Colonial Apologist Posits the Moral Necessity of Political Irrationalism

Here is Colonial Apologist (CA) on the moral necessity of vengeance in the predication and rationalization of American Foreign Policy: one need only tune to the Murdock Network for a less highly garnished version of American Exceptionalism. Can anyone acquainted with this ‘historian’ and full time rationalizer for the British Empire’s unbridled violence, be surprised at this emotionally shallow appeal to the base instincts of a potential human political vocabulary? CA carefully recounts the many crimes of Muammar Gaddafi , not without a palpable, even  predictable ideological terminus. He is a complement to the opinionating of Pretty Boy Reactionary and makes a perfect bookend to the self-congratulatory jottings of Cogitating Peter.

Please follow the link provided below for the Johann Hari essay on Colonial Apologist (CP). It provides necessary, indeed, indispensable information on his fascinating public career and revelatory data on his associates and fellow travelers.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
