Teaching and discussing Economics; if you understand at least some economics, you won't vote for a liberal

Thomas Sowell   "The Chronicle of Higher Education also reported on the students. The feckless behavior of today’s students in all three courses makes me glad that I left the classroom long ago, and do my teaching today solely through my writings."
Political Cartoons by Glenn Foden
Forbes; To Discredit The Anti-Capitalists, Pro-Capitalists Need To Learn How To Use Words  "It was supposed to be a parody of deep-sounding but vacuous pronouncements. But the joke turns out to be on him: since words *are* the tools of language, they are the tools of thought. That means you must resist unto death using the terminology of your enemy. The side that controls language controls thought.
"Anti-capitalists are onto this fact. Pro-capitalists need to catch up–especially since the mainstream media are dominated by anti-capitalists, who insinuate their distorted terms into what would otherwise seem to be open debate."

Does this sound like a man who understands business?

Can't anybody here play this game?

Chris Rock Wishes Us 'Happy White Peoples Independence Day'

Breitbart   "Still carrying a grudge against a country that has made Chris Rock wealthy and famous way beyond where his waning talents should've taken him, this was how the once-interesting and once-edgy comedian celebrated the 4th of July on Twitter today:" 



Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren't free but I'm sure they enjoyed fireworks


"To divisive racialists like Rock, nothing will ever be enough. Not a Civil War, not electing a black president, not making "Head of State" a modest hit. 
"There is, however, a special day coming up I think we can ALL enjoy, and that's March 15, the one-year anniversary of the big, tough, bad ass Chris Rock attacking a woman."

"The land on which they formed this Union was stolen. The hands with which they built this nation were enslaved. The women who birthed the citizens of the nation are second class."




By way of contrast, Debbie Schlussel gives us this bit of tribute to my favorite detective:

Peter Falk: Proud American, Proud Pro-Israel Jew, of Blessed Memory "You may not know this but Peter Falk was a proud, pro-Israel Jew, in addition to being a proud American.  He served in the U.S. Merchant Marine during World War II, after being rejected from the U.S. Armed Forces because of his glass eye.  But  he also volunteered to fight for Israel against Egypt in the 1948 War of Independence.  He was a proud, pro-Israel Jew.  From the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles:"...

ON JULY 4, REMEMBER: WE ARE NOT FRENCH

Ann Coulter  "The French Revolution is the godless antithesis to the founding of America.
Bing

"One rather important difference is that Americans did win freedom and greater individual rights with their revolution, creating a republic. France’s revolution consisted of pointless, bestial savagery, followed by another monarchy, followed by Napoleon’s dictatorship and then finally something resembling an actual republic 80 years later.
"Both revolutions are said to have come from the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers, the French Revolution informed by the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the American Revolution influenced by the writings of John Locke. This is like saying presidents Reagan and Obama both drew on the ideas of Twentieth Century economists — Reagan on the writings of Milton Friedman and Obama on the writings of Paul Krugman."
