Tupelo: "Victor Davis Hanson, a highly educated man, speaks volumes about a United States that can be condensed down to:

VDH is not as pessimistic as you suggest here.
Nor does he agree with your characterization of us as an "Empire".

Instead, VDH believes our citizens can begin to restore our Constitutional Republic in November.

I hope he's right on that.
