Topic: David Hanson (politician)

  Works and Days
Hanson, for those who somehow have missed him until now, is a professor of Classics at California State and also is a part time farmer, both of which have contributed to his writing as a military historian.
Hanson relates the life stories of his farmer neighbors, writing that their way of life will likely soon disappear, thanks in part to a federal system of agricultural subsidies that favors large-scale, industrial farm corporations over individual “yeomen.” This is a sobering and eye-opening book.
Politicians need to stress that the melting pot is in everybody’s interest, especially now in an increasingly multiracial America of conflicting languages, ethnicities, and religions.

 David Did You Mean david?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
David was the eighth and youngest son of Jesse, a citizen of Bethlehem.
David was sent for, and the prophet immediately recognized him as the chosen of God, chosen to succeed King Saul, who was now departing from the ways of God, on the throne of the kingdom.
David took only his sling, and with a well-trained aim threw a stone "out of the brook," which struck the giant's forehead, so that he fell senseless to the ground.

 Center for Immigration Studies
Hanson said the political dynamics of immigration are unlike the dynamics of any other issue, which is why little is done by the U.S. government to stop the flow of illegal immigrants.
Hanson: Here in the Central Valley we have literally thousands of new immigrants of all races from southeast Asia, the Punjab, Armenia, and Mexico who arrived under lawful auspices, in numbers that do not overwhelm local facilities, and with the assumption that assimilation and acculturation alone promise success in their new country.
Hanson is being careful not to be too anti-immigration (in which case he wouldn't be in National Review at all), so he dwells on illegal immigrants and the problem of assimilating them.

 Victor Davis Hanson on 9/11/01 on National Review Online
It will require an economist, politician, historian, philosopher, and artist to make sense of the world turned upside down after September 11, which unlike Y2K really did prove to be the abyss between the millennia.
Until then, we would do better to think simply of the dead, and to pledge both that we shall never forget them and in our lifetimes and, according to our efforts and station, we shall not allow it to happen again to any others on these shores — so help us, God.

 Werther: Victor Davis Hanson, Bard of the Booboisie
Hanson can resolve this conundrum of who was loyal by paying a visit to the office of the senior Senator of Hawaii: Japanese-American, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and infantry soldier who left a limb on the killing fields of World War II fighting for his country.
Hanson, by contrast, suggests that the Liberal obsession with World War II revisionism and the alleged faults of the United States have resulted in the diminution of appreciation for the Axis' killing of innocent civilians.
Hanson's other non-sequiturs and illogicalities: his seeming dismissal of the Chinese contribution (the implication that the PRC's butchering its citizens after the war somehow negates the Chinese role in winning it) ignores the fact that the bulk of the Japanese Army was tied up in China throughout the war.

 What Would Dick Think? (WWDT)
The PKD bust is remarkably lifelike, except for its lack of hair.
No man in Congress, no ambitious politician anywhere, can oppose the President's policy without "going against his party." And to go against the party, whenever the President chooses to enter upon a war of "criminal agression," is, in the view of the party organs and orators, to commit treason.
What all this means in ostracism and abuse the very few Republican Senators and Representatives who have had the courage to oppose the President's progressive militarism have learned to their cost.

Furthermore, a politician who, after these and like events, does not think carefully about whether a military subordinate will likely turn on him the moment he takes off the uniform must be exceptionally naive.
No matter how low an opinion a general has of politicians, he is a fool if he thinks them unaware of their own interests.

 The Blog | Max Blumenthal: An Evening With David Horowitz and Ward Churchill | The Huffington Post   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
As poorly as David Horowitz performed in his debate last Thursday at George Washington University against Colorado University's Ward Churchill, he still won.
The debate (audio here) was promoted and staged safely within the right's intellectual hothouse by Young Americans for Freedom, ensuring that at least most of the crowd would give serious consideration to Horowitz's conspiratorial maledictions against academia.
We must always remember who David Horowitz really is: a former communist who somehow had a 180-degree change in his political views and now endorses the worst of the neoconservative agenda.

On occasion, those who are tainted, sometimes unfairly, with past charges of rightist extremism, find some psychic release in calling an American democratic president or his conduct Nazi-like.
Thus, a German politician, who de facto unfortunately operates under the suspicions of the post-Nazi world, gains the moral high ground and moral fides by gratuitously deflecting attention to an American — not as the descendant of the liberators of the Europe, but as the true inheritor of the German Hitlerian mantel.
