Is examined by John C. Wright<\/a>. \u00a0We\u2019re at a stage where the idiocy, the lies, the madness is so overwhelmingly obvious, I\u2019m not sure what to do. \u00a0That a sizable majority of Americans, political leaders, media personalities, and even religious leaders have embraced the dumb, the lie, the madness just makes you realize how such horrible things we read about in history happened. \u00a0We often shake our heads at the zealous crusaders, the fanatical witch hunters, the bloodthirsty conquistadors, the racist slavers, the Nuremberg mobs, the Red Square revolutionaries, and we wonder how? \u00a0How could rational people fall into things which, even then, looked stupid and wrong, and in hindsight seem beyond madness and the denial of all reality? \u00a0Please read Mr. Wright\u2019s piece. \u00a0Then it will make perfect sense.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
