YOU DON'T THINK OBAMA

is a radical?  Is this radical enough for you?  The central aim of every radical tract is the undermining of established universal principles and law in favor of temporary ad hoc expediencies and arbitrary feelings of "social justice".  You can find the plea for expediency and against principles in the name of "social justice" in any radical you want to name -- and likewise you can find the case against this sort of radicalism in every conservative thinker you can name, from Friedrich Hayek and Thomas Sowell to Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, and David Hume.  Obama is on the side of a long list of radicals and against Smith, Sowell, Hume, Burke and Hayek.
