This topic could have as easily gone under MONEY and POLITICS, as it is important for all of us. When someone sees the light and turns from Liberalism, Progressivism, or any other tyrannical way of thinking, it is a milestone and should be made mention of.
David Mamet, author, playright and movie mogul (GlenGary Glenross, Wag the Dog, etc.), was a dyed in the wool Liberal. He was raised by Jewish parents in New York. He never even talked to a conservative until he was sixty years old. Over the years that followed, after reading F.A. Hayak(Road to Serfdom), Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, he gradually became aware of the decaying of America caused by Liberals. He has now written a book, THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have liberal friends. To me, liberalism is a intellectual cul-de-sac. His insights are powerful. In the next several blogs, I'll share some of his quotes. He has been interviewed in numerous places, and he definitely has a message for America.
Some of his thoughts:
"It is not the absence of government but the rejection of culture which leads to anarchy."
"That all human beings possess both a conscience and that free will necessary to allow them to either reject its dictates or to formulate them into habit." He goes on to say: "Man is accountable."
Rush LImbaugh interviewed David Mamet in the July edition of his newsletter.

I love Thomas Sowell. I suggest you read everything you can read by him. He has commentaries in Investor's Business Daily, about 2 or 3 times a week.
