It has become totally impossible to find a single thing good to say about the Democrat Party and the Republican Party, or any of their real and fantasy candidates for the 2008 presidential election. As we have said before, we need a new party, and, given the philosophical overlap of Democrats and Republicans, it would be a new SECOND political party.
Getting into the details of such a party, even into its name, is not really what this article concerns today. The real concern comes from being thunderstruck last Friday, 29 December 2006.
Dr. Walter E. Williams of George Mason University, Department of Economics, was the substitute host for Rush Limbaugh. So much horse sense, common sense, and downright logical rationality poured from this man that it hit us. This man should be the candidate of the new party. In fact, he should be President of the United States of America. He has matters foreign and domestic down pat, and down pat IN PRINCIPLES. He would preserve and protect the Constitution and the Rights of Man of Americans.
He would need a running mate. There is a brilliant and seasoned man who would bring great honor and prestige to the office of Vice President of the United States of America. He is Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institute at Stanford. Hew is wise, seasoned, and operates among the best of principles, all of which would serve our country well.
Williams and Sowell for '08!
Coincidentally, I was arguing with some nobodies, on another website, who where trying to say that I was not ready for Barak Hussein Obama for superficial reasons when I suggested that I’d readily vote for Thomas Sowell. I hadn’t thought about it before. Reflecting for a moment, I realized that he’s light-years above any actual elected official that might actually run.
Williams and Sowell! That image makes me want to cry when I think of who will actually run in the Republican primary. I like Tancredo – or what little I know of him – but let’s face it, Sowell (who I happen to know more about than Williams) has a depth of understanding and an ability to communicate that surpasses the pack. What law on earth prevents such men from running? It’s time we break that law!

Jason,
Ain't it the truth ("That image makes me want to cry when I think of who will actually run in the Republican primary".)
There's such a HUGE pool of incredibly good thinkers "out there" who could reverse the downward spiral (provided they had a reasonably rational Congress to support their efforts).
I suppose they will never run for office, though; almost by definition, politicians are control freaks - passing laws etc. is necessary, but they see this as a means of micromanaging the lives of others.
This kind of power-lusting is simply not in the nature of the Williamses and Sowells and so many others who devote their time to examining ways to free people to control their own lives, limited only by the respect for individual rights.
Sigh.
