Dr. Sowell is undeniably the wisest man in America. Therefore I pledge my support should he decide to stand for the office of President of these United States of America.
"The President is merely the most important among a large number
of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to
the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct,
his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and
disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is
absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the
truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary
to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does
right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and
servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the
President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or
wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should
be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important
to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about
any one else."

"George W Bush is LBJ with a human face." This is my tagline as I have been saying it for years now. I never liked LBJ and only tolerate the Bush family. But I'm not trying to stick it to anybody, I just repudiate Federal activism and the notion that "nation building" is a valid concept. That's why I'm voting for Ron Paul in the Arizona Republican Primary. I have met Paul several times since the 1980's and voted for him in 1988 when he was the Libertarian Party nominee.
