Entry: Pat, John, and the Others Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/pat_john_and_the_others#28295 Post contents: Thank you Michael Mercury. That is a reassuring quote from John Lukacs. Where is it from? <i>I wasn’t aware of Lukacs’ Jewish background.</i> I read <i>Confessions of an Original Sinner</i> back around 1994 and was surprised to read the single line in the otherwise very detailed book referring to his Jewish background. I disagree with Lukacs' stand againt Pat Buchanan - whose book on the subject just arrived at my house a few hours ago so I haven't had time to read it. But as much as I welcome a critical analysis of Lukacs' work - and I'm in general agreement with everything I've read thus far from Taki contributors such as Messrs. Gottfried and Spencer - I'm reluctant to be too critical of Lukacs given his very different upbringing from my own and his important role (around the end of the cold war) in opening my eyes to some of the problems with modern day American 'conservative' views on foreign policy. I look forward to a spirited and civil debate free of intellectual expulsions. Sent at: 2008 12 03
