Professor Hanson, I couldn’t help but notice the significance behind Joe Biden donning that red hat at the fire station. It was no accident, and to add insult to injury, he even carried it up the steps of Air Force One. To me, this feels like a deliberate message, almost like a ‘kick in the pants’ to the Obamas and Pelosi. It seems clear that he’s harboring bitterness over the coup, and this is his version of payback. This is just my take on it. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Dr. Hanson spoke to the Democrat Party of his childhood; for the working man. That may have been true for the Valley, but the party was not monolithic. In Boston and New York they were doing what all parties did (and do?). Take advantage of ethnic minorities, like the Irish. “Its us against the rich English.” My Dad was born in 1915. When in a Catholic home in KCMO, his similarly-aged roommate was an old roust-about who had worked for Boss Tweed. He bragged about how Tweed would put on picnics for those whiling to go to polling places and beat the hell out of people to ensure that they voted Democrat.
Regarding abortion, apart from its legality, why is there a need for SO MANY? Its not all incest, rape and medical necessity. What ever happened to, “I am woman hear me roar?” All of these modern women can’t compel their partners to use condoms?
Among the reasons that the Japanese had enmity for the Western powers prior to WW II, was the snub they received at the Washington Naval Conference in 1921. At that conference, the U.S. and Britain imposed a 5:5:3 ratio on the tonnage of capital warships and spurned Japan’s desire for acknowledgement of their special interests in Manchuria and Mongolia. Japan had been an ally in WW I and now they were treated, at least in their minds, as relative non-entities.
