“Add Victor Davis Hanson to your list.”

This is bad advice. VDH is a cuckservative, like all his other good buddies at National Review. We all should have learned this past election that knowledge of classical history and academic erudition doesn’t generate sound political judgment.

Doctor, you don't have to swallow EVERYTHING someone writes. VDH has insight into the changing rural California scene you cannot read anywhere else. I know nothing about the Peloponnesian wars and VDH knows everything.

The vast majority of pundits, commentators and essayists were way behind the curve (us, Rush, Savage, Hannity, etc.) concerning the malevolence of the previous president. VDH, like many of us, suffers from normalcy bias and could not find a motive for the previous president's actions. His heart is in the right place and his pen is outstanding.

Sorry, but VDH is a national treasure who is a classical scholar of the old school and I read everything he writes.
