Syndicated columnist Keith Raffel writes that echoes of our past are always entering our politics.
We all know history doesn't really repeat itself, but it sure does echo through the decades and centuries. Here are a few examples of today's policy debates echoing those of days gone by.
• In May of this year, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked President Biden's"Build Back Better" public works policy as socialism. South Carolina Sen. James Hammond expounded on the need for rule by a superior class"which leads progress, civilization and refinement" as contrasted to those belonging to an"inferior" race with no right to vote.
• The Declaration of Independence pronounced King George III of Great Britain to be"a Prince, whose character is marked by every act which may define a Tyrant." Maybe we should take more seriously what philosopher George Santayana said:"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
