Sowell’s voice pierces the haze of national doubt better than anything else i know. With an increasing number of Americans viewing shame as a form of virtue and strength as a sin, Sowell reminds us all that we have a reason to remain proud of our country — we are the world’s last stronghold of ordered liberty. \
The fire he lights is not nostalgia; it is an attack on those who would exchange American exceptionalism for apologies around the world and cultural cleansing.
Weakening the national backbone – Institutions which were created to protect the republic now compete for who can admit the most original sin.
Schools, corporations and media outlets deliver the same message: America was never great, the original foundation of this nation had its flaws and you should feel guilty for being proud of your heritage.
This is not progress. This is a deliberate attempt to undermine what made it possible for tens of thousands of individuals to leave poverty behind and become wealthy on their own terms without having to obtain a permission slip from bureaucrats.
For decades Sowell has chronicled how abstract ideas (ideas disconnected from evidence) generate predictably disastrous results. At a time when we are experiencing extreme levels of pride-shaming, Sowell provides critical timing with his latest blog.
