Dismantling our Nation

Thomas Sowell has another brilliant column over at Townhall this morning, titled "Dismantling America." As sobering a read as it is, I feel better...I look at the landscape in Washington DC and keep wondering if it's just me that's on crazy pills. No, plenty of others are seeing the same thing and Sowell is always out in front:

Jeremiah Wright said it with words: "God damn America!" Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.

Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children.

Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?

Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government-- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world.

If you have been in a cave these past ten months, read this article, it is a great summary of where we have come to. It takes a while to turn an aircraft carrier around, but they turn quicker at full speed. We are heading at flank speed to the left - let's hope after this set of elections coming up next week that we at least get the rudder to amidships...after 2010, let us hope we can steer this ship of state back to the Constitution.
