Thomas Sowell -- Dismantling America

Thomas Sowell has studied and taught economics, intellectual history, and social policy at institutions that include Cornell University, UCLA, and Amherst College. Now a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Sowell has published more than a dozen books, the latest of which is Dismantling America.

In introducing his new book, Sowell asserts that the Obama administration "is the embodiment, the personification, and the culmination of dangerous trends that began decades ago," trends that are "dismantling America." Sowell sees this in the dismantling of marriage, of culture, and of self-government.

The Obama administration benefits from the chaos and destruction by turning more saps and suckers towards suckling on the governmental teat.

Peter Robinson is such a great interviewer. Kieth Olbermann should watch and take notes.

It's a damn shame Sowell wasn't the first black president. He's about 100 times smarter than Obama and he's not a socialist.

Just had the thought of a world where Bin Laden was alive and Iran had nuclear weapons. Pretty scary

The engines towards gay marriage are: victimization through AIDS (making it "mean" to deny marriage--or anything else--to them), entertaining images of gay through popular culture ("Will & Grace," "Birdcage," "The L-Word," "Queer As Folk," etc.), the decline of religious faith because of (...fill in the blank), feminism that questioned the female in marriage, the infantilization & feminization of males, the spread of birth control which eliminates the inevitability of children in marriage, etc.

@rilmatz1 How is anything being imposed upon gays by the state observing the definition of marriage that has always existed.

[rilmatz1]

@jamo387 "push their lifestyle and morality on the majority"? The opposite is true. If homosexuals can marry, what effect does this have on your life? What is imposing upon you when same-sex couples can get married? Would the mere idea that such unions existed legally be a burden on your mind? If that's true then grow up. Your line of argument is is at best demagoguery, at worst bigotry, and is (I think) motivated by insecurity.
