You know as well as I do that there is a liberal, incestuous, love affair going on between liberals in academia and the literary world. I remember when I was a lot younger reading book reviews and other forms of literature where a particular lib would be awarded the genius label...by other liberals. When I finally realized that practically everyone in the literary world was a leftist-lib, it all made sense. That's why an idiot like Cornel West who spouts gibberish at every occasion is called a genius, and Thomas Sowell is virtually unknown to most Americans.
You’re welcome!
I miss William F. Buckley.
I'm convinced Chomsky's "success" (if that's what we'll call it) is from the fact that he speaks in measured tones, is grammatically correct, and can cite history. Each of his sentences on their own sound plausible. In sum - he learned early on to speak, and look like, an "academic."
His logic is absolutely convoluted though. Everything rests on completely unprovable leftist assumptions and the typical leftist cliches. In sum, his Leftism is his RELIGION.
You make an important point IMHO.
While individuals like Gandhi may have made historic achievements in their lives, it is important to keep in mind the fact that such accomplishments do not necessarily qualify them as infallible demi-gods whose every word on any subject must be taken as gospel wisdom.
I agree. Thanks for your comments!
