Excellent piece, Bump.

I am an Engllish major grad (1997) and the last professor I had was the only one willing to say this, adding that English Literature in American colleges is dead due to this garbage, (as well as most of the classic Liberal Arts.)

I try to argue the fact to my liberal friends that at the logical end of postmodern thought, there is no reality, let alone meaning, but, true to form, they are lost on feeling superior to everything and everyone, and ironically, all thinking the same, therefore being bigger conformists than those they seek to disdain.

My capacity to mete out such true logic and rational thought I think, is constantly seen as a threat by them (not to mention my love of America, guns and fine whiskey.) This article puts the finger on my constant frustration with the left.

These are high indicators that you are "A Bad American". Do not vocalize such sentiments around "non-bad" Americans. It'll attract unwanted criticism and strange glances, the strange glances being the most scathing they are able to muster.

Perhaps they contributed to its mortification, but this is hard to imagine since they came on the scene and pronounced it dead to begin with.
