Andrew Klavan talks about reality finding its way out in the liberal film on Richard Nixson. Of course, he says, “This is still a Hollywood film, after all. Nixon gets no credit for helping to expose Communist infiltration in American government, or for stopping the spread of Communism in Asia through his hard line war policies. The left takes no responsibility for the millions of murders brought about by the coming of ‘peace.’ And, of course, we hear that the slaughter-happy Khmer Rouge was a creation of American policy: that comforting old leftist nursery story that no evil exists except when we make it—so if we’re very, very good, the bad men won’t hurt us.”

But there aren’t any bad men. Don’t we all know that? There are only misunderstood men. Like the Buffalo, New York, man who worked to improve the perception of Muslims in America. He is accused of beheading his wife. I’m sure there’s a misunderstanding.

I need to stop reading the news.
