Slide 4 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016WestCal Academy
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.

Reagan His Place In History
By Richard Brookhiser

August/September 2004 | Volume 55, Issue 4
Six Aspects Of The Man—Three Political, Three Personal—Hint At How Posterity Will
View Him
Richard Brookhiser [1]
August/September 2004 [2]
Contemporary judgments of presidents are notoriously erratic. Consider the four who
decorate Mount Rushmore, the stony seal of posterity’s approval. Although Washington
retired with almost universally good reviews, Benjamin Franklin’s grandson did say he had
“debauched” the nation. Jefferson left the White House with the joy of an escaping
prisoner and a stress-induced migraine condition. The Senate was so angry with
Theodore Roosevelt in his last days in office that it refused to accept his communications.
Lincoln, who tops every historian’s rating of Presidents, was murdered.
When Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, he truly retired, intending no Nixonian or
Carteresque codas, and the onset of Alzheimer’s was soon setting his agenda in any
case. Journalists and historians could thus get an early start on their posthumous
shiftings. But their work will go on for years. The talented Edmund Morris was given a
clean shot at writing the definitive early account, like John Marshall’s biography of
Washington (or Edwin O’Connor’s fictional portrait of James Michael Curley), but Morris
produced such an eccentric work that even that task will have to be done, and redone.
Whatever the writers finally come up with, all their labors, like all the events of their
subject’s career, will be distilled by the national memory into two or three facts or phrases,
maybe only one. My childhood history of the Presidents, which had to find something
important and moderately good to say about every Chief Executive, could at least say of
Millard Fillmore that he sent Commodore Perry to Japan.
Here is a preliminary list of six aspects of Ronald Reagan—three personal, three
political—from which those in the year 2075 may make their selection.
Like notable predecessors—Jefferson, FDR—Reagan had an optimistic view of things.
Also like them, he had demons and enemies. But he was serenely confident that he would

prevail. His political optimism came from a buoyant temperament. The command
performance for his personality was the moment when, at the age of 70, one of John
Hinckley’s bullets lodged an inch from his heart. He spent his time, before and after the
operation that saved his life, cracking jokes almost as old as himself. We often use military
metaphors to describe normal political controversy—for instance, a “barrage” of criticism.
Ronald Reagan reacted to actual gunfire with better humor than many politicians do to
bad headlines.

• In the 1950s when Adlai Stevenson was running for
President, a voter assured him that “Every thinking
American will vote for you.”
• Stevenson replied, “That won’t be enough.”

Insult Humor Continued
Mike Peters gained national attention
with a cartoon that managed to insult
three U. S. Presidents. It showed:
– George Washington saying, “I cannot tell a
lie,”
– Richard Nixon saying, “I cannot tell the
truth.”
– and Jimmy Carter saying, “I cannot tell the
difference.”
40. SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR
• Ronald Reagan was the oldest person ever elected to serve as
U. S. President. He joked about his age at a Gridiron Club
dinner noting that the club had been founded in 1885.
• He quipped that he felt bad at not being invited…“It seems like
only yesterday.”
• His most famous quip came in a televised debate with his
opponent Walter Mondale. With a twinkle in his eye, he said
that age should not be an issue, and then added, “I will not
exploit, for political purposes the youth and inexperience of my
opponent.”
40
41. Mondale laughed at Reagan’s joke, but his heart was broken.
He knew at that point he had lost the election.
41
43. Gerald Ford was Unexpectedly Appointed Vice-
President, and then President Nixon Resigned.
• One of his best lines was that when he was first invited to
speak he was “then America’s first instant Vice-
President, and then I became America’s first instant
President. The Marine Corps Band is so confused they
don’t know whether to play, ‘Hail to the Chief,’ or ‘You’ve
Come a Long Way, Baby.’”
• Chevy Chase used to do a popular parody of Gerald Ford,
including his tripping on the stairs of Air Force One. In
1986, Ford hosted a “Humor and the Presidency”
symposium at the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Ford turned the tables by tripping
Chevy Case who had come as an honored guest.

GERALD FORD Continued
•Robert Orben was the Presidential speech
writer for Gerald Ford. Sometimes Ford muffed
the lines Orben had written.
•So Orben attached a 3 X 5 card on the inside
cover of Ford’s speech binder, reading, “I told
my wife I knew this speech backwards, and
that’s how I’m delivering it.”
•This became one of Ford’s most successful
lines. He sometimes bungled speeches just so
he could use it.
45. 45
JOHN F. KENNEDY
• Many of Kennedy’s critics felt that he
had an unfair advantage because of his
family’s wealth.
• So during one speech, he pulled a fake
telegram from his father saying, “Don’t
buy one vote more than necessary. I’ll
be damned if I’ll pay for a landslide.”
46. 46
An Analogy
• At the Democratic National Convention in August
of 2008, Hillary Clinton said that John McCain and
George W. Bush had the same policies…
– On the economy,
– On supporting the oil companies,
– On supporting big business,
– On the war in Iraq.
• She added that it’s appropriate that the
Republican National Convention is being held in
the Twin Cities. “We can’t tell them apart either.”

Know Your Audience
• President Reagan made a joke to an inside group
about bombing Russia, but his statement was
broadcast internationally.
• Talking about Geraldine Ferraro, Vice President
George Bush bragged that “We tried to kick a little
ass last night.” It made the wire services.
Even when microphones have been turned off,
reporters in the room might overhear sub-rosa or
joking comments and report them to wide
audiences.

DEMOCRATS VS. REPUBLICANS: An
Example of Stereotyping
• Democrats buy most of the books that have been
banned somewhere.
• Republicans form censorship committees and read
them as a group.
• Democrats name their children after popular sports
figures, politicians, and entertainers.
• Republican children are named after their parents or
grandparents, according to where the money is.
49. 49
• Republicans tend to keep their shades drawn,
although there is seldom any reason why they
should.
• Democrats ought to, but don’t.
• Republican boys date Democratic girls. They plan
to marry Republican girls, but feel they’re entitled to
a little fun first.
• Republicans sleep in twin beds—some even in
separate rooms.
• That is why there are more Democrats.

The Evolution of Political
Correctness
• In the early 1990s, Richard Zoglin wrote in
Time magazine that political correctness
started out as the province of a small band of
liberal reformers.
• But it has now become an establishment
orthodoxy. So…
• “It is now p.c. to make fun of p.c.”
52. 52
A Historical Example of the Power of
Political Humor
• During the 1930s prior to WW II, many Americans were
isolationists, and were strongly against any hints of anti-
Nazi sentiments.
• On January 19, 1940, almost two years before the
bombing of Pearl Harbor and nine months before Charlie
Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, the Three Stooges released
a movie entitled You Nazi Spy.
• Because it was considered “just slapstick comedy”
critics and politicians paid little attention to it, but it
strongly influenced many Americans to rethink their
isolationist attitudes.
53. A More Recent Example of Using Humor
to Make a Serious Point
George Carlin did a “comic” analysis of the changes in
the words used to talk about soldiers suffering from
their experiences.
•Shell Shock—two syllables from WWI “Simple, honest,
direct language.”
•Battle Fatigue—four syllables from WWII “And
‘fatigue’ is a nicer word than ‘shock’.”
•Operational Exhaustion—eight syllables from the
Korean War “the humanity has been squeezed out; it’s
now totally sterile.”
53
54. The Language of War Continued
• Traumatic Stress-Disorder—still eight
syllables, plus a hyphen from the
Vietnam War. The pain is now buried
under the jargon.

68. In Conclusion, A Story
A man named Donald bought a horse from a farmer for $250. The farmer
agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day, the farmer drove
to Donald’s house and said, “Sorry, Donald, but I have some bad news.
The horse died.”
Donald replied, “Well, then just give me back my money.”
“I can’t do that,” said the farmer, “I already spent it.”
“OK, then just bring me the dead horse,” said Donald.
“What are you going to do with him?” asked the farmer.
Donald said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
68
69. “You can’t raffle off a dead horse!” exclaimed the farmer.
“Sure I can!” Said Donald. “I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later, the farmer met up with Donald and asked him, “What
happened with the dead horse?”
“I raffled him off,” said Donald. “I sold 500 tickets at $5.00 each and
made a profit of $2,495.00.”
“Didn’t anyone complain?” the farmer asked.
“Just the guy who won,” said Donald. “So I gave him back his $5.00.”
Donald used the rest of his earnings to help pay for his move into the
White House.
