Why would I make the effort to read a rightwing idiot like Jonah Goldberg when I can read rightwing idiocy here all day? Are you saying that the rightwingers here are so inferior to an imbecile like Goldberg that you people aren't capable of articulating what he does?
Exactly! You asked why FDR was a proponent of national socialism. You asked for specifics with regard to his policies. You were given that information, detailed, comprehensive information to read and think about for yourself. You were also given further reading and a promise for more.
Response: you attack the man and move the goalpost, as if we weren't talking about
the well-established, objectively demonstrable history of the pre-WWII Progressive Era.
And so folks like PC and I verbally slap you silly-ass ignoramuses around. You don't read or think about anything that doesn't jell with the revisionism of cultural Marxism.
Take the blinders off, and stop pretending that you don't get the ramifications of this history.
Don't understand? I don't need Goldberg, you do. He didn't write his work for folks like me. He wrote it for folks like you, the historically illiterate hayseeds of cultural Marxism, the drones of popular culture. Hayek's work, beginning with the historical roots of fascism and communism from the Enlightenment, addresses this period of history and it's aftermath even more comprehensively. I've been reading and writing about America's Progressive Era, from Teddy Roosevelt to FDR, especially, for decades . . . years before Goldberg published his work.
Can't articulate? The helpful links at the bottom of my post in the above were provided that you might know the difference between the classical liberalism of this nation's founding and the neo-/post-liberalism of that Era. Those pieces are written by me.
I'm steeped in the theological and philosophical works of Western civilization, in the history of ideas and events from the classical era to the post-modern era, and in the formative history of the ancients.
Who the hell are you?
You have no idea how woefully ignorant and irrational you are.
Are you saying that you're a brainwashed, hear-no-evil cultist incapable of articulating an argument refuting the history of Hegel and Rousseau's sociopolitical legacy in Europe and America?
Let me help you: yes, that's what you're saying.
