Message: Entry: A Tale of Two Normans: Podhoretz and Finklestein Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_tale_of_two_normans_podhoretz_and_finklestein#7963 Post contents: A fine article that hits the right notes. It is Germanophile (and maybe Habsburg-phile), and correctly assaults the repugnant Goldhagen. It is magnanimous to the Neocons of the 70s, who were indeed leading the charge against Cultural Marxism, and to Heather McDonald, writing in a Neocon source, who has written the truth. It offers a short but good analysis of The Frankfurter School, and begins a long overdue attack on Cultural Marxism. Let’s have more such attacks. We Real Conservatives can attack Cultural Marxism better than the Neocons. 1. Real Conservatives or “The Old Right is terrified of the subject of race”, or of Judeophobia? Well might we be, for we have yet to purge ourselves of racialists and Judeophobes, and we know it, and thus are open to the (false) charge of “racism” and “Antisemitism”? I grant to those who say I harp on this too much that Neo-Fascists, Clerical Fascists, and Neo-Nazis are of a number that would fit in a telephone booth. Rather I strees this as a practical matter: had we been more thoroughgoing in so purging, we could have taken the lead against the Cultural Marxist exploitation of Jena. Now we're caught short. Truth be told, the "Leftist" race exploiters in Jena are really racialist nationalist themselves (Though the Cultural Marxists don't know it). I suspect they've taken much of their propaganda from the National Alliance, and just changed the color. Ditto Susan Sontag, Leonard Jeffries, and Frances Cress Welsing. 2. The Cultural Marxists will never forgive the US leading the Cold War against Marxism. The Neo-Fascists and Racialists will never forgive the US for participating in World War II, in the European Theater. Fair enough: I’ll not forgive the Sam Franciscans for opposing the League of the South – at least not until they stop their opposition and stop an idolatry of Lincoln that might as well be taken from the Neocon page. And the Neocons are called “inconsistent”! (which they are). Tu quoque to the Sam Franciscans! Real Conservatives supported both the World War II (in time) and also The Cold War – both in principle, though they may have decided reservations about how these wars were executed (e.g. the crimes of Air Marshall Harris or Vietnam, respectively). Real Conservatives opposed Iraq, Vietnam, World War I especially, The Spanish American War, and most definitely Lincoln’s War. I ask writebackers to respond to Dr. Gottfried’s article not to me. “Highjacking” is a false metaphor. Highjacking is coercive. No one coerced to read what I write, or to respond to it.
