This article makes a valid argument against slavery, facism and racism while in the process indicting ALL Southerners as espousing such views. For example, "Thus it is safe to assume that a majority of white Southerners continue to uphold some of Dixie's most persistent traditions--a stubborn rejection of rational thought and a rancorous veneration of the profane." If this were true of most people from the South, I hardly think that Harvard would allow such ignorance into its hallowed halls.

Gingrich's success was fed by the smoldering anger of a nation suffering from stagnant wages, chronic overspending by the Federal Government, the failure of the public schools, the decline of public decency and the stubborn inability of the American underclass to rise out of poverty. He bundled up these anxieties cleverly, even brilliantly, and set them ablaze. "I want to encourage you to be a little anxious," he writes in his book To Renew America, "and then I want to encourage you to turn that...
