Entry: Frum's Mishagas Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/frums_mishagas#9408 Post contents: 1. If Frummer is spreading the old Belgian atrocities lies of the British Press office, then he's up to very damnable work indeed. 2. Boyd Cathey, I suspect more pleasant surprises are in store for you. 3. Niall Ferguson's book is indeed outstanding. And the title is so correct: Name the most important economic power, if not the dominant country, in Europe today: Germany -- and that after losing two world wars and 44 years divided! So if that was what so going to happen <i>anyway</i>, they why have these two wars and so many lives lost just to try to stop it? Paul Gottfried is a gentleman and and scholar to praise a book from someone who may not subscribe to Paleoconservative politics. 4. Reg Stocking is correct about Bryan. The recent biography by a Social Democrat/Cultural Marxist completely ignores Bryan's finest hour: His opposition to Woodrow the Worst. I would move only one amendment to what Reg has said. One wonders: had there been no World War I, or had the Central Powers won it, would ol' Adi have been an antisemite? The record shows that he had, in his Linz and Vienna days. Jewish friends, considered himself deeply obliged and grateful to his mother's Jewish physician, avoided joining George Schönerer's antisemitic Pan German Union (though granted this is an argument from silence), sold his paintings and postcards in stores owned by Jewish merchants to whom he was grateful, and we don't hear a peep of antisemitism out of his mouth or in his writing until 1919. And as for his likely life: No World War I, and my guess is that 'Dolf would have ended up a copy boy in the architectural firms of Speer und Speer. Sent at: 2008 07 06
