The post-modern West by contrast, holds there is nothing worth living for and dying for and is the first civilization in history that has elected to arrange its own extinction. Call it autocide.

Kind'a like cop-assisted suicide on a grand scale... only replace the cop with a bloodthirsty, fanatical fazool. There are many similarities to Rome's fall... and I'm sure, many more that we just have no knowledge of... but it's the closest scenario I can come up with.

In the past, 230 years, we've had strong, courageous men appear in desperate times to pull our chestnuts from the fire. Could it be with our stylish, new criteria of politically-correct selection... we have made it impossible for these men to ever again play their role in the American story?

You have a point. Speaking the truth is simply not considered to be politically savvy in our current culture. You know, the truth might actually (GASP!) offend someone.

Another reason why it's unlikely that you'll ever have to worry about seeing me in political office.
