Hornberger’s Blog, December 2003

Wednesday, December 31, 2003 Our federal daddy is once again taking care of his adult-children, this time by banning the diet and bodybuilding supplement ephedra, which daddy says is dangerous. No, adult-children cannot be expected to make this decision themselves because daddy says that they are incompetent to do so, despite the fact that most of them are graduates of public (i.e., government) schools. Interestingly, the decision was made by unelected dictocrats rather than the elected members of Congress, reinforcing the popular view regarding the nature of freedom—that people are free when regulatory bureaucrats are free to issue edicts designed to take care of their people. Interestingly, daddy’s ban doesn’t go into effect for a couple of months, enabling his adult-children to continue purchasing and stockpiling the drug and ingesting it long after daddy’s ban has gone into effect. Oh well, no parent is perfect, right? Tuesday, December 30, 2003 As part if it’s war on terror, the FBI has alerted 18,000 ...

Was the Good War Unnecessary? Part 2

by
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World by Patrick J. Buchanan (New York: Crown Publishers, 2008); 518 pages. Britains poor diplomacy in the 1930s also helped bring about Mussolinis alliance with Hitler. Upon taking power, Hitler attempted to win Mussolini over by offering South Tyrol to Italy. Mussolini did not reciprocate the fondness. He condemned Hitler, thought him a thug and buffoon, and threatened war against him over the incomplete Nazi coup in Austria that killed Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, whom Mussolini respected considerably more than he did Hitler. In 1935 Mussolini agreed with Britain and France at the Stresa Front to uphold the principle of an independent Austria and to oppose German violations of the Versailles Treaty. But Britain itself capitulated to Hitlers next major move against the terms of Versailles, thus betraying the Stresa Front. On June 18, 1935, an ...
