Stupid article, but funny that the title gives a nod to Karl Marx's "history moves in a straight line" analysis. Liberals have been furiously criticizing this idea for 150 years.
Can you please not post shallow dismissals, please not call names, and please make your substantive points thoughtfully? A different version of your comment here could have explained your point neutrally and in detail—which I think could have been quite interesting and we could have learned something from. But this type of flamewar putdown just pours toxins into the environment.
