You'll notice that they never address anything Strauss has written. Everything centers around what other people think or have said about Strauss; everything focuses on motives. The implication seems to be that motives account for everything.

Strauss wouldn't have agreed with this approach. He actually believed in truth.

Strauss is a very complex thinker. I doubt most people could sit down, page through a book and "get it." Impossible.

Stanley Rosen Bump!

Motives do seem to count for everything for the left! Horowitz called them the ideology of good intentions.I don't know much but I know which road is paved with good intentions.(I thank you for sharing your understanding)

Yes, I noticed. Nothing like the elite code of a journalist.
