The following are Polical thoughts of Thomas Sowell of Creators Syndicate:

In politics, there are few skills more richly rewarded than the ability to mistate issues in a way that will sound plausible and attractive.

"Nations are like men in that prefer a fuss made in their behalf to real services rendered." Although Alexis de Tocqueville said this back in the 19th century, it may help explain why the Black vote today is so overwhelmingly for the Democrats, when Democrats have done so little good for Blacks and so much harm.

If the Democrats' presidential and vice presidential candidates next year are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obamaa, most of the mainstream media will just gush at the image and the rhetoric of a woman and a minority - and specific issues and track records will fade into the background.
