Entry: Remembering Kent State: The President as Street Thug Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/kent_state_the_president_as_street_thug#1435 Post contents: I find myself amused as well as bemused by Mr. Miller's post, though I can't blame him much, or others who take the same tack. But when next we meet I shall perhaps speak sternly to Dr. Sarto for singling out the lines most apt to provoke, to be taken by the unwary as the sense of the whole; I have had no response at all to what I care most about. For the rest, I am not against the working man, nor was I even then, and perhaps know him a bit better than those who presume to speak for him a generation and more after the fact. But I was, and am, repulsed by the Republican trick of inciting class war (and a disguised form of race war) to cover up the failure of harebrained policies. And I feel personally betrayed by those movement Conservatives who did so much to create the neocon persuasion by furthering the Nixon agenda. It is or should be beneath the dignity of the leaders of a nation such as ours. WWBS! What would Burke say? That's what I asked myself then, and ask myself now. Sent at: 2008 09 05
