Entertaining because you can't believe the things she comes up with."
ReplyDeleteCute, Lisa, but as I pointed out, changing the subject and avoiding answering what I wrote, which challenged Sowell's stupid rant, doesn't cut it.
If you had a rational counter-argument, you would have given it. You don't, so you didn't. Instead you and your malconted friend mock me?
That's a losing argument by people who have no counter-arguments and what people who cannot think and write use as a defense.
Again you've proven that you have no ability to look behind the ignorant rot that Sowell wrote to discover if any of it is, y'know, true.
Today on my blog I documented, with a link to the evidence, that Governor Sam Brownback, a conservative, actually interferred with an American citizen's freedom of speech and who admitted snooping into people's twitters to see if citizens in his state are disparaging him on their Twitter accounts; and meteing out punishment for speaking ill of Kansas's chief executive. How incredibly North Korean of him!
That, Lisa, is real; it is a violation of the First Amendment; and a conservative is guilty of it.
Shaw, if he's guilty, he's not a conservative. Pretty simple really.
ReplyDeleteKid, tell that to Sam Brownback. He calls himself a conservative.
ReplyDeleteAgain you've proven that you have no ability to look behind the ignorant rot that Sowell wrote to discover if any of it is, y'know, true.
ReplyDeleteNo need to look behind anything Shaw when it's right there in the open for all to see.
Instead you and your malconted friend mock me?
ReplyDeleteStop putting a giant target on your area code sized ass and inviting it so. You are about as sentient as the fleas infesting Michelle Obama's tail.
So gutter trash Barney Frank is slinking off to spend more time with Freddie's Fannie? Good. Fucking. Riddance!
Look just how beloved this tapioca throated sleaze was loved by his constituents. Comments here are over 90% rejoycing his gaping ass is gone.
Bye Barney, don't let the door hit you in the pleasure center.
I see you've attracted your favorite intellect, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteIt is curious that Radical Redneck always references sodomy in his comments. He has come to my blog in the past and linked to photos of men sodomizing each other.
Apparently, that's Radical's way of expressing his inner-most desires and philosophies. Afterall, a picture IS worth a thousand words. And we certainly "get" what dear little Radical is trying to tell us. Good for him. It’s always healthy to be in touch with your true self.
Radical Redneck has an inordinate obsession with anal sex, and Dr. Freud would have had a rollicking good time, I imagine, explaining why that is to Radical.
Please do continue, Radical, with your links and photos of men on men or men on beasts. It gives everyone here a profound insight into what gives YOU your deepest pleasures.
