Radical Son

C-Span's "In Depth" hosts a three-hour encounter with ur-neocon, David Horowitz. I only knew the man's work through FrontPage Magazine and his criticism of contemporary academia. I had no idea of the particulars of his biography or horrifying early experience with the Black Panthers.

Our guest for In Depth on Sunday, October 7th (LIVE Noon-3pm ET) is David Horowitz. Mr. Horowitz is the founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (formerly the Center for the Study of Popular Culture) and the publisher of FrontPage Magazine. Mr. Horowitz's books include: "Destructive Generation" (with Peter Collier), "Radical Son," "Uncivil Wars," and "Unholy Alliances." His most recent books are "The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America" and "Indoctrination U:The Left's War Against Academic Freedom."

I particularly enjoy his description of leftism as a form of religion and specifically a form of Pelagianism with the United States as the great obstacle to the creation of heaven on Earth.

"Leftism: immanentizing the eschaton a million lives at a time!" Too long for a bumper sticker? How about "Leftism: 100MM in the 20th C!" Too vague? OK then, let's try: "Leftism: We Kill Best!"
