An awesome, awesome man and an awesome article.

Thomas Sowell is a person of whom I would love to spend an evening with over dinner just picking his brain. It was the writings of Sowell's mentor Milton Friedman that got me to rethinking my then Socialistic/ Communistic points of view along with the fact that my love of history led me to the writings of early Nazi's and Fascists like Mussolini that showed me the Fascists were nothing more than Nationalistic Communists. How can one (Fascism) be condemned while the other (Socialism/ Communism) has been responsible for more deaths than Nazi/Fascism? Both are the epitome of evil, both rely on sheep, fear and threat of death. The Ukrainian genocide was as horrible as the Jewish extermination. Throw in Bergen where American soldiers underwent the same treatment as the Jews also. Oh, you label one as Right Wing Extremism and while in the same breath deny the holocaust/ genocide caused by that very same ideaology. Does that make any sense? Not to me either. How about totally excluding the other group and their atrocities? How about the people surrounding our sitting President espousing the writings of Mao and Mother Teresa? How about claiming Jesus was a Socialist, ignoring the Parable of the Talents completely? All are Tyranny. Boy does Thomas Sowell hit that nail on the head.
