Entry: Puritans or Habsburgs Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/puritans_or_habsburgs#1282 Post contents: Geoffrey Barraclough in The Origins of Modern Germany years ago gave a somewhat similar though broader analysis though not entirely without problems either. The main one I see with his is that he didn't seem to understand the Herder heritage, and with this one that the neocons love the Austrian liberterian social democrats. Further that it is unwarranted to see all American Protestants as "Puritans" or to use the appellation to mean something that didn't even apply to all of them. Most of the neocons it seems to me are Catholics and Jews besides. Sent at: 2008 05 16
