The following

is written by Dr. Sowell, and I

quote:

"The current

Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration

to date of what President Barack Obama's America

looks like. It is an America where the lawless,

unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is

an America where those who have sacrificed nothing

pillage and destroy the lives of those who have

sacrificed greatly.
"It is an

America where history is rewritten to honor

dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America

where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and

murder are all promoted as acceptable means of

overturning the American civil

society.

"It is an

America where humans have been degraded to the level

of animals: defecating in public, having sex in

public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America

where the basic tenets of a civil society, including

faith, family, a free press and individual rights,

have been rejected. It is an America where our

founding documents have been shredded and, with

them, every person's guaranteed

liberties.

"It is an

America where, ultimately, great suffering will come

to the American people, but the rulers like Obama,

Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney

Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis

Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses

and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will

live in opulent splendor.

"It is the

America that Obama and the Democratic Party have

created with the willing assistance of the American

media, Hollywood , unions, universities, the

Communist Party of America , the Black Panthers and

numerous anti-American foreign entities. "Barack

Obama has brought more destruction upon this country

in four years than any other event in the history of

our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he

and his comrades are capable

of.

"The Occupy

Wall Street movement is just another step in their

plan for the annihilation of America . "Socialism,

in general, has a record of failure so blatant that

only an intellectual could ignore or evade

it.""

Regular readers of Dr. Sowell probably recognized that this letter / article was probably not written by him. It's doubtful that he writes letters to the editor of any newspaper. However, the author does make some good points regarding the direction of the country since Barack Hussein Obama took office.

Yup .... too bad his vision is so near-sighted as to only go back only three and a half years .....

Of course, those sucking a given flavor of Kool-aid are necessarily confined to only looking at what stains others have put on the living room carpet, lest they be confronted with having to acknowledge their own culpability in creating the need for the Rug Doctor to be called in .... :rolleyes:
