"Harumphing curmudgeon" is putting it mildly. The following example paragraph isn't even a coherent expression of a far right viewpoint by Claremont's usual standards; it's just spittle-flecked nonsense. >The present ruling class, by contrast, does not appear to wish to improve the people but apparently seeks to make them worse. How else to explain policies that encourage poverty, joblessness, obesity, and illegitimacy? Or teaching children to hate their ancestors, their country, and themselves—and then encouraging them to self-mutilate while punishing parents who try to stop them? The government and its corporate allies have morphed into a kind of nationwide crime syndicate pushing drugs, gambling, sexual degeneracy, and every imaginable form of vice. The next step on the road to national dissolution, it is now clear, will be expropriation, a.k.a., racial “reparations.” One wonders what comes after all that money is spent on an attempt to square “the debt that can never be repaid”? Although there is some interesting information in the article, I do have to wonder whether I should believe a word of the analysis beyond the barest biographical facts. Knowing little about Kennan, I would rather turn to sources that are less prone to wild exaggerations and fabrications. (Anton has past form here, for anyone who cares to check.)
