Editor's notes: Sarah Palin read this piece and recommended it. The Hill pretends the article equates Obama to Hitler -- mano a mano - when, in point of fact, Sowell sees a similarity between Hitler's misuse of national law and Obama's practice of doing precisely the same thing --------- the article is about the comparison of issues, not personalites. But leave it to The Hill, a liberal leaning news outlet, to misunderstand Sowell's message. Who knows, maybe they did understand and decided to defeat Sowell's point by lying about it. You read, you decide ----- jds.
Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?
And, without constitutional government, freedom cannot endure. There will always be a "crisis" — which, as the president's chief of staff has said, cannot be allowed to "go to waste" as an opportunity to expand the government's power. . . . . .
When Franklin D. Roosevelt arbitrarily took the United States off the gold standard, he cited a law passed during the First World War to prevent trading with the country's wartime enemies. . . during the worldwide Great Depression, the German Reichstag passed a law "for the relief of the German people."
That law gave Hitler dictatorial powers that were used for things going far beyond the relief of the German people . . . . The man appointed by President Obama to dispense BP's money as the administration sees fit, to whomever it sees fit, is only the latest in a long line of presidentially appointed "czars" controlling different parts of the economy, without even having to be confirmed by the Senate, as Cabinet members are.
Those who cannot see beyond the immediate events to the issues of arbitrary power — vs. the rule of law and the preservation of freedom — are the "useful idiots" of our time. But useful to whom? READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>>>

In an article we wrote on June 14, we made the point that consevatives are better informed than liberals by a margin of 2 to 1 -- according to Zogby polling. The folks at The Hill prove our point.

There is more pressure on Democrats than most people know. The nation has spoken and said, "The Dems are too liberal."
I love Dr. Sowell....he is so smart and for years has been right on the money...
ReplyDeleteI read your Churchill quote .at the top of your page... now I see why Obama sent the "Churchill" bust that was in the oval office back to Britain ....although he should not have, it was a gift to America after 9/11....but now I see why he did it..."thanks"
