Entry: Man of the Century Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/man_of_the_century#28072 Post contents: Asking who is "Man of the Century" is asking who is "Devil of the Century". The twentieth was a century characterized by unchristian, barbaric bahavior from WWI and the Bolshvik Revolution right on down to the Iraq war and the bombing of Serbia. That so many books continue to be written and so much time continues to be wasted on tyrants and madmen who served as heads of state, party, or army is a sign of the continuing insanity and delusions of grandeur by which our civilization is characterized. Now that Lukacs, Kennan, and Buchanan have debunked the "greatness" of criminals such as Churchill (or Hitler or Stalin, or FDR, or Lincoln, or Napoleon...) let us move on to more pressing matters such as trying to return some semblence of charity, grace, and Christian behavior to our dying civilization. Let's tear down ALL the monuments to these lunatics of the twentieth century and instead erect monuments to our Lord and Savior. But not necessarily stone or marble monuments, but those that take the form of real humans, communities, and nations that embrace the Lord's triumph and not the miserable losses of the wars and destruction waged by these monsters who make up our secular sacred pantheons.
