Usually I am at least 95% with Thomas Sowell, with this article I find myself disagreeing somewhat with him.
Where I do agree with him are the following paragraphs which perfectly describes Obama and his staff and appointments. During the recent 9 months we have been hit constantly with Obama's newest Executive Order or an order through his appointees such as HHS or a public speech. His pronouncements against marriage being one example and of course the mandates of Obamacare.
The Democrat Congress, especially the Senate, has allowed him to romp all over them as he takes the power out of the House and the Senate whom we the people elected.
Some of us call Obama a Socialists. Then, there are some who believe he is verging on being a dictator.
Read these two paragraphs------this describes Mr. Obama ----"take the decisions out of the hands of the lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat". And of course by Obama's fiat.
As Thomas Sowell wrote so well:
What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people -- like themselves -- need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.
The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, "We the People..."
Finally, a great American, Thomas Sowell, shows that the "emperor has no clothes." Obama indeed is a Fascist!!
