Popular myths — Lenin called them “useful fictions” — are found across the ideological spectrum, but nowhere are they more prevalent than at the extremes of left and right. For example, many on the far right once insisted that President Eisenhower was a tool of the international communist conspiracy, as claimed by Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society. That inspired the great line from Russell Kirk that “Eisenhower isn’t a communist, he’s a golfer.” |
