Mr. Sowell,

While I agree 100% with your sentiments as stated, I have a pet peeve point of contention with ALL pundits, not you specifically, who merely state what Obama is doing to implement what he said 5 days before his inauguration, “… we are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

Transfroming America from what to what?
Dismantling capitalism brick by brick?
Maybe positiong himself and America to the left of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Fidel Castro of Cuba?

Remember the Chavez speech when he said that he, Chavez, and Castro had to watch out, or they would find themselves to the Right of Obama if he succeeded in implementing his transforming and redistributive agenda on America?

Before the muskets of the citizen militia are confiscated and dissent is restricted, when is the federal and state legislative and judicial call to arms going to be sounded by right thinking print and media pundits such as yourself and Walter Williams and Mark Levin and Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh et al.?

Isn't “…fundamentally transforming” America without “redistributive” constitutionsl authority a subversive act, a dereliction of duty to “protect and defend” the constitution?

Isn't that a subversive “high crime and misdemeanor” offense?

If “fundamentally transforming” America into a socialist state by taking advantage of a fabricated “crisis” without the amendment process isn't a “high crime” offense, then what is a “high crime” offense against the U.S. constitution?

Who in the public spot light is saying that Obama is acting beyond the constitutional 10th amendment negative rights restrictions and without “redistributive” authority, and who is ACTIVELY making a legislative and judicial concerted effort to STOP Obama in his “Lenin wanna be” commune(ist) agenda???

It's Bush's fault he couldn't reign in the CRA, which caused the housing bubble, over dp opposition? It wasn't the GOP insisting all was well at fannie and freddie to the end. Herb Moses and franklin raines weren't connected Republicans, and fixing the problem before it imploded wasn't shot down by the GOP. The GOP failing to stop the dp doesn't absolve the dp from doing it. You must be real upset that barney frank and the dp left all the elements in place to let it happen again.

Ken Lay's enron scam was developed and protected by dp corruption, and shut down by the Bush Administration (cap and trade is enron on a grand scale, btw). Same with Global Crossing. Regular folks lost their life savings so democrat party crooks like mccauliffe could skate with millions and say when asked about it, “That's capitalism.” yet somehow it's the GOP giving the free market a bad name. Funny how the democrats and their supporters are always in the middle of these dp enabled scams that the GOP gets blamed for.

You can't very well condemn madoff with out condemning social security, our biggest government ponzi scheme. Madoff didn't get a dime from me, and couldn't force me to give him anything. Not so with social security.

Since when has “american capitalism” (capitalism is a marxist term, btw) had any credibility with the democrat party? That's okay, I know it's government interference in the free market that causes most of the problems with it. That's always an excuse for more interference.

How did the Bush or Cheney get almost the entire dp to wage that “phony propaganda war,” while clinton was in the WH and Bush was in the Texas Governor's mansion? Cheney called the CIA amateur hour because the clinton administration ran most of the pros out of the CIA. Hussein never documented the destruction of his WMD stockpiles, one of his many violations of the GWCFA, which he never complied with. They never said saddam was behind or connected to 9/11. Tell us some more funnies.

We didn't torture anybody (not that I think they shouldn't have), and no, we didn't have another mass casualty attack on our soil while he was President, so yes he obviously did keep America safe. Please let me know when any of our enemies treat our soldiers in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, that hasn't happened since the Luftwaffe POW camps in WWII. There is no equivalence in the treatment they get and the treatment our service members get.

Katrina, where the democrat party governor, and democrat party mayor waited too late to evacuate and let FEMA in? I guess it is President Bush's fault he didn't take over from the incompetent democrat politicians before it was too late, but they would have just pitched a fit over that.

In October, 2009, the Obama administration co-sponsored a UN resolution with Muslim Egypt to ban speech that defames religion (Islam). A massive attack that threatens the freedom of every non-Muslim on earth.

Obama's first official phone call was to PLO Muslim terrorist leader, Abbas. Abbas, highly respected by past and present U.S. administrations, financed the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games. Obama's first interview was with Al-Arabiya, Muslim TV station.

G-D's eternal Biblical requirement for ALL humanity is KINDNESS: Jewish Bible, Micah 6:8. 'And what does the L-RD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your G-D.'

The rest of the post was on, but don't ever expect the dp to ever put unity or national security over obtaining or keeping their political control.

President Bush's tax cuts did in fact help the economy, and increased tax revenue. President Bush certainly did try to get congress to do something about fannie and freddie before they collapsed, but barney and co. knew better.

The exposure of the khan proliferation network, the exposure and elimination of khadaffy's NBC programs, and the elimination of saddam and his psychotic sons wasn't working away from ME 'peace.' President Bush certainly made us less vulnerable to terrorism, while the dp/msm certainly tried to make us more vulnerable.

Thanks for reminding us.

The widespread indulgence of Obama – and his adoring admirers who just “believe” in change – creates dangerous environment.The radical Islamists believe they are winning – and fully expect Obama to surrender.

I would also note, however, that most Americans are far more concerned with employment, housing, education, and medical issues than foreign policy. A solid majority of Americans voted for Obama – and some vague notion of change – to improve their economic and social situations. Therefore, it behooves harsh critiques of his foreign policy to acknowledge that most Americans seem indifferent to these global issues… until we are attacked again on American soil.
