The Vision of the Anointed
A much-revered book in my library is Dr. Thomas Sowell's The Vision of the Anointed. It explains so much of what goes on in politics and the media today.
Dr. Sowell also publishes a column that appears in Townhall.com. In his Dec. 6th column (Random Thoughts) is further proof, if any were needed, of his insight.
Ah, remember the Star Tribune's lambasting of Senator Norm Coleman's call for Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, to resign. It was all name calling. "What an embarrassment!" they concluded.
Only now the Democratic Leadership Council has seconded Mr. Coleman's motion, for the good of the U.N. they say. What names will the Star Tribune come up with this time? And will they have the courage to hurl them at one of their own?

It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.
