Two Crises

Thomas Sowell sends out a barrage about the abundant imbecility of the Democratic Party politics. For the Democrats ideas are smoke and mirrors attempting the illusion of the common good. There is no common good in attempting to hand strap a sitting President executing a war against the enemy. There is no common good when the Party agenda is to diminish Christianity to exalt moral relativity. There is no common good in validating the murder of unborn human souls to provide birth control for promiscuous women and teenage girls. There is no common good to enslave black and Hispanic people to a welfare state when all Americans have a right to the economic freedom to better themselves in the American capitalistic system. This is the illusion perpetrated by idealess smoke and mirrors. (Hat tip to Know Thyself Blog )
