The Law Is Dying because Morality Is Dying

I’m planning for our side to be victorious.

Don’t start waving the white surrender flags already. It’s demoralizing and it energizes the enemy.

I have just begun to fight! - Patrick Henry

You’re right! Thanks.

For the Left, it has really been a assault on the Judaeo-Christian heritage that has shaped the anti-totalitarian morality of the West.
