Thomas Sowell
A disciplined and unexciteable controversialist, he rose closest to exhibiting passion when discussing, for instance, the destruction of the black family by the Great Society of Lyndon Baines Johnson — how it arrested the social and economic advancement blacks had been making by their own efforts to overcome the monstrous history of slavery. By its “helping hand” the government rewarded unwed motherhood, punished enterprise, and promoted crime. In addition to family, it undermined religion, and finally helped instal the abortion mills which disproportionally reduce the black population. And all of this by legislation drumrolled from the start with pseudo-Christian moral posturing. : Essays in Idleness

(North Eastern Liberal) Republicans pushed the 24th amendment (No requirement to pay taxes in order to vote) in the hopes of getting 10 million additional votes for their party. Lyndon Johnson saw what was happening and snatched all those votes from away from the Republicans.
It was brilliant politically, but horribly destructive to both blacks and the nation.

I'll miss him.
