Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
History has a sense of humor, and it’s rarely kind. As the United States barrels headlong into a Fourth Turning crisis—complete with generational rage, institutional distrust, ritualized protest, economic anxiety, and ideological self-harm—China isn’t protesting anything. It’s watching. Quietly. Patiently. With a spreadsheet.
If politics is downstream from culture, and it is, we have a lot to worry about. This is frankly because American culture has long been rotting like a 10-day-old avocado in the sun.
At its core, Babel was humanity’s declaration of independence from God. It was the arrogance of saying, “We don’t need Him. We’ll ascend on our own.”
Every empire faces a choice after its moment of reckoning. Rome fell not from the barbarians at the gates, but from decay within—corruption, luxury, and moral collapse. America now stands in the same valley of decision.
If Part 1 showed how moral relativism erodes dignity, Part 2 is about what happens when that erosion finally shows itself in blood.
I’ve been a Superman fan since I was old enough to fill up a diaper. I used to attend school wearing Superman pajamas beneath my civilian clothes, posing as a mild-mannered first-grader. My mother made me stop this in college.
I was always fascinated with Great Britain. How could a relatively small island nation achieve such an empire as it was? But the saying, “The sun never sets on the British Empire,” is no longer true. Not only has it set on the empire, but it is also setting on Britain itself.
When I was a young, men could not go in the girls’ locker room unless they were a janitor and all the girls had gone home from school. Now it is a right.
As America approaches its 250th birthday next July 4th, there will be fireworks, parades, and patriotic declarations of freedom. But while we’re busy celebrating, we ought to pause and ask: What kind of nation have we become?
The 1950s were a more congenial and safer time to be a kid than it is today. There was no Internet or social media to bully and insult us.
It’s a harsh sentiment to express, but some argue that USA Today mirrors characteristics reminiscent of a modern-day Babylon.
Once upon a time, I considered the average person to have a goodly dose of common sense. The longer I live, the lower my estimation of mankind becomes.
I am certainly no classical scholar, I leave that to men like Victor Davis Hansen whom I greatly admire. But I have read some of the ancients. And truth be known, they were prescient in their thoughts. And eternal in their wisdom. We simply haven’t, and don’t, pay attention. So the following offers a few …
The 2020 notion was that we “are in a battle for the soul of the nation.” So let me ask a few questions:
Just as North Korea is neither the people’s, nor democratic, nor a republic, Build Back Better is nothing that it claims to be. After two years we are witnessing the destruction wrought by Biden’s vision for America and it ain’t pretty.
Americans have lost their fight and their backbones, especially in urban areas where they have gone completely anti-American in thought, word and deed.
