For instance, who knew that Herbert Hoover, who had been such a heroic
do-gooder for the Belgians during their food crisis of 1914, would turn
out to be a president blatantly blasé about Americans who were starving
during the Great Depression? -- Sarah Vowell "Party Guy"

To
say that Hoover was "blatantly blasé," is careless at best,
and leads me to this conclusion about Ms. Vowell's education.
- She flunked her American history course, or ...
- She got an "A" in American history, but her professor was Howard Zinn
Here's an alternative view
that I was taught, along with the obligatory paeans to FDR. It's
this practice by liberals - ignoring that which challenges their world
view - that renders them so ill-equipped to engage in public debate,
Obama being a prime current example.
