Bush the Jacobin

Of course we needn't pay attention to it. It was written by a sissy Francophone Canuck (a pepsi, if you will) who teaches history!! And that last name? Why, he might be, you know, one of them!! Is there no list somewhere that a real American can consult?

And though 18th-century France may seem impossibly distant to contemporary Americans, future historians examining Mr. Bush’s presidency within the longer sweep of political and intellectual history may find the French Revolution useful in understanding his curious brand of 21st- century conservatism.

We don't know what's worse, implying that Americans aren't good enough for his dumb old history, or trying to use that stupid old stuff to show us something. Doesn't he know that everything changed after 9/11?Above: Fighting terrorism avec la Terreur.
