I just finished reading white trash which explains some of the roots of the current backlash. It's worth checking out -- form your own conclusions.

Realpolitik > Centuries of retarded idealism

>Thucydides and perhaps Machiavelli’s Principe are most closely related to me by the unconditional will not to gull oneself and to see reason in reality—not in “reason,” still less in “morality.” - Kneechuh
