Thomas Sowell and Charles Krauthammer are the two greatest thinkers writing on contemporary affairs in America today. If only Sowell had become the first black president, what a different world it would be!
Krauthammer recently wrote on Obama's deliberate plan to lead America into decline so it would be just another country to be neither envied or feared. That Americans would suffer economically and perhaps physically (as a result of emboldened attackers) doesn't seem to concern him at all.
Now Dr. Sowell adds his analysis of the harm Obama is doing to America.

Dismantling America
By Thomas SowellJust one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?
Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?
Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?
Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?
Does any of this sound like America?
