  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

  • Part V Jfk- Media Image and Legacy
    PART V JFK- MEDIA IMAGE AND LEGACY 242 Chapter 20 Kennedy’s Loyal Opposition: National Review and the Development of a Conservative Alternative, January- August 1961 Laura Jane Gifford The March 25, 1961, National Review related the contents of a recent subscriber letter in a back-cover subscription appeal. This man, “usually understood to be a liberal” and well-placed in New York Democratic circles, wrote the magazine and explained: Of course I am not in agreement with most of your criticism of President Kennedy; nor do I believe you will get far in your obvious editorial support of Senator Barry Goldwater, but renew my subscription, for I can no longer get along without National Review. I find that National Review is a whiskey I must sample once a week. From every other journalist I get a sensation of either soda pop (and who does not finally gag on effervescent, treacly sugar water), or from the intellectual journals of my own persuasion I now get no more than strained vegetable juices unfermented. So I am now a tippler. Eight dollars enclosed. The advertisement’s writer went on to speculate that perhaps National Review’s rarified appeal stemmed from its very lack of broadmindedness; rather, “it is a magazine of fact and opinion, of discourse and criticism, on the central questions of our age,” questions identified as dealing with how to meet the Communist challenge, “resuscitate the spirit in an age of horror,” guard one’s mind against uniformity in the age of mass appeal, and resist collectivism, preserve freedom and teach love of country, respect for past wisdom and responsibility to the future.

  • Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 Professor of English Emeritus
    Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 Professor of English Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Jane Carroll July 15, 1997 July 18, 1997 DOH-11 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Jeffrey Hart Interview INTERVIEW: Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 INTERVIEWED BY: Jane Carroll PLACE: Baker Library Hanover, New Hampshire DATE: July 15, 1997 CARROLL: Today is July 15, 1997, and I am speaking with Jeffrey Hart, Class of ʻ51 and Professor of English, Emeritus. I am curious how you came to choose Dartmouth as the institution for undergraduate learning. HART: It was chosen for me. My father went to Dartmouth, Class of 1921 [Clifford F. Brown ʻ21]. Then he went to Columbia School of Architecture and got his Bachelor of Architecture there; but he was extremely loyal to Dartmouth and I felt that his four years at Dartmouth were probably the happiest of his life. He always seemed to be seriously connected with Dartmouth and I was, as a matter of fact, registered or enrolled in the Class of whatever, enrolled at Dartmouth when I was born. So I grew up understanding that I would go to Dartmouth. However there was a bump in that road since I got heavily involved with junior competitive tennis and felt that I probably would like to go to Stanford. His position was that I could go to Stanford. That would be fine, but he wouldnʼt pay for it. [Laughter] I could go to Dartmouth or I could go to Harvard if I got a scholarship. I did get some kind of tuition break at Dartmouth and that was the best deal, and I was perfectly happy to go to Dartmouth.

  • Buying a Movement: Right-Wing Foundations and American Politics
    BUYING A MOVEMENT Right-Wing Foundations and American Politics Executive Summary Each year, conservative foundations pour millions of dollars into a broad range of conservative political organizations. These foundation gifts are remarkable for two principal reasons: first, their sheer size and concentration; second, the willingness of the foundations to promote a highly politicized agenda by funding a broad range of organizations. The following report examines the funding patterns of a number of significant conservative foundations and their grantees. The report demonstrates: • Right-wing foundations have developed a truly comprehensive funding strategy, providing grants to a broad range of groups, each promoting right-wing positions to their specific audiences. The grants have created and nurtured an enormous range of organizations all bent on promoting a far-right-wing agenda. Recipients of foundation largesse include the right-wing media; national “think tanks” and advocacy groups; a budding network of regional and state-based think tanks; conservative university programs; conservative college newspapers; conservative scholars and more. In many of these funding areas, progressive and mainstream foundation giving lags far behind. • Five foundations stand out from the rest: the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Koch Family foundations, the John M. Olin Foundation, the Scaife Family foundations and the Adolph Coors Foundation. Each has helped fund a range of far- right programs, including some of the most politically charged work of the last several years. For example, the American Spectator magazine, which led the charge on President Bill Clinton’s state trooper contretemps and launched a slash-and-burn strategy targeting Anita Hill, is a prime recipient of foundation support.

  • A Political Perspective on the Theory of the Unitary Executive
    A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE THEORY OF THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE Mark Tushnet* This Essay offers a brief and highly speculative political, intellec- tual, and legal history of the theory of the unitary executive in the late twentieth century.1 I suggest that that theory developed in three stages, which I label the weak, the strong, and the super-strong versions, and confronted one alternative that superficially resembled the the- ory of the unitary executive but that actually served quite different political, intellectual, and legal purposes. Further, I suggest that the second stage followed the first, and the third the second; the weak version was articulated on the arrival of the Reagan administration in 1981, the strong version during the late Reagan and Bush I admini- strations, and the super-strong version during the Bush II administra- tion.2 And, finally, as those temporal linkages suggest, I will argue that each version of the theory and its alternative fit into the political agendas of these four administrations and were thought to be solu- tions to specific problems each administration faced. A preliminary note on what I mean by a “theory” of the unitary executive: my argument is, in part, that such a theory emerged out of the political setting the Reagan administration faced.3 This is not to say, of course, that arguments for the proposition that the President has important and indivisible powers were not made before then, nor that there were no earlier cases and practices supporting that propo- sition. Indeed, a theory, in the sense I use the term, would be sense- less absent such cases and practices.

  • The Messianic Executive in American Conservative Political Thought
    The Messianic Executive in American Conservative Political Thought Ken I. Kersch* Tocqueville Lecture Series, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana March 26, 2021 “And the war came.” Epigraph - Harry V. Jaffa, A New Birth of Freedom (2000) Introduction One of the major veins of contemporary regime-based scholarship on the American presidency posits a disjuncture between the traditional presidency and its modern variant, and argues that the newer incarnation of the office, dating from the progressive era (or, alternatively, FDR), is defined by radically augmented demands and expectations for programmatic leadership, both generally and vis-a-vis the U.S. Congress. While models of the disjunctive modern presidency have issued from scholars across the political spectrum -- with Theodore Lowi (1985) and Sid Milkis (1993) (roughly) on the liberal-Left, Jeffrey Tulis (1987) on the center-Right, and John Marini, Ken Masugi, R.J. Pestritto, and others on the far Right -- the Right-wing regime version has becoming increasingly elaborated and influential amongst conservatives, where it has underwritten both a frontal assault on progressivism more generally (spearheaded by assaults against progressive presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson) and, in turn, amongst most of the same people, a fervent support for President Donald Trump.1 Amongst the characterizations of the legacy of the modern “progressive” presidency is “Caesarism.”2 Recent political developments have thrown into high relief the Right’s current penchant for the strenuous denunciation of the Caesarist/authoritarian/totalitarian Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt while simultaneously voicing strident, unrepentant support for Donald Trump, whose lawless * Professor of Political Science, Boston College.
