So, he’s a professor, is he? Suing to re-instate deconstructionism is he? Phil Orenstein says, “Heil, Professor!”
…According to the deconstructionist approach, “the atrocities we read about are merely literary phenomena, referring not to the sufferings of real people, real ‘originals’ but only to ‘a previous text’.” This is an object lesson in the power of deconstruction to condone evil by obliterating the distinction between text and meaning.
Not only have academic deconstructionists and their followers been blinded to the moral difference between good and evil, but it seems that their focus has been averted from the visible world, their objectivity and critical thinking capabilities have been undermined, and their consciences have been numbed. Here, the copious critical theses of the postmodern academic historians with their own political agendas become more important than the history itself, thus setting the stage for totalitarian ideologies, real crimes, genocide, terrorist attacks, the Holocaust, even the 9/11 attacks on our country, to be viewed as literary phenomena. This growing cadre of academics and scholars and their disciples have been indoctrinated in an academic cult of literary criticism, worshiping the masters, regardless of the past crimes they committed aiding and abetting the Nazi regime and the Holocaust. Today they are busy writing voluminous dissertations vindicating our enemies, radical Islamic terrorists who have declared war on America and have vowed to “wipe Israel off the map.” What’s worse is that these relativist theories have provided the scholarly stamp for the soft-core relativism that engulfs American popular culture today, that has numbed American political conscience to the war against our nation.
He continues by quoting Victor Klemper’s I Will Bear Witness: A Diary of the Nazi Years 1933-1941:
… If one day the situation were reversed and the fate of the vanquished lay in my hands, then I would let all the ordinary folk go and even some of the leaders, who might perhaps after all have had honorable intentions and not known what they were doing. But I would have all the intellectuals strung up, and the professors three feet higher than the rest; they would be left hanging from the lampposts for as long as was compatible with hygiene.
Klemper was a Jew and victim of Nazi persecution.
