Today the men and women who walk the morally decrepit corridors of the White House and State Department of our Republic-turned-social democracy are aiding, abetting and enabling evil.
We find ourselves at a time in history when all of our foes from Islamic supremacists to the Russians and Chinese are ascendant, while America at best retreats and at worst sides with the most dangerous of them.
Our enemies do not fear or respect us, our allies do not trust us and little indicates that the American people are cognizant of the size and scope of the perils that face us.
We are reliving Winston Churchill’s gathering storm in an era when it is questionable whether the majority of American citizens even know who Churchill is, let alone what he did. Many of those who do likely see him first and foremost as a dead white European male.
And unlike in World War II, today we are challenged by Nazis (insofar as Islamic supremacists are genocidal, Jew (and Christian) hating monsters who seek to dominate the world) and Communists (in their Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping-led manifestations.)
In the face of all this, America’s left exhibits two traits that together are fatal: hubris and ignorance.
Leftists have the hubris to believe that they can and should create a world according to their progressive vision – for the good of the people and their own aggrandizement.
Leftists have the ignorance of history and man’s nature that renders them unable to anticipate the dire consequences of their course.
Underlying their actions is the belief that all people are animated by the same goals and aspirations.
Yet different peoples are different. Evil cannot be appeased or assuaged. The world must be seen as it is, not as we wish it to be.

One of the VERY best articles I’ve EVER seen.
Bravo!
“...little indicates that the American people are cognizant of the size and scope of the perils that face us.”
Nails our fatal problem on the HEAD.
I think the 2014 midterm elections showed that most people are aware of what’s happening. The problem is that the people we elected are not listening to us. They are not facing the problems.
You are correct. We were far tougher as a nation, in 1940, than we are today.
It is our own success that has been used against us.
“We are reliving Winston Churchill’s gathering storm in an era when it is questionable whether the majority of American citizens even know who Churchill is, let alone what he did. Many of those who do likely see him first and foremost as a dead white European male. “....
We can thank the liberals who call themselves “professors” and “teachers” who for many years have been brain washing the youth of our nation to believe nothing of great importance (other than their liberal agendas) needs to be taught. History (real history) is not on their agenda.
They are terrified of the old media, and the ideology of the old media is that The United States of America *is* the problem.
Yes they are terrified of the media and also the GOP leadership is in love with big government as much as the Dems.
It's only a quibble, but most of them do not believe any such thing. They believe that (1) a large number of people vested in the status quo are wrong and evil, and (2) it is their bounden duty to crush those people, making way for (3) a brighter world in which they only coincidentally happen to be the principal beneficiaries and the ones in charge. They do not believe that we are like them, they're glad we're not because they get to do evil to us because of it.
