I agree with you that we are mortally ill, but I don’t think there is another nation on this planet to which we can escape. I prefer to do what Bill Whittle suggests: retreat to the countryside, connect with like-minded people, lead a more simple life, and preserve a knowledge of what was great about America. We can create an entire subculture of conservatives.

The monks of the Middle Ages laboriously wrote to each other, preserving classical scholarship and discussing their faith. Others preserved or advanced art and literature. They kept the knowledge of civilization alive so that when mankind was ready once again to be reborn, the structure was there; no one had to re-invent the wheel of civilization.

We must do the same. Even if America falls into a new Dark Age, we must pass on our knowledge to those who come after us. There were universities and artists and writers and travelers during the Dark Ages, and life went on. We can do the same. Someday another Renaissance may come, unless the Lord returns before then. Let us be ready in either case.

Great post. It’s a big country & there’s a lot of room in it to find a place away from a lot of this madness, but of course not all of it. I told my kids that they can do what they see fit in the future which is why I got this second passport & access for them to bug-out.
