Thomas Sowell is a serious man who says serious things. We should pay attention when he speaks because well learn something if we do. On President Obama and the Ebola crisis, he observes: (He) takes his conception of himself as a citizen of the world more seriously than he takes his role as president of the United States. At worst, he may consider Americans’ interests expendable in the grand scheme of things internationally. If so, this would explain a lot of his foreign policy disasters around the world, which seem inexplicable otherwise. Has the clear ring of truth, doesnt it? Calling the president a vain and headstrong man, Dr. Sowell sees the real damage caused by him: The erosion of constitutional government over the years has become, under the Obama administration, a deluge of arbitrary edicts and defiant lawlessness protected by a grossly politicized Department of Justice. While there are many in the country who saw this coming, there are many still who welcome it because they, like Obama, see themselves as morally, intellectually, socially, politically and ethically superior to those of us among the great unwashed. Its his and their divine right to rule over us, and we should humbly and gratefully accept and appreciate their condescending patronage and plantation-like superiority. What did the American voters know about the prudence and uprightness of this untried man they elected president, as a result of his glib rhetoric and his racial symbolism? It is not just bad luck when a reckless gamble turns out disastrously.
