I hope not, because I’m not a historian of Progressivism.......
But it seems that the field is wide open for you in that Progressivism needs to be put in its proper place from an objective point of view and a conservative point of view. What books do this?
Until Glenn Beck I had a warm and fuzzy liking for the progressives of the classic Progressive era. Glenn has it in for Teddy Roosevelt which is very bold due to TR having a very good image, starting our National Park system and being a trust buster. Woodrow Wilson the uber progressive has no image
Pestritti’s book on Wilson is good (sp), and Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism nails it. I agree, I’m not a TR hater. Rather, he disappoints me, because his patriotism is unquestioned, his desire for the U.S> to be “top dog” for the right reasons is unquestioned, but because he never really ran a business (a cattle ranch, very briefly, and lost a lot of money) successfully, he never appreciated what business DID.
