I keep getting emails about the “end of America”. Philosophically, I am in full agreement that we have become something less than the responsible, virtuous human beings which the Liberal doctrine that informed the creation of our Republic anticipated. We are clearly degraded, having surrendered large parts of our freedom at regular intervals since at least the 1930’s. We fail to see this, since our schools teach our children there is no right and wrong, and virtue something war-mongers and hypocrites talk about. All our kids need to do, they are told, is never render an opinion that offends ANYONE, and that is all the virtue they need.
Clearly, these are real problems. At the same time, none of these disasters will happen in the next year or two. To some extent, I support the rhetoric, because to spur action you need to spur a sense of urgency. At the same time, we need to remain calm, and THINK.
Who DO we want to be? What is our goal? How do we overcome the complacency and incompetence of our formerly Mainstream Media?
This battle has been a long time coming, and will be a long time in winning. This is not a time for running around shooting our guns in the air. It is a time for planning, then patiently and consistently acting, and not stopping until we win, or can no longer move.
