The Fathers of our country foresaw a future full of promise in a land where people could live, work and pursue their cultural way of life free from oppression of any kind, so the Fathers established a brilliant system of gov - ernment guaranteeing rights to all, regardless of race, color or creed. We now find ourselves living in a more tolerant and just society because of their vision, which established the greatest democracy the world has ever known. As Americans of Greek heritage, we feel an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction, precisely because democ - racy was born in Greece centuries ago, and also because those democratic ideals are still guiding principles for Western Civilization today. The free world, for which America continues to be the great beacon of light, remains indebted to Greece not only for Greek genius, but also for Greek valor. The blood of our ancestors – which they spilled while liberating themselves from Ottoman tyranny in 1821, and which they shed time and time again to advance the cause of freedom in the First and Second World Wars – has helped water the rich soil of freedom far beyond the borders of Greece, and their sacrifice spans the spectrum of time. So as we celebrate Independence Day this year, let us be mindful of our forbears and their genius – and their sacrifice on the field of battle – and let us also pray for the safety and wellbeing of American troops, who keep us safe from terror and guard our precious freedoms with their vigilant courage, and all too often with their very lives. The Rangos family wishes every American, along with the National Herald, a Happy 4th of July.

  • 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.

    2008-05-12-ODL Robert Odle Interview Transcription Page 1 of 45 May 12, 2008 Timothy Naftali Hi, my name is Tim Naftali. I'm director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California. It's May 12, 2008, and I have the honor and privilege to be interviewing Rob Odle for the Nixon Oral History Program. Meghan Lee will be joining me in asking questions in the course of this interview. Rob, thank you for doing this. Rob Odle Thank you, Tim. I'm looking forward to it. Timothy Naftali Well, let's talk about how you became interested in politics. Let's talk a little bit about Young Americans for Freedom in the 1960s. Rob Odle Well, I grew up in Port Huron, Michigan, and went off to undergraduate school at Wayne State University in Detroit, and that was kind of a hotbed, if you will, of liberalism in the 1960s. And, you know, it had the influence of the Students for a Democratic Society, and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and things like that. And so I was more attracted to the Republican club there, and later Young Americans for Freedom, and at one time or another, I headed both organizations on the Wayne campus. And it was -- those were difficult, those were difficult times, the late '60s. President Nixon said in his inaugural speech a year or so later that we cannot really learn from each other until we stop shouting at each other, and my greatest recollection of those days on that campus were that, sadly, everybody was shouting at each other.
