Glenn Knoblock: Moral decay of the right

Well, it seems I’ve drawn the ire of the Sun’s curmudgeon-in-chief. William Marvel’s strongly written but weakly reasoned attack on my character and the beliefs of someone on the so-called “left” is just about what I would expect from a conservative in 2020 who can’t make a reasoned argument on the facts.

Just as his knowledge of the Philadelphia police force and its troubled history is spotty so, too, are his comments about my writing career. I’m unclear what he’s specifically denigrating — my popular works with Arcadia, or my work with Harvard/Oxford University Press? Either way, his attitude smacks of Trumpian arrogance. And therein lies the heart of the matter … his and Tom McLaughlin’s political writings are indicative of the total moral and logic decay of nearly all the leaders and spokespersons, at all levels, federal, state and local, of the modern conservative movement and the Republican Party.
