"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Important point: does Progressivism support a critical analysis of FDR, which may admit him a buffoon, or does it offer a two dimensional icon for public veneration? See: JFK.
The victors write not only the history, but the historiography. I think Progressives are as eager as anybody else to find historical models for their actions, but not in any genuinely objective, analytical sense. That's why their history is largely propaganda and their historiography a con game.
Historical references are fine, but they need to be made relevant to the generations of today. The Tom Hanks sellouts must be refuted in any way possible.
Yeah, but if you're historical, you don't matter.
ReplyDeleteNote the emphasis on the present tense in Progressivism.
W-e-l-l, that all depends...

ReplyDeleteIf someone like Tom Hanks believes the Pacific War was largely a product of western racism - then we have a problem alright.
ReplyDeleteBruce is right.
