True American Hero – Thomas Sowell
I hadn’t “given” this award for a while. There are probably a lot of folks who are deserving, but when I decide to do this I really have to feel it and there is generally some action that prompts me to act. In the case of Mr. Sowell it was his retirement. I looked back at how many times I’ve either read/reviewed on of his books, or used a quote of his, or embedded a YouTube video with Mr. Sowell making a great point.
Breitbart and others posted articles featuring what they consider his greatest quotes and I would prefer to let Mr. Sowell’s words prove my case that he is a True American Hero:
You gotta love a liberal who resists following the rules they decry for everybody else. Liberal California passed a minimum wage law that requires businesses to raise the minimum wage to $10.50 starting January 1, 2017. You may be surprised to learn that big leftist and former president of the Screen Actor’s Guild, Ed Assner (yes I know that it’s misspelled) did not support minimum wage…for theatre companies. In fact, Mr. Assner filed a lawsuit seeking relief from the new minimum wage law for his industry.
are Sein Fein and other Irish Republican Army offshoots. When Stone is ordered to follow some actors to the United States he finds himself in the middle of a very, very dangerous situation and cut off from his support agency and having to care for another which hampers his ability to figure out how to fix his problem and live!
by authors Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson introduces us to the group of American heroes tasked with taking direct action against United States’ enemies. These are not a bunch of soldiers bound by “rules of engagement” limiting their ability to carry out their missions. We meet Jack Kemper, one of the Tier One leaders. His world is turned upside-down when tragedy strikes his life and he is determined to make the enemy pay.
 we meet a young married couple at their rehearsal dinner. We also meet their unhappy sister of the bride, her husband who cannot keep a job, a strange older lady dressed oddly, a mother who cares only about appearances, a workaholic father…I could go on, but you’ll just have to read the book. This is a rather light-hearted look at a young couple as they try to face a future together with lots of folks pulling them in different directions.
Brinkman finds herself being an advocate for a young woman after someone brutally murdered her entire family. It doesn’t take long for her to end up defending a her.
