Recently posted by Dennis Prager: Wherever Karl Marx’s ideas were practiced, life got worse–not by a little, but by a lot. There is not a single exception to this rule.
Thomas Sowell agrees: Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it. [It’s why I always put the word “intellectual” in quotation marks.]
Sowell once again: Ours may become the first civilization destroyed not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. [i.e., nonsense that simply ignores the lessons of History.]
And finally Larry Elder, whimsically on Facebook: For anyone who doesn’t believe anybody can succeed in America, two words: Stephen Colbert.
Would Colbert have a talk show if he were a “conservative,” or is he but one of hundreds of media banalities who owe their careers to a culture that favors sentimental drivel over moral/intellectual clarity?
