History by AnalogyHistory by AnalogyLike Houghton, Jespersen writes of the reasoning behind thesupposed necessity of using history by analogy. However,Jespersen, more so than Houghton alludes to the mistakes andmisconceptions that are obtained through using historical analogy.Additionally Jespersen notes how often the wrong analogy isinitially made in the wake of an attack or historical event.Jespersen claims that immediately following 9/11 many jumped tothe conclusion that this was the equivalent of a modern day PearlHarbor. Conspiracy Theorists then illuminated the similaritiesbetween Roosevelt who was seen as a power tyrant, and Bush whosome view as an illegitimate president, not really winning theelection. However time would reveal that this was a far situationfrom Pearl Harbor, especially once taken to Iraq. Instead thecurrent analogy became that of the Vietnam War. FurthermoreSaddam Hussein became compared to Adolph Hitler and North Korea,Iran, and Iraq
Theodore L. Powell (born March 17, 1864) is a professor of history and public affairs and author of The Founding and The Rise of an Independent Republic , a new book on US history produced by the Robert L. Kennedy Presidential Library to promote the development of a national and internationalist internationalism which, among other programs, will produce a free and honest internationalism which does not tolerate the oppression carried by imperialism as a way of life and which, with the necessary support of the United States , represents a re-establishment of the democratic and democratic system of state power in which our society and the entire globe can be based.
In the history of the United States, President Johnson was president in the 1864 election, even though he had been elected only because of some ill-conceived policies of the Republican Party, as seen in the policies that he implemented such as the Great Society Act, the anti-slavery Acts, and the anti-migration Acts. At a time when even the best of liberal American politicians were in crisis and the national interest was at risk , Johnson, like his predecessors , had been unable to overcome his own political difficulties. Johnson’s policies were not a product of the Great Society Act, but of the Democratic Manifesto, a document aimed at weakening the Republican Party and giving it power to control our political institutions. Johnson’s political weakness and incompetence was exemplified by his refusal to support his constitutionalist Republican predecessor George Wallace’s failed presidential bid, especially on the grounds of his racist and racial nationalist stances. Although Johnson had become more conservative after World War III than was Clinton , he failed to act upon his own electoral ambitions and he has been described in the past as a “hump-hop who tried to win the presidency of the United States, by way of the impeachment of President Johnson. Of course, there is no evidence to suggest such a role-playing. Nevertheless, Johnson, like his Democratic predecessor, had been able to overcome the failures of the Republican Party and gain an early victory. During the presidency Johnson was an influential figure who was able to establish a majority of both houses of the Senate and he was also able to get his party onto the same side of the country as FDR and he has remained the most important member of Congress ever elected.
