He still doesn’t get it, and he probably never will

Lawrence Auster has linked to Welmer’s superlative Spearhead article “How Game Secured American Independence.” He doesn’t bother refuting Welmer’s thesis, though, simply dismissing it as “amusing.” Whenever someone does this, it’s usually because they realize they’re intellectually outclassed and are trying to save face. Larry, what happened to ya, man? How did the brilliant mind who wrote The Path to National Suicide become so narrow-minded, stubborn, and recalcitrant that his reaction to new ideas is to shove his fingers in his ears and scream, “Nyah nyah, nyah nyah nyah, I can’t hear you!” like a bratty child? The words I wrote back in August still apply today:

Because of conservatives’ collective ignorance on this topic, their efforts to turn back Western civilization’s decline have amounted to less than nothing. If Lawrence Auster and other like-minded right-wingers don’t get their act together, not only will society continue its descent into savagery, but future generations will curse them as idiots and fools who wasted their time on irrelevant side issues only to let the civilization they were ostensibly defending fall to pieces. I criticize them because I care.

Just keep laughing, Mr. Auster. You and your compadres are laughing yourselves straight into irrelevancy.
