VDH is a college professor of History and a political commentator. Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at
the Hoover Institution at Stanford University; his focus is classics and military history. He has had a long career in education. He speaks and writes about history and current affairs, mostly from a principled conservative viewpoint that emphasizes that strong history of California and America in depending on freedom and market systems. He lives in Selma near Fresno and farms the family farm.
Today Jim Franklin on his KMJ Fresno radio show replayed a speech by VDH given at the Sunbird Conservative Conference on April 14, 2014 in Fresno. VDH talks about American exceptional-ism and the ways the liberal "collective" is destroying the American work ethic and conventional political structures. Link to come:
Because that speech is not yet available, here is a very similar speech that VDH gave at the Conservative Forum, Feb 5, 2014: VDH at Conservative Forum
I admire VDH a lot becasue he can express in simple terms many of the basic current problems facing the country and the conservative movement. In addition, VDH is uniquely relevant to the California Central Valley population because he grew up, lives and works here.
