Postmodern democrats live alongside unicorns and rainbows.
On a genetic level, Bruce Jenner is male. This should be beyond dispute, especially for democrat/liberals/progressives, (what are they calling themselves this week?) whose ideology boasts of its boundless respect for science, as opposed to knuckle-dragging conservatives who have the chutzpah to challenge politically rigged science.
But democrats insist that Bruce is female because he feels female.
To any clear thinking person it should be obvious that war is the final arbiter of all great conflicts. Those who speak of negotiated peace speak of fiction.
The great world wars have made this world what it is today, for better or ill, and there are numerous lessons to be learned regarding current geo-political conflicts. Thus I draw your attention to two very fine books.
The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman , and A World at Arms by Gerhard L. Weinberg.
Tuchman’s volume is about World War I, and Weinberg’s about World War II. Tuchman is a riveting popular historian who has the ability to tell a great story and make history come alive. Weinberg is more of an academic whose attention to detail, military and political, is simply jaw dropping.
An interesting theme crops up in both books that is both timely and intensely important.
Both Tuchman and Weinberg single out pacifists and peace movements and their murderous aftermath for special attention.
