Why do right-wingers love Thomas Sowell so much?


 
I suspect I know the answer to this question, or at least have some idea....but I want to let someone else offer their view here.

A better question is why do left wingers hate him so much?

1. Because he is an economist that buys into

the Hoover mentality, claims libertarianism and gives them a token minority.... jmho.

You call the man a token and we are the racists.  :whatever:

2. Same reason they love Clarence Thomas.

Same reason they loved Herman Cain.

Same reason they love Dr. Ben Carson.

They are African Americans who mouth conservative platitudes.

I will give you DUmmies a clue, it isn't their skin color that matters, it's their message that we are drawn to.
You are the ones who care what color their skin is.

4. Because he's black and spews...

their garbage. They can hold him up as an example of what black people 'should/could' be. Same with Thomas, Cain, and the few other nuters.

More projection, this DUmmy is actually claiming that we believe that all black people should think the same way, yet when faced with men like these the tiny brains in the DUmmies explode., because they are acting in a manner in which they think black folks should not.

5. Same reason they love Walter Williams.

He is another mindless Rush Limbaugh parrot.

Yet both men have much more wealth than you ever will have.
So tell me genius why is it that none of you have 2 nickles to rub together and people like Rush and Walter are very successful?

So the natural state of the black is liberalism?  Funny, there was two hundred years of thought that believed the black's natural state was slavery, subordination, and servitude.

Guess which party that was, asshole.

That party has evolved, they no longer think that only the black man's natural state is slavery, they believe that is the natural state of all men.

The list of black conservatives is getting longer and the democrat party is getting worried that it is going to keep growing.  Keep attacking black conservatives, DUmmies.  Please.

An Obamabot calling anyone mindless is ironic.  When the person it (the Obamabot) is referring to is as distinguished as Dr. Sowell or Dr. Williams, I doubt there is an appropriate word in the English language sufficient enough to describe the irony.

Because his theories are proved right over and over. OTOH, 0bama's economic policies demonstrate his complete lack of knowledge of what works.

We, well I am not about skin color or gender. I am about being correct with a theory or prediction. That is something that leftists hare completely lacking in.

Because you idiots can't understand something as simple as:

Quote
Suppose I knew an elderly lady who needed prescription drugs but didn't have enough money to buy them. So I walk up to one of you viewers and threaten, "Give me $100 or I'm going to do some kind of harm to you!" Having relieved you of your $100, I purchase that lady's prescriptions. Would you see me as a compassionate individual or just a plain common thief, regardless of what I did with your money? But don't answer yet.

Suppose before I relieved you of your money, I got a majority yea vote among me and ten other people that I should do so, would that help you decide whether I was committing an act of compassion or an act of theft? Suppose it was 100 people who agreed, a thousand, or 100 million people who agreed that I should take your money for the benefit of some other American, would that change anything? In other words, does a consensus or even legality determine whether a given act is right or wrong?

I know what you're thinking: If Congress doesn't take people's money, how in the world is that lady in need of prescriptions going to be helped? I say reaching into your own pocket to help another is compassionate and praiseworthy. Reaching into somebody else's pocket is theft and there's no two ways about it.

No, you don't.  Listen up, snookums:

Thomas Sowell has the rare ability to distill complex and highly abstract economic theory down to a level that, even rocks like yourselves could understand.  He backs everything with documented fact, historical context,  reason and (this is where we will lose you) mAtH!!!!!eLeVeNtY

He has the intellectual capacity to pound King Telewoobie McSandtrap the 1st into base elements, his range of knowledge is vast, he has the intellectual honesty to entertain counterpoint which, he generally rips like a woodchipper.

Oh, did I mention he is a brother Gyrene?

BTW, that's Dr. Thomas Sowell to you, scumbag.

Wrong, Cupcake.  Conservatives are in no position to mouth platitudes.  Conservatives have to prove every, article of speech be it participle, personal pronoun (unlike Emperor Personal Pronoun) or conjunction they utter.  You don't mouth platitudes when you destroy liberal nonsense.  That is what they do and very well, I might add.

I dearly hope so.  I'm not ready to agree with that, yet.  This last electoral fiasco was, quite frankly, a huge shock to me.  How can people be this stupid?  Sure, the (D)Ummies, but that swamp is like a leper colony.  I do hope you're right.

It's really sick that they can only view life through racist colored glasses! But then, people that don't fit into their neat little boxes scare and confuse them. They have to disparage them to feel good about themselves. Pathetic.

They assume we admire and support black people for the same reasons they do.  DUmmies and Libs "support" blacks so they look tolerant and not racist.
