5 Feet of Fury

Thomas Sowell describes modern liberalism in one paragraph

It’s a fashion statement, not a sound, coherent philosophy:

Perhaps the best way to try to understand these reactions [to Sarah Palin] is to recall what Eleanor Roosevelt said when she first saw Whittaker Chambers, who had accused Alger Hiss of being a spy for the Soviet Union. Upon seeing the slouching, overweight and disheveled Chambers, she said, “He’s not one of us.” 

Hey, even a “racist white supremacist” like me thinks Sowell is a genius! Seriously, when he dies we are so ****ed — he is the smartest man in America.
