Had no idea Sowell was 75 years young! And loved these items... Mr. Sowell’s thoughts about Liberals: Calls them “self anointed” because they feel they know how to make government make things better. Instead of allowing people to do for themselves. Like with New Orleans and the “young hoodlums” on the street. The government gives them money, so they had time on their hands to get into trouble. It is a recipe for disaster in any society. Liberals care about their vision, but not real life human beings. Like school busing of Blacks, the evidence shows it really did not help anyone. The Social Justice that Liberals want requires too much power in too few hands and is more dangerous than what Liberals want social justice to fight. Labor and equal wage laws for women: How can you value a female nurse’s work in comparison with a man working on an oil rig? Regarding Wal Mart salaries that Liberals complain about. If the workers felt they were not fairly compensated they would leave. Liberals want to help the disadvantaged, while Conservatives want to stop people from being disadvantaged in the first place. Liberals feel the institutions are bad and if they were better the world would be better. Conservatives feel man in flawed and for every fix implemented there is a trade-off and we must work to make the best of those trade-offs. That’s all we can hope for. 3 questions that destroy most Liberal arguments: 1. Compared to What? 2. At What Cost? 3. What hard evidence do you have? Most Liberal ideas can’t pass those questions, while Conservative ideas can. Liberals want to stamp out the “last vestige of segregation” he ask “at what price”?
