  • 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.

  • A Long Road to Nixon's Last Crisis
    A Long Road To Nixon's Last Crisis I had recognized from the time I be- came a member of the Committee on Un-American Activities, and particularly after my participation in the Hiss case, that it was essential for me to maintain a standard of conduct which would . not give my political opponents any solid grounds for attack . "Even when you are right they will give you a rough time," I have said. "When you happen to be wrong they will kill you." `—"Six Crises" e always knew what to say, but the H question was how closely he. lis- tened to himself. During his quarter-cen- tury in politics, Richard Nixon's actions often stood in jarring contradiction to his high-blown rhetoric. Reading "Six Crises," his ghost-written autobiography, in the light of .Watergate and his resig- nation points up the immense gulf be- tween his endless pieties and the harsh reality of his tragically flawed career. In all apparent sincerity, Nixon could preach law and order even as he and his aides were breaking the law. He could boast that his Cabinet was free of yes- men and then reduce the Cabinet to unprecedented impotence. In the midst of the Watergate cover-up, he could righteously declare: "What really hurts in matters of this sort is not the fact that they occur ... What really hurts is if you try to cover it up."

  • Why President Kennedy Was Assassinated the Politics of Dallas
    WHY PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED THE POLITICS OF DALLAS The critical issue facing the American people is whether this country shall go fascist, and the central event in this still-undetermined conflict is the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The Watergate disclosure period offered officials an opportunity to get to the bottom of domestic political assassination, but for whatever reasons, they decided to pass up that opportunity. In an intellectual discussion of the politics of domestic assassination, Mr. Dorland takes his listeners behind the scenes into the labyrinth of domestic power politics extending from the Bay of Pigs to the murder of John Kennedy to the Watergate break-in and its aftermath. Mr. Dorland brings together a vast amount of private and public information and applies his unique insights, personal knowledge, and experience to clarify events that have hitherto hopelessly confused the public. Among the fascinating subjects he handles are: * The Yankee-Cowboy theory of the U.S. power establishment * The Yankee-Cowboy fight as it developed in the early post W.W. II period * How the Cowboys snatched away Truman's anti-communism and redirected U.S. efforts to South America and Asia * This split carried over into the CIA and into McCartyism * The Cowboy political base: right-extremist politics and organized crime * Cowboy assassination operations in South America and the Caribbean Pre-Oswald "Oswalds" * Cuba and Vietnam: the reasons JFK was removed * The post- Dallas Vietnam escalation and the resumption of efforts to assassinate Castro and invade Cuba * The role of Richard Nixon in the original Bay of Pigs decision and the beginning of the Vietnam War * E.
