      Nice try, Charlie. Would've liked to see more Thomas Sowell discussing his book rather than your attempt to "gotcha" him on the nonsense of diversity. But would REALLY like to see Mr. Sowell and other common sense thinkers such as Bill Cosby, Charles Krauthammer, Walter Williams, Victor Davis Hansen debate social engineers and central planning advocates such as Paul Krugmann, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and anyone on the Duke faculty that signed the open letter condemnation of the Duke Lacrosse players.

      Dr. Thomas Sowell – There’s a man with a well-grounded intellect.

      Dr. Sowell is arguably the greatest intellectual of this generation. Progressives and social liberals detest him because they know he has the facts, and that he does not pander to anyone. He is truly unclassifiable, rejecting labels like "conservative" or "libertarian." The American intelligentsia ought to show more respect to someone who understands that empiricism trumps emotionalism. Moreover, Sowell is too often characterized as a 'black' intellectual, rather than simply a factophilic intellectual.
