The Savage Warrior?
January 4, 2006
I wonder if Michael Savage will ever be able to rise above his name. I wonder, as well, if he will show John Murtha the sterner stuff to which Savage pretends by enlisting in the Army and requesting assignment in Iraq. THAT will show the congressman how wrong he was in saying he would not enlist in the military today! Savage is yet another lounge-chair warrior to confirm Charles Montague’s observation that “war hath no fury like a non-combatant.”
Butler Shaffer was Professor Emeritus at Southwestern University School of Law. He is the author of In Restraint of Trade: The Business Campaign Against Competition, 1918–1938, Calculated Chaos: Institutional Threats to Peace and Human Survival, and Boundaries of Order. His latest book is The Wizards of Ozymandias.
