Have you ever been to NYC? Miami? Cajun country? Chicago? LA? There's a whole different world out there that IS America you apparently know nothing about.

Back in my teaching days, many years ago, one of the things I liked to ask the class to consider was this: Imagine a government agency with only two tasks: (1) building statues of Benedict Arnold and (2) providing life-saving medications to children. If this agency's budget were cut, what would it do?
The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.---Thomas Sowell

. . . and that's the guy, the logic, you rest your case on and have for years? Incredible.
Sowell is of sound logic and mind.
Brilliant, and principled.
One of the best conservative minds this country has ever produced.

Agree. Such well known issues, oft ignored by the self proclaimed intellectuals.
Coocoo.

That's good you know, shows at least a modicum of intelligence to admit you don't know everything . . . don't let your playmates know . . . they do know everything.
I have been at family gatherings (not always my family) where the most common language spoken was Spanish, Tagalog, French, Italian, Icelandic, or Thai - without leaving America. My current Facebook page has samplings of all those languages. My mother had for a time the German Bible brought to this country by her grandfather (she eventually gave it to her older brother).
Thank you for keeping it to just two long boring sentences this time

Let's start with your IQ. That way we will know how low the bar is.
