Kingmi,
Why visit past evil, we have enough evidence today and in present time to indict a lot of skilled practitioners of "hide my evil" in good intention for crimes against humanity!

Corbin Dallas,
It is so easy to proclaim yourself innocent of motive when you have people not in the runing to provide alibi! I have no clue who this Sewell guy is but the absence of George Bush on his list makes me suspect! Is "demagogue fascist" a fitting phrase?

Re: CD, thank you for your insight. i always enjoy Sowell.
GW has been on a trip to Africa to announce even more aid to the region....he has done more for the sub-continent than any other President.......as to the Global meaning of hope, I'm sorry, I just more interested in the sovereignty the good ol' USA.....
It won't be long before the Obamies will be playing the race card......White America, the GOP, Conservatives will be the target of their accusations and innuendos........
I'm already being called a racist here.....never mind that I would love to be able to vote for Condi Rice, Michael Steele, or J. C Watts.....any of which would be a better President than Obama....

CD, thank you for your insight. i always enjoy Sowell.
But the context of change espoused by Barack irrupts from the true global meaning of hope: that is presenting oneself to the powers and refusing to be denied, ignored, or left in squalor one more day. That seems to be uncomfortable to white America, to the GOP, and to the established powers because we are the ones who have denied and ignored.
But you are right to call attention to the need for vigilance against demagoguery. The French Revolution began this way, a Euro-trend that didn't stop until the fall of the Berlin Wall in the 20th Century. We could face a similar uprising one day if we do not recognize Barack for what he really is. Not a demagogue peddling false hope, but an opportunity to put things right in America again.
