Anyone who thinks that this man is somehow a "democratic" saviour of the world, rather than the homicidal and nuclear-striving maniac that he is, well, very clearly insane. You know, something like this guy?
And I think the answer to [i]that[/i] question is fairly self-evident at this point—even if Bollinger didn't come out and say so as obviously as he did.
Interesting tidbit: Before the scale of his murderousness became [i]very[/i] obvious to the Allied powers, Adolph Hitler's policies of racial cleansing were actually advocated and [i]supported[/i] by our intelligentsia. See the Eugenics Archive (reciting the URL for memory—let me know if it doesn't load) for details on how America's leaders at ALL LEVELS celebrated his "advancements" in the "science" of racial purity.
It's actually a pretty damning condemnation of the West to observe that it took the outright [i]murdering[/i] 6 million people for us to understand how [u]evil[/u] Eugenics was.
In any case, my point remains: Academia is not always where we should expect to find [i]truly[/i] enlightened thought. At least, not in terms of Christ's illumination, that is.
