Bad As It Gets
Accuracy in Academia ^ | March 19, 2013 | Malcolm A. Kline

Author M. Stanton Evans got an early lesson in his law of inadequate paranoia: “No matter how bad you think things are, when you look into them you find that they are a lot worse.”

Evans followed future editor (at National Review) William F. Buckley, Jr., into Yale. “I read God and Man at Yale, which was being attacked on campus, and said, ‘This is exactly how it is,’” Evans remembered in a panel discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

In a segment sponsored by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), Evans regaled the audience at CPAC with remarks on what it was like to be a young conservative in the 1950s. “We had three problems,” he recalled. “There was the intellectual problem on campus which was bad but not as much as it is now.” Evans has spoken at many Accuracy in Academia events.

“We also had the problem of communists infiltrating the government that the Democrats seemed incapable of resisting,” Evans averred, “and the Republicans seemed incapable of resisting the Democrats.” Evans is the co-author of Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government.

Evans also set the historical record straight when a young man in the audience asked whether Goldwater Republicans made inroads in the South by appealing to racism there. Evans said, “You know what we call racists in the South? Democrats.”

He noted that such liberal stalwarts as J. William Fulbright of Arkansas cast votes against just about every civil rights bill that came up in the Senate.
