I agree with Jackson. The comments in Belmont were generally of high intellectual quality. Fernandez’s insights are still firsts class but I consider PM to be a subpar blog.
The British aristocracy was a competitive system. Only the oldest son inherited the family wealth other than what was put in trust for the other children.
The public schools demanded discipline and physical competition among the boys. Those who were seen as winners either in athletics or intelligence usually commanded respect.
So what has Hussein O done? Columbia U is full of group think among the left and our system is full of racial preferences.
The media did not make the commoners into aristos in England of old.
This country has lost tis way in a dangerous world. McCain withstood torture in Nam but he is not much of a leader.
