Hannan Answers The Godless Commies

Posted on | December 5, 2013 | 12 Comments

by Smitty

Like all nations, we have sometimes behaved shabbily. But I stand by my claim: no other civilisation has been so secure a repository for human freedom.

All of these guilt-mongers can go get stuffed. We can be intellectually honest about our shortcomings without veering into the destructive self-hatred that so many Lefties just seem to groove on. I don’t give guilt, and I refuse to receive it from them.

Read the whole thing.

    Portside publicists like Victor Navasky and Barbara Ehrenreich are not wracked with guilt. They are what Thomas Sowell called ‘one up-ers”. Trashing their own society is a self-aggrandizing act.

    Well said.

    The Seventies were a golden age because we at least had a sense of humor back then…

    Mr. Hannan is one of the more interesting thinkers out there and always worth a read. But I find myself less willing to spend the time doing so when he writes this kind of rubbish:

    …Keith Vaz, the fruity-voiced chairman of the Commons home affairs select committee, morphed momentarily and implausibly into the foul-mouthed Senator Joe McCarthy.

    How can such a smart man as Hannan be so ignorant?
