Cautionary words for America from Dr. Thomas Sowell

Are you familiar with Dr. Thomas Sowell?

"Thomas Sowell was born in North Carolina and grew up in Harlem. . . . After leaving the service, Thomas Sowell entered Harvard University, worked a part-time job as a photographer and studied the science that would become his passion and profession: economics.". . .  "In 1990, he won the prestigious Francis Boyer Award, presented by The American Enterprise Institute."Currently Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute in Stanford, Calif."

Sharing, I think, my concern that the nation which chose a petulant, vindictive juvenile president for - not one, but - two terms, has not learned and is ready to choose another petulant leader. TD

Doctor Sowell writes:
Last Chance for America? " The "Super Tuesday" primaries may be a turning point for America -- and quite possibly a turn for the worse. After seven long years of domestic disasters and increasing international dangers, the next President of the United States will need extraordinary wisdom, maturity, depth of knowledge and personal character to rescue America.
"Instead, if the polls are an indication, what we may get is someone with the opposite of all these things, a glib egomaniac with a checkered record in business and no track record at all in government -- Donald Trump.

"If so, the downward trajectory of America over the past seven years may well continue on into the future, to the point of no return." . . .

Last Chance for America? Part II   "After the results of "Super Tuesday," we find ourselves with front-runners in their respective parties who each could, as President of the United States, take the decline of America under the Obama administration, even further down, to a point of no return.

"As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was in charge of the foreign policy that destroyed governments in Egypt and Libya that were no threat to America's interests or allies, and plunged both countries into a turmoil from which only Egypt managed to rescue itself, while Libya has become another hotbed of terrorist activity.

"Yet Secretary Clinton is running on her "experience" -- even though it is an experience of unmitigated disasters for America, around the world. " . . .

"But politicians do not always do things that make sense for the country, whether in 15th century China or 21st century America. But we will know the answer to that question by the end of this month. And generations yet unborn may have to live with the consequences of that answer."
