The Loony Left and the Outlook for 2024 – By Esther Goldberg (American Spectator) / May 30 2021
F.H. Buckley C-SPAN interview sparks thoughts on the Jan. 6 incident and Trump and his supporters.
Earlier today, C-SPAN interviewed Frank Buckley on his new book, Curiosity and Its Twelve Rules for Life, as well as several articles he wrote for The American Spectator that the Left deems contentious. Frank Buckley is a law professor, a much-published author, a senior editor of The American Spectator, and, I must disclose, my husband. The interview was excellent – I couldn’t tear myself away even though I hadn’t intended to spend 40 minutes listening to the radio. I link to this interview here.
Although the discussion soon veered away from the virtues of curiosity and into politics, it was civil enough except on one point: Buckley’s refusal to call the demonstrations of Jan. 6 an “insurrection.” According to one caller, this refusal made Buckley a racist purveyor of Republican “poison.”
The Left has been brainwashed with an entirely fictional version of the events of Jan. 6 and is incapable of seeing the logical consequences of accepting a narrative that brands 75 million Americans, about half of the country’s voters, as insurrection supporters. If that is correct, then we may well have an insurrection on our hands in the not-too-distant future.
