Topic: "Will Kennedy retire Monday?"

Booker will unify the Dems and win WI and VA and Kamela Harris will defer to him.

I'd like to ask for this thread to be locked and new one, named for someone far more deserving, created. It was nice, but time to move on.

Dear Mr Allah,

I am writing to inform you that upon examining your religion, I have sadly concluded that many facets remain unworkable to fit around my personal life. Please gracefully accept these humble suggestions to change the religion a bit:

1) update the hajj calander so that one can fix a festival schedule around it. Plus, have you considered a tie-in with Ingress? Think about it.

2) please clarify that under the rules of hijab, women are not obligated to cover - nay, encouraged to reveal - their feet? (I agree that it must be haram for men to cover their feet)

3) why were the Catholics allowed to stay in Iberia?

Yours sincerely
BRTD

Tough call. He's a conservative so absolutely but he's also a colourful people which means definitionally it is impossible for him to be racist because he lacks the mystical privilege power required to transmute racial discrimination into racism. So im going to say no, but with the added caveat that its ok to call him racial slurs like "uncle tom" because he forfeited his blackness by having his own opinion. We need diversity of colours not diversity of thought.

Obvious FF, and certainly better than most of his detractors. Pretty amusing how he manages to get under RINO Tom's skin.

LOL?  When he talks shlt and I respond, that doesn't mean he "got under my skin," though I know you *populists* stick together. Wink

I was exaggerating a bit, but yes, I do enjoy your little feud. Whenever one of you posts something, I know EXACTLY what the other one's immediate response will look like. Wink

Atlas needs stability, or it will crumble.

Finally saying something conservative!

Unfortunately, the alt-left of Michael Moore, Lyndon LaRouche, and Howard Zinn is more popular among the Democratic mainstream than most Republicans. That will likely mean that Maduro beats out Trump with Atlas's Democrats.

Let's not pretend Howard Zinn is an actual historian. He clearly had an extremely radical agenda, and the fact that people like Shadows and other staunch Sanders supporters keep quoting him is certainly comparable to the alt-right of Milo and Richard Spencer.

My stance on social issues is an overall centrist approach. While I prefer the ekklesia to ensure liberty and then stay out of it to save time and drachma, I still have my own opinions on the matter and hence my actions may reflect that. I refer to slaves by the natural condition of "property" assigned to them at birth. With all due respect to all those on the other side of the matter, I don't buy the whole "equality" thing. Nor do I buy that slaves can become citizens by "purchasing" their freedom, I think that is a lot of phony information. The only exception I make if for those who are slaves by law only, as I think they deserve the dignity of being referred to as human beings.

Yes, Zinn is shoddy and agenda-driven in his history writing. But that makes him comparable to Jonah Goldberg, not Richard Spencer.

Yes, Zinn is shoddy and agenda-driven in his history writing. But that makes him comparable to Jonah Goldberg, not Richard Spencer.

It's not especially fair to compare someone who was an academic historian, albeit one whose personal project was oriented around retelling American history as a morality tale, to an un-credentialed editorialist who has written a couple of potboilers posing as political non-fiction to get in on the vast right-wing publishing grift. (Can you imagine anyone like Eric Foner writing an admiring obituary for Jonah Goldberg?)

Zinn's work is also impossible to separate from how history is taught in the United States and I don't think you can read it without thinking of it as a response to the parade of decontextualized facts, great men, and unerring optimism and progress to which students in most primary and secondary school classrooms are subject.

Of course it's a response to something.  That doesn't make it good history. Note I didn't say anything about Jonah Goldberg's credentials or whether historians with leftist sympathies have nice things to say about him.

but I realized this discussion is in the funny posts thread and it isn't very funny anymore.

Interruptions might be a concern if more than a negligible portion of posts made in this thread were funny in the first place.

I think that you would be hard pressed to find any historian who believes that Jonah Goldberg's is making a positive contribution - or even an honest attempt at one - to the public's understanding of history or politics.

I believe those historians who have some nice things to say about Zinn's work generally do so because of it's promoting among the public the interest of certain kinds of history, not the understanding of that history.   I find it much more difficult myself to be so sanguine about the distortions promoted by this work in its influence on the public understanding of history.  The fact that he was an academic historian only makes these distortions the more jarring.
