This is a very good article by Thomas Sowell. It expands on the points that Dennis Prager has made about Barack Obama's rhetoric. Sowell writes, "Barack Obama says that he wants to "heal" the country while at the same time promoting the idea that all sorts of people are victims for whom he will fight."

Excellent article, Alan.
Sowell is absolutely right. Change for its own sake is a risky thing. A lot of people have a lot of different ideas on what they would like to see changed.
As Sowell said: "Everybody is for change. They differ on the specifics. Uniting people behind the thoughtless mantra of "change" means asking for a blank check in exchange for rhetoric. That deal has been made many times in many places — and millions of people have lived to regret it."
I would change that to, or NOT lived to regret it. We have the terrible examples of the last century, of course, but I'm also thinking of the French Revolution.
