Re: "a loser and a failure" >>> LOL!!!!!! Some 'loser'!!!! >>> After Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980 restored the 1968-72 dynamics, Phillips was generally acknowledged as the Republican party’s principal electoral theoretician. In 1982, the Wall Street Journal described him as “the leading conservative electoral analyst -- the man who invented the Sun Belt, named the New Right, and prophesied ‘The Emerging Republican Majority’ in 1969.” >>> In reviewing his 1993 book, Boiling Point, the New York Times Book Review noted that “through more than 25 years of analysis and predictions, nobody has been as transcendentally right about the outlines of American political change as Kevin Phillips.” In 1990, Time observed that “in the shoot-from-the-hip world of Washington prognostication, Kevin Phillips stands out like Nostradamus.” >>> In 1999, The Cousins’ Wars, which analyzed the Anglo-American linkage and shared divisions through three civil wars -- the English Civil War, the American Revolution and the American Civil War -- was runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in History. In 2002, Wealth and Democracy, which warned about the historical perils posed by the increasingly warped inter-relationship of the two forces in the U.S., climbed to number 11 on the national (NYT) bestseller list. >>> In 2003, William McKinley, Phillips’s study of the (Republican) 25th U.S. president, done for Arthur Schlesinger’s American Presidents series, prompted the publication Foreign Affairs to say that “an unmatched ability to link retail politics with great public issues and broad economic trends gives Phillips extraordinary insight into the making of the American past. {He} is one of a handful of scholars who can treat both the American past and the American present with authority; this book will strengthen his already formidable reputation even more than it will help McKinley’s.” >>> If that's a 'loser' and a 'failure', what does that make poor Cyber-Stalin? >>> LOL!!!!!
