Writing in The Thanatos Syndrome, the unmatchable (in my view) Percy delivered this pithy statement that perfectly sums up the problem with the cultural left:
"There's Hawkeye and Trapper John back in Korea. I never did like those guys. They fancied themselves super-decent and super-tolerant, but actually had no use for anyone who was not exactly like them. What they were was super-pleased with themselves. In truth, they were the real bigots, and phony at that."

Great observation by Percy. Thanks for reminding us of it, Hunter. THE THANATOS SYNDROME is an excellent book, and still, alas, relevant. STK
Can't remember if I told you what a big fan of Percy I have been over the last few years. I've read virtually everything he ever wrote and still find new insights when I look back through his work.
