Not since the Vietnam War, all of the protests against the “Military Industrial Complex,” the FBI, CIA, and any other government entity that has an enforcement or intelligence authority have we been bludgeoned the tiresome scenario: the little guy getting in his verbal licks against the upper class, or the insular politician with the supportive audience in tow.
It’s nice to see it come home to roost when a Churchill or this whack-job Frisch gets a REAL dose of their own romantic vision: “Speaking Truth to Power.”
p>Yeah, we got that…in spades. What are we waiting for? br> — P. Aaron Jones br> Huntington Woods, Michigan /p> p> There are a couple of key points that Chris Orlet got wrong in his story. First, Jeff Goldstein considers himself a “classical liberal” (in his own words), so I believe this may disqualify his blog from the conservative moniker. Second, Ms. Frisch is an adjunct instructor, not a professor in any sense of the word, and should not be associated with the label. This information comes directly from Michelle Malkin’s blog and Protein Wisdom , specifically a response written by Jeff Goldstein to Inside Higher Ed . I appreciate Chris and the Spectator giving the entire event a high profile, though, and think the coverage is otherwise excellent.
