THOMAS SOWELL - MODERATION IS SURRENDER! How the RNC fails us (1993)

[@hyacinthlynch843]

"Moderation is alright...if it's not carried to extremes." The man is brilliant!

[@fasteddie4107]

This man is more relevant, prescient, and necessary now than ever before. Sowell is a voice of reason and hard hitting truth. Read and heed.

[@jacobblanton5179]

There have been many like him over the last 120 years, who seem like prophets simply because they were actually paying attention to reality. And like Sowell, they were all ignored. Despite knowing this, it is still stunning how explicitly what he says matches what is happening under Biden now. I thought I understood the maxim "nothing is new under the sun" but the sentiment still strikes me anyway...

[@cradthecrad7171]

These lost Sowell clips are worth more than their weight in gold. Thanks so much for getting them.

[@BasicEconomics]

Glad you like them! So glad you are here!

[@GenXGal]

Listening to this I realized 1) we’ve had the same issues for decades, 2) the level of conversion and intellect has deteriorated over the same time frame, and so 3) it’s not likely we will have solutions for those issues this decade either. Time for more wine 🍷

[@AgreeableJack]

Agreed! It’s depressing to see…. Something else I think that’s a double edged sword that will prolong this change we won’t ever see for decades to come, is urgency, instant gratification. Yes it’s important to move quickly and educate people but there’s truth in the saying “speed skills”. It seems we don’t have any patience to wait for the long term outcomes of anything we try. So everything seems to be a quick fix and it’s scary! Yes more adult beverages!! Haha! 🥂

@30:45. This is the one thing that I really liked about Donald Trump. He flat out told the Dems that they were lying and dishonest/stupid. It wasn't political rhetoric which is why so many thought it was crass and bad but it's what got him the love of 74million americans who had enough of words and wanted to see action/reality return.

[@charlesray4084]

I agree yet he lost too focus on alienating regana has vision but try to not divisive and alienating!

@chivomartinez poor take

[@mikegray8776]

I love these recordings - not only for the obvious and effortless wisdom of Thomas Sowell, but for the dry irony with which he delivers it. Wonderful to listen to someone who can be instructive, accessible and entertaining, all at the same time.

[@HeavyK.]

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. He's a living legend.

[@brucehutchinson9527]

this lecture was 1993 it applies directly now the end of 2021. I believe I see Dinesh D'Souza in the back right, Speakers Corner of the lecture hall? As Thomas Sowell comments about political promises being bunk, Donald Trump called bunk bunk and they hate him for it- both Democrats, Never-Trumper's & Rhino Republicans.

[@BasicEconomics]

Yes that was him!

“I will remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And I will remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” - Barry Goldwater

[@BasicEconomics]

I should do a video on Goldwater... he was a really interesting guy

[@TrueChoiceServices]

Love your channel. Tom Sowell needs to live forever! It's wonderful to know that someone is carrying on his legacy.

[@DesertDog8989]

Just what I needed. Got to keep my mind turning with new information, old information, and trying to make connections.

"What being said now and particularly, it's being promoted as new. Everything is new if you don't know History" - Thomas Sowell, 1993

[@Benemortasia666]

Thank you for uploading.

[@tropics8407]

More important now than ever….bizarre that we are further along in this destructive path than ever. Thank you Dr. Sowell. If not for you where would we actually be ? 🙏

[@bluefishactcl1464]

Thank you Very instructive. Great Thomas hitting out of the park

[@mcarlkv53]

one thing about Mr. Sowell, is that any question thrown at him, he can answer that question with honesty, clarity, and authority, because he has wisdom, critical thinking, and discernment....

[@samuelmatz]

Did these political figures hear and learn anything from Thomas Sowell ? I think history would say, few learned. I agree the newspaper man showed disrespect. Golden opportunity Dr Sowell provided . How many takers ? Few, Sad.

[@joelchariton6414]

Great video he is the goat. We need to go back to basics of economics and truth love is point about hidden spending from the people who are paying the taxes

[@jasonjohnson6344]

Bummer about the ending, that guy from Georgia was great fun. TS’s response was much anticipated by all I’m sure. 👍👍✌️

[@MargieGarridoPinto]

Love always to hear to Thomas Sowell

[@fliegeroh]

Wow Hillaty was saying parents should lhave less power over what their children learn even back then 30 years ago.

[@BasicEconomics]

All the most outlandish ideals of today, will become policy tomorrow, if we don't reverse this march into abject chaos

[@JusticeAll-zw2mt]

Timeless wisdom!!!

[@viimaurice3131]

Such a wise deduction of the ruiners of our country! Thanks Sowell!

[@BasicEconomics]

Couldn't agree more!

[@gerrilanter1965]

👏 wonderful! Love Thomas Sowell !!

[@williamthesling1201]

You gotta love Thomas Sowell!

[@BeardyDay]

Moderation is alright , if it doesn’t go to the extreme. Hahahaha

[@leonardticsay8046]

It almost sounds like something Mark Twain or GK Chesterton would say.

[@thehomer5913]

Is that D'Souza at 13:31?

[@BasicEconomics]

Yes it is!

[@newfangledsoftware6185]

He really is brilliant. Interesting to see how we can now see in hindsight the result of the poor government decision making.

[@diabang4440]

The best

[@brucehutchinson9527]

This is so old that they don't have the format that brings a microphone to each questioner so we can hear the question.

[@dosomething3]

41:02 “ethnic diversity [breads violence]… look at the balkens - that’s ethnic diversity” - that’s correlation. the animosity and violence might be caused by other factors.

[@ColinWilsonOnline]

Bad misquote. That's not what Thomas said. He said multicultural diversity not ethnic diversity. There is a gorge of difference between the two.

[@BeardyDay]

Sorrr sir fell asleep before you went live! Leather jacket next time!

[@BasicEconomics]

Ha!

[@willy4018]

Too many ads

[@BasicEconomics]

Yeah... I'll work on that for the next one... fine balance between keeping the channel going and reducing visual ad space.

[@saltburner2]

Love your videos, but for God's sake kill that boom-box in the background.

[@BasicEconomics]

noted, thank you for the feedback

[@LOL-ev8ft]

song ?

[@BasicEconomics]

?

[@christophercooper]

10:34 one of the few times we can say Thomas Sowell was wrong.

[@BasicEconomics]

#metoo

[@larrybrock6811]

A shame that this amazing speech is overshadowed by this annoying and creepy cryto-currency ad

[@BasicEconomics]

most people watch on their phone... but I''ll make the text smaller next time

[@fretnottrustingod5053]

Who's the jerk focusing on the newspaper he holdsup & disrespecting Thomas Sowell?

[@franciscoherrera1219]

Moderates are liberals without the balls to call themselves liberal. OK, I'm not as eloquent as Mr. Sowell.

[@tomhitchcock8195]

So much wisdom here I can’t stand it

[@kimobrien.]

Lets not forget the 2.3 trillion spent on Afghanistan voted for and carried out by both parties.

[@larrybrock6811]

Whats with the guy with the creepy filter?

[@BasicEconomics]

Me... gives me a layer of privacy
