"The unnamable vision always leads to the unspeakable crime." -- AD Commenter Gloria
Daniel Henninger in a prophetic 2007 "Wonderland" column in The Wall Street Journal, Talking Ourselves Into Defeat , examined the pall of self-loathing that has settled over the American mind in the past decade. A self-loathing that has reached, for now, its apotheosis in those "Americans" that love the idea of an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero. For the most part, his estimate of the roots of this malaise is accurate, but one insight strikes me as wide of the mark:
"One reason the negative mood in politics is so disconcerting is that the opposition's alternative vision is nonexistent. On joining the opposition recently, GOP Sen. Norm Coleman announced, "I can't tell you what the path to success is.'"

Their vision cannot be named, but it can be worked for on a daily basis. And it is. Now more than ever. We currently still believe that votes can stop it. We shall see. But should votes not stop it or votes be rendered as dubious as those in the third world, it will go, as it always goes, to guns.
.... snip ....
This "vision" does not merely seek the defeat of America, but something much more essential to sustaining the rising tide of freedom across the globe. It seeks the defeat of the American ideal.

The endtime for illusions is nigh.
And reality is a stark raving bitch.
“And reality is a stark raving bitch.”
dat right!
This is a very well thought out and well written piece of hard “slap in the face” reality.
Stunning and accurate analysis...
“There are no armies in this realm, only legions of NGOs without borders. There are no Popes or Saints, only tje Gates’. the Obamas, the Clintons, the Gores, and those who can jet into the annual green cardinals convocation at Davos. The sweet. The elite. These are the non-elected, self-appointed and peer-selected Government of the Happy World who swap honors and awards as freely between themselves as participants in a Sexual Freedom League Fornication Festival.”
This is great! It certainly sums up the sorts who inhabit the elitist left well.
“The not-so-great-generation” is a better name for my generation than “baby boomers”.
bttt
Don't sell us out completely, We were lied to consistently by the olders before us. Vietnam where Johnson and that rat ba**ard McNamara did not fight to win. Social Security which Johnson dumped into the general federal fund to hide his budget deficits to name just two.
I do love my country, but am dam$$d sour on our government.
Nobody could save this nation from what the generations did from the 1910 to 1980, the boomers brought an end to the worst of what the previous generations did, but they could not undo the permanent damage, the 1965 immigration act guaranteed that.
