With all that has happened lately I forgot to post a shout out for a man with a great mind that sadly passed away on December 2nd. If someone else has already done this I apologize but Mr. Williams passing was very sad news for me. He was a brilliant man with insights that will be lost as the people of his generation pass away. Its something this country cannot afford especially now. I wish him a peaceful eternal rest. He has earned it.

Its sad that no JPP leftists know who this is but it's not a surprise.
 
Yes indeed. I know who Walter Williams is. I always enjoyed hearing him speak and yes, I was sad at the news of his passing. RIP Walter Williams.

A great man with immense intelligence. He will truly be missed but is now with the love of his life. God Bless and be with peace Walter. You will be remembered.
 
The Founders knew that a democracy would lead to some kind of tyranny. The term democracy appears in none of our Founding documents. Their vision for us was a Republic and limited government.
 
Three-fifths to two-thirds of the federal budget consists of taking property from one American and giving it to another. Were a private person to do the same thing, we'd call it theft. When government does it, we euphemistically call it income redistribution, but that's exactly what thieves do - redistribute income. Income redistribution not only betrays the founders' vision, it's a sin in the eyes of God.
 
For 50 years, the well-meaning leftist agenda has been able to do to blacks what Jim Crow and harsh discrimination could never have done: family breakdown, illegitimacy and low academic achievement.
 
I prefer a thief to a Congressman. A thief will take your money and be on his way, but a Congressman will stand there and bore you with the reasons why he took it.
 
When the history of the 20th century is finally written, one of its key features will be the wanton slaughter of more than 170 million people, not in war, but by their own government. The governments that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of the reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the people were first disarmed.
 
Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place.
 
Government is about coercion. Limiting government is the single most important instrument for guaranteeing liberty. We're working on a third generation which has little in the way of education about what our Constitution means and why it was written. Thus, we've fallen easy prey to charlatens, quacks, and hustlers.
 
Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual.
 
Despite the miracles of capitalism, it doesn't do well in popularity polls. One of the reasons is that capitalism is always evaluated against the non-existent, non-realizable utopias of socialism or communism. Any earthly system, when compared to a Utopia, will pale in comparison. But for the ordinary person, capitalism, with all of its warts, is superior to any system yet devised to deal with our everyday needs and desires.
 
More important than anything else is for Americans to wise up to class warfare demagoguery and reject the politics of envy.
