Leo, say it ain’t so!

Considering that many of the scholars that blog here are, to one degree or another, Straussians, I found this blog over at Spengler . . . well, informative.

Because I’ve not read Strauss and what I know of him I’ve picked up here, I was wondering if any of our learned PoMoCon bloggers or ‘commentors’  might care to respond? Pick up the gauntlet as it were. 

Spengler, it should be noted, is a brilliant gentleman and scholar and not in the habit of disparaging Jews.
