Paul Johnson has done more historical “fact-based” researh than any historian past or present.His “Modern Times” will rank,by future historians,as a work on par with “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.”
Of course,by being “fact-based” the international left dismisses his work as biased and inaccurate “right-wing history,” a natural badge of honor for the firm and correct literary warriors fighting the “1984” style historical revisionism of liberal acadamia.
Mr.Johnson is no ideologue,he simply records and reports the naked truth which only makes him appear to the agenda driven and purposly obtuse a conservative ideologue.
Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter are perhaps unintentional students of Paul Johnson being the only “biased and innacurate” by leftist standards,candidates in the presidential race.
The long considered axiom of the honarable politician:”I would rather be right than president,” would be an anachronism if conservatives would but do their best to support them.
“I can be right and president,” could be the new GOP paradigm with our unified eschewing of the pretty and populist.
One of my favorite book store acts to to replace Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States (which is usually prominently displayed in the history section) with Johnson's A History of the American People (which usually isn't).
