  Ramsay MacDonald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
MacDonald had been forgiven for his pacifism by the time of the 1922 General Election and was elected to represent Aberavon.
MacDonald, now had 556 pro-National Government MPs and had no difficulty pursuing the policies suggested by Sir George May. However, disowned by his own party, he was now a prisoner of the Conservative Party, and in 1935 he was gently eased from power.
To dismiss MacDonald as a traitor to Labour is nonsense.

George Macdonald was born at Huntly, in the western part of Aberdeenshire on 10 December, 1824, the son of George Macdonald, farmer, and Helen MacKay.
MacDonald was mentor to C.S. Lewis; formed a strong friendship with Mark Twain after a tumultuous start and G. Chesterton, Henry Longfellow, Madeleine L'Engle and Walt Whitman were also counted among his friends.
All MacDonald's fiction (excepting maybe some of the fantasy) is "God-breathed," in a sense, because George MacDonald lived the life of the true Christian, the man or woman who walks in the light of Christ, not just talks the talk.

 Robert Falconer
But Robert felt nothing immoral in playing upon his grandfather's violin, nor even in taking liberties with a piece of lumber for which nobody cared but possibly the dead; therefore he was not unhappy, only much disappointed, very empty, and somewhat gloomy.
Robert consequently began to take fits of soul-saving, a most rational exercise, worldly wise and prudent--right too on the principles he had received, but not in the least Christian in its nature, or even God-fearing.
Then Robert had to pray after her, loud in her ear, that she might hear him thoroughly, so that he often felt as if he were praying to her, and not to God at all.

 Robert II of Scotland Summary
Robert first came to prominence at the battle of Halidon in 1333, where he was one of the commanders of the losing Scottish side and was in consequence dispossessed of his estates by Edward Balliol, the English-supported rival to Robert Bruce's son David II (born 1324; reigned 1329-1371).
Robert Steward was among the leaders of the successful resistance to the puppet regime of Balliol and, as principal regent from 1338, paved the way for David's return 3 years later.
Robert was uninterested in, and powerless to stop, the renewed and increasingly bitter hostilities between the English and the Scots (the latter egged on by the French) culminating in the burning of Edinburgh in 1385 and the Scottish victory at Otterburn 3 years later.

 Robert Fulford's column about the contentious career of Dwight Macdonald
Dwight Macdonald (1906-82), who called himself "a specialist in abuse" and "a technician of vilification," was their champion polemicist, a writer and talker of unequalled vehemence.
Macdonald became famous for his attacks on middlebrow culture, which (he argued) was degrading the finest art by watering it down for middle-class consumption.
Macdonald was always the liveliest of writers, and it's dispiriting to learn how often he was afflicted by depression.

MacDonald's explanatory approach, like that of Thornhill and Palmer, makes him vulnerable to the charge that he is "blaming the victim," a possibility to which we must remain ever vigilant.
MacDonald's work is an indispensable rosetta stone for understanding five of the key intellectual and political movements of the 20th century: communism, Boasian anthropology, psychoanalysis, Critical Theory and radical immigration reform.
One cannot easily dismiss MacDonald's conclusion that the leaders of the last century's most socially destructive movements were people with a deep sense of their Jewish identity because so much of his evidence is furnished by Jewish thinkers and participants of the very movements under discussion.
