Our Summer of Cultural Suicide

But viewers do seek out theaters for more lectures from beautiful multimillionaires on their racist, sexist, homophobic country.

Professional sports, universities and the motion picture industry all know that what they are doing is bad for business. But they still believe they are rich and powerful, and thus invulnerable. They also are ignorant of history and cannot be persuaded that they are destroying themselves.

At this late date, all that matters is that the country itself learns from these suicidal examples and heals itself. If the U.S. is not to become an extinct Easter Island, it must rediscover a respect for its past, honor for the dead who gave us so much, the desire to invest rather than spend, and a need for some sense of transcendence.

If we do not believe that what we do today has consequences for our children after we are gone, there are ancient existential forces in the world that will intervene.

And it won’t be nice.

It's pretty much over. Conservatives need to get behind a movement to give away half of California to Mexico, or form their own state. Then we might have a chance at winning a 'tactical retreat';

The only other hope I have is China someday crushing the BLM movement - China won't tolerate their culture.

Just a few thoughts ...

PJ Media is wrong. They like living in their own filth

The only other hope is a massive re-awaking to a Christian revival based in Western Traditions - save that, I don't see anything but conflict ahead.

I personally will endure and survive to the best of my ability ...c

Yes, I think faith in God can revive the United States.

Notice how often President Trump thanks God for what we have?

Notice how often President Trump asks God for his blessings?

“...I don’t see anything but conflict ahead.

Yup; me, too.

To anyone paying the least bit of attention, the title alone says it all.

Socrates, Cicero, VDH . . .
