The writer is not on the Washington Post editorial staff. You may not ever have heard of Sharansky, but he was a very important dissident who suffered a lot including time in the GULAG for fighting against the Soviet Union; he was possibly as important as Solzhenitsyn. Here is some information about him.

Published by WaPo but written by Natan Sharansky, a human rights activist and former political prisoner in the Soviet Union, and chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel.

It is a rare bit of dabbling on the other side of politics for WaPo in my opinion. Clearly, the political officer on the boat was asleep when this leaked out.

In America forgetting America, he concludes it is a loss of moral-confidence. To me that confidence was supplanted by a never-ending and relentless assault by the left on virtually every traditional moral value this country has kept since its inception.

Little by little, these values have been assaulted and diminished to the point we are constantly left with fending off reprisals from all manner of “victims” in our own country. We are reduced to trying to forestall the evil aims of even our own President.

How can this not spill over into a national and diplomatic will when it comes to dealing with real evil in this world.
