Whaddayamean, "oh, brother!"? You're living proof.
You, Eric Foner, James McPherson, Harry Jaffa, the Claremonsters, and all the para-Claremonsters on this board, including you, are part of the Front.
The work is impressive, in terms of layout, maps, graphics, and as far as I could detect, content as well. Although McPherson has made and continues to issue numerous, outrageous, leftist statements through some of the worst left-wing media sources, I did not detect the same slanted agenda views as I scanned this particular book of his.
Mr. McPherson should stick to Civil War history, and clam up on any further unfounded ridiculous attacks on President Bush, the situation Iraq, coupled with tooting the horn for the radical left.
