09/12/17 From An Angry Reader: Angry Reader Bob McCarthy For one who loves to cast aspersions on political incorrectness in the use of words, maybe you should ‘splain to your readers your use of the term “Mexifornia” in decrying the Mexican “takeover” of California, as racist a piece as I’ve ever read.

From An Angry Reader: Dear Prof. Hanson,   I read your analysis of Trump’s electoral prospects with some interest: https://amgreatness.com/2017/08/14/anti-trump-bourbons-learning-forgetting-nothing-time-2020/ Since I’m a centrist Democrat, I will emulate your advice about Trump’s tweets – namely, I will ignore the barb-filled bromides you level against Democrats.

From An Angry Reader: I have heard your act numerous times, mostly on the John Bachelor show, and I find it tiresome.   You really need to spend more time on your “idyllic” farm and not venture out into reality.   Times change, places change, and people change, but you will not change or cause

From An Angry Reader: If you publish my letter on your website, it may best be placed in the “Angry Reader” category. I only agree with you 10 percent of the time, but I’m not angry. You are one of the two or three best conservative commentators, in my view. Three questions and one observation:

From An Angry Reader: Often, as in debates with flat Earth proponents, global warming denier, the mentally ill, or the Vatican persecution of Galileo, it is quite simply ludicrous to champion “fair and balanced” coverage, validating both sides’ integrity. What one needs is a fire alarm. When the Mooch’s head rolls, you will make an

From An Angry Reader: You need some serious help. Robert Millsap   Victor Davis Hanson’s Reply: Dear Angry Reader Robert Millsap,   In some sense, you are right.

From An Angry Reader: You either drank the cool aid or got a handsome check in the mail. Nonetheless, your argument doesn’t hold water. Not when I talk to people in southwest Virginia whose wells were contaminated by fracking. And throw in the illegal discharge of the brine water back into local streams. A resident

From an Angry Reader: Hello Dr. Hanson, While it’s hard to argue with “be happy day by day”, our current form of capitalism – which Hoover seems to endorse – makes that near impossible. Over the last 30 years, Friedman’s nutty idea of maximizing shareholder value as the only responsibility a corporation has, followed by
