Entry: Neoconservatism: A Cancer on the Presidency Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/neoconservatism_a_cancer_on_the_presidency#3072 Post contents: Since Harding, we've had a number of worse presidents: Hoover, Hoover on Wheels (FDR), Kennedy, and LBJ. We've had equally bad: Nixon, Carter, Clinton. Ask Lew Rockwell, and he'll tell you that Harding in fact wasn't all that bad. Taki shouldn't rely on the opinion polls of our soviet of Cultural Marxist American historians as to who the best and worst presidents were. As for bad advisers, let's put the ultimate blame where it's due, and pass the buck to where it stops: Woodrow the Worst, who was Hoover's and FDR's principal economic advisers (both men _petite functionaires_ in Wilson's war machine), and the principal foreign policy adviser to JFK, LBJ, Milhous, Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II. Calvin C, Ike and Truman knew it all moonshine. In passing, it ought to be observed that the Grundväter intended that the Senate be a big committee of the chief advisers to the president, esp. with respect to foreign policy, where its consent was also obliged. G. Washington, in one of his two mistakes, stopped dropping by to so consult, and his successors did likewise. (His other mistake was Hamilton.) Even Andy's Jackson's kitchen cabinet would have been better than Col. House, Hull, Dulles, Bundy, McNamara, Rusk, Dr.Merkwürdigliebe, Dr. Zib, and Miz Albright. It's not original from me: Let's go back to Washington's foreign policy -- George Washington's. Sent at: 2008 07 24
