As smart as I find VDH to be, this statement is a bit jolting. Who is he REALLY talking about here? Pat Buchanan? Who in their right (or left) mind thinks there was anything wrong with the Anglo-American effort in WWII? There were some aspects of its execution that could have been done better, but overall it went about as well as could be expected, and was vitally important to beat Nazi Germany.
Anyone who disputes that really is on the fringes, and I'm not sure there's an easy label to put on them.
The really odd thing is that while America is beginning to quietly chuckle at the Obama poses and rhetoric flourishes, Obama is still as convinced as ever of his "divinity"...and that is cause for even more worry about his sanity.
Certainly, most of those of us on the right have always laughed about Obama's narcissism but there has been little discussion of what will be the upshot of that malignancy.
Eventually, Obama will either unravel...or dig in his heels (in an effort to continue the charade regarding his divinity). Either way, I suspect we are in for real trouble.
Just wanted to repeat that for emphasis. It seems to be something that is controversal these days.
Well he is full of it about LGF. The guy is as marxist as Bozo.
University administrators worship private money, and then among themselves scoff at the capitalism that created it. Campus elites, looking at a benefactor, are fascinated how someone — no brighter than they are — made so much money, even as they are repelled by a system that allows those other than themselves to have pulled it off. No wonder that Obama seems enchanted by a Warren Buffett, even as he trashes the very landscape that created Berkshire Hathaway’s riches. No president has raised more money from Wall Street or has given it more protection from accountability — while at the same time demagoguing it as selfish and greedy.
Its good that VDH has pledged himself to anti-racism and intermarriage and all the good stuff, but he needs to put down the spliff and put his mind into logically interpetting what exactly is meant by “anti-racism”, and what the good liberal friends of his mean by it.

Now that one's gonna leave a mark. As I have stated repeatedly, Bush's problem wasn't that he acted unilaterally, it was that he attempted to bring the UN in and didn't jump when they backtracked on their earlier resolutions. Their hatred wasn't for a cowboy, it was for an apostate.
This is one of those random-notes columns that doesn't really have a central theme, but it seems clear to me that VDH is still a little too fond of the MSM's take on the hysteria and unreason present in those who oppose 0bama's programs. Taking Pat Buchanan seriously as a historian is a waste of time, and proposing that his is any sort of mainstream thought on the antecedents to the Second World War is simply a dry hole. It isn't really even useful as a straw man.
As for Charles Johnson, I prefer to let that gentleman speak for himself. What has happened to him is at least partly a function of him taking the same sorts of things seriously that VDH appears to. The radical fringe on the Right is far, far more marginalized and irrelevant than that same fringe on the Left. There isn't an equivalency, there isn't even anything close to one.
