57. Nah, it goes back much farther

While Saint Ronald the Dim had the advantage of mass media the roots go back to the South and John C. Calhoun and probably farther than that in human society in general.

Personally, there is a collection of people that the world would have been better off if they hadn’t been born.

John C. Calhoun
James Buchanan (the economist)
Leo Strauss
Russell Kirk
Von Hayek
Von Mises
William F. Buckley

On and on.

Preaching a theology of radicalized economics and racial hatred. What wonderful examples of Homo Sapiens.
