It’s on the reading stack, probably next, but life is busy at the moment.
If you haven’t read The Second World Wars, and watched his lecture series on the topic at Hillsdale, you should.
The man is truly a National treasure.
To my knowledge, he has never been invited on 60 Minutes, nbc, abc, cnn or any other lefty tv station.
He is my ‘go to’….’must listen’ guy…….
….a treasure trove of clear common sense about what is/was right about America
God bless him….We sure need VDH’s voice of reason now
He sure is. He is often on FOX News
Tucker invites him often!
VDH was a never Trumper until he saw the truth.
I joined his victorhanson.com and I listen to his podcasts as soon as they are out.
I just wish that all his writings were audio as well.
I agree 100%. I had heard of him, but up until about five years ago, had never done more than read an occasional article. Then, I watched a video of a lecture he gave, and I was so impressed I went out and bought the book.
Like you, I regard the man as one of the foremost conservative intellectuals. I see him in the same light as Thomas Sowell.
Yes.
The Left does a stellar job of keeping people like Thomas Sowell and Victor Davis Hanson away from their acolytes. Their whole premise is to keep their followers ignorant.
It is why they are going to such great efforts to diminish, destroy, hide, and outright censor any awareness of the Dinesh D’Souza “2000 Mules” documentary.
Truth has a funny way of changing the minds of those who have not deliberately closed it off to the truth as Leftists do.
In 2021 he did say that Biden is legitimate.
That’s when I stopped paying attention to him.
I saw what you just did:)
Yeah, I am sure you did.
He sure does.
Look forward to his view on things
VDH is one of the greater minds of our day. His book, The Second World Wars, is one of the most provocative works on the war I’ve read. I was very disappointed to find him pushing the neocon/White House line on Ukraine. This is the one guy I’d expected to realize that Putin was reacting to the 31st domino falling on his door step, 300 miles from Moscow. Very surprised and disappointed in VDH.
Then you stopped prematurely, Madam…( all due respect)
….Tucker has been ridiculing, exposing and pounding Biden on a regular basis
Was there something wrong with that? I was very skeptical at first too. I never vote for whoever gets the nomination in the primaries but I do in the general election. The first president I voted for was Ronald Reagan. I remember saying to myself in the primaries. He’s just an actor, but then he convinced me in the general election. Also I never voted for a rat candidate and never will.
I believe she was speaking about VDH, not Tucker.
I would love to hear VDH pontificate on 2000 Mules.
I read his “war: The Father of Us All about 15 years ago. Convinced me of his great capacity to put complex ideas into common sense understandings. As any brilliant intellectual should, his many ideas occasionally end up being wrong. But. then is explanation of why is a teaching moment, too.
