Thomas Sowell is an intellectual, but he is not leading a book burning, he is calling for the end of tyranny of the few intellectuals over the individual. The individual which is intimately acquainted with their own needs and own trade or profession will be a far better ruler of self than a bureaucrat miles away. This was the mentality of the Revolutionary War. Thomas Sowell is not anti learning, he is against a few people plotting out the economic and cultural futures of the many. Essentially, the Republican Democracy outlined by our constitution has been dismembered by pols and faux intellectuals that have prescribed big government bureaocracies to either the common cold or to made up ailments, the result being an undeniable disease of statism that has seriously thrown us into dept and is responsible for the "need" for a $700billion bailout package and other "change." So enough with the immature paraphrasing and caricatures, or mocking Sowell for engaging in intelligent discourse through an anti statist publication, it makes you all look like complete fools. Sowell has been and will continue to be one of the great fathers of modern conservatism, the most successful (in terms of real positive policy making) in the last century. God bless him!

That's right, he's a "Distinguished Fellow," whatever that means. Apparently, Hoover doesn't have enough lying, scumbag neocons in their midst w/o adding the Jewish Prince of Darkness. He'll undoubtedly be teaching a course on those lying, murdering, conniving Muslims and how they want to overthrow our Republic & replace it with Shaaria law. What a shame Danny won't be Minister of Peace and Religious Tolerance in a McCain administration. I almost voted for him in order to make this possible.
