From An Angry Reader: To: Prof. Victor Davis Hanson At the end of your interview with Scott Simon on 8 July 2017 I heard this: “And look how they took a good man like George Bush and turned him into a monster”. It caught my attention. One of the few things I agree […]
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. I have an acre yard that I tend myself and often could use some quite serious help in mowing, pruning, weeding, and hauling. Sincerely Victor Hanson
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.

From an Angry Reader: Dr. Hanson, You will not like what I am about to say. It’s a good thing we’re 3,000 miles apart. Because if I saw you on the street, I’d … A threat? You decide. Daniel Weir Washington, DC dweir3@icloud.com Reply from Victor Davis Hanson: Dear Second-time Angry Reader Daniel Weir, And
From An Angry Reader: In your recent article you are off base, friend. Every day that passes proves Trump to be unfit in so many ways. I figure a Trump believer to be either embarrassingly uninformed or purely hypocritical, willing to push a conservative agenda regardless of flag bearer. No doubt you are the latter…
From A Not So Angry Reader: Dr. Hanson: I am a frequent listener to the Classicist. After listening to the episode “A Cold Civil War?” I had a few questions. I do not intend this to be inflammatory, I simply do not want to make assumptions about your beliefs. First, do you believe that approximately three million
From an Angry Reader: Dr. Hanson, Years ago, especially right after 9 / 11, I enjoyed your essays on NRO. One piece I especially liked was your column, in late 2001, titled (if memory serves), “I’m Glad We’re Not Fighting Us.” Pardon my brusqueness, but what the hell has happened to you? You’ve turned into
