Do You Want to Solve Problems or Protest About Them? — Part 3
In John Wayne: The Life and Legend, the author relays a story about The Duke growing up as Marion Robert Morrison — and how every day he rode eight miles to elementary school on a horse named Jenny. No matter how much he fed his horse, Jenny was still too thin. Some ladies in town took…
Do You Want to Solve Problems or Protest About Them? — Part 2
From the get-go Almost every post points to an identifiable disconnect — enough to know that something’s not right with people you put on a pedestal. You could skip the post and go straight to the doc — and watch one at a time for 7 days, 7 weeks or 7 months. You could watch…
Do You Want to Solve Problems or Protest About Them?
When it comes to ascertaining the truth — I don’t care what your cause is, who’s in the White House, who controls Congress or the courts. I learned early on in life that what you want gets in the way of what you see. There is no amount of gain you could give me to…
Thomas Sowell & His Disciples: Bullshitters by Definition
Bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. — Blurb to On Bullshit by Harry G. Frankfurt You couldn’t carry Sowell’s jockstrap! Thomas Sowell is considered our country’s…
Thomas Sowell’s “Said So and So”: The Height of Conservative Argument on Iraq WMD
When protecting your interests, most of America’s into the newfangled ways of “argument” — where you furiously fire off some fashionable form of “You’re wrong!” and dish it all day long: Insisting on “affirmation independent of all findings” (borrowing from Peck who borrowed from Buber). I never got on board. You’re wrong — and here’s why:…
Faith-Based Intelligence
Everybody believed Iraq had WMD Those tortured talking points need to be put out of their misery — and I know of no one better for that than Greg Thielmann. I emailed him to ask how he would respond to Whittle’s common claim, and one of the most telling aspects to his answer was the technicality…
Thomas Sowell: The Grand Marshal of this Lockstep Lovefest — and the Admiral of the Scot-Free Fleet
His army of apologists are gutless in the face of facts they don’t like — disguised by their goose-stepping glory in the Facts Over Feelings Parade. He’s the Grand Marshal of this lockstep lovefest — and the Admiral of the Scot-Free fleet. I’m not out to “DESTROY” — but you are By butchering Sowell’s bedrock beliefs in blind defense of him. In…
Anti-Racism has Become Religion — But Fighting that Religion has Become Another Religion
How McWhorter keyed in on anti-racism being religion blew my mind — which is why I showcased it in I Don’t Do Slogans — a piece Loury called “brilliant” and was “honored by.” It’s a mighty fine day when you wake up to find such high praise from a man of his caliber. I first…
Meaningless Majority: How the CIA Rigged the NIE Vote to Take Us to War in Iraq
Which images below look related to nuclear weapons? Contrast Thomas Sowell’s loose language of “various nations‘ intelligence agencies” (and anything he said on the subject) — with the specificity of mine . . . Mr. Sowell: Could you tell me why the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) — got an equal say on the aluminum tubes for the…
Why Examine the Holes in Sowell’s History When You Can Criticize the Holes in My Jeans?
Glenn Loury once called my writing “brilliant” and was “blown away” by this site and signed up. If you’re a fan, I’d think that would carry a little weight — at least enough to wonder what he read. Maybe you don’t like my style, but maybe he sees something you don’t . . . And…
