Over the course of recent decades our country has endured an assault on its institutions, its traditions, and its good and decent people. This relentless assault has driven the country into a grave crisis, causing it to pass through a great gate of history. This crisis will be momentous, consequential, and we will be profoundly changed by it.
Our nation has experienced similar existential crises before in the American Revolution, the Civil War and the Great Depression/World War II. Each of these crucibles brought about wide-ranging transformations. As events have accelerated in the past several years, there appears to be little doubt the nation has entered another such crisis.
Why do we term this the seventh crisis? In their 1997 book, The Fourth Turning, demographers William Strauss and Neil Howe viewed history through a generational lens. Their compelling account organizes Anglo-American history into seven repeating cycles starting in the fifteenth century.

Interesting. From the article:
“Ordered Liberty is the primacy of the Individual over the Collective and the embrace of values including Capitalism, Judeo-Christian Morality, decentralized as opposed to centralized power, a democratic republic under constitutional law rather than a majoritarian democracy at the mercy of mob rule. All these elements work together to create a society constituted on a national rather than an international basis that protects its own history, its own ethical and religious values, its own myths, its own heroes, its own holidays and its own national heritage.”
From what I have seen, it is way too late for that.
Youngsters have been taught to hate such thoughts and MOST do.
If we are waiting on them to have a righteous awakening, we are doomed.
I wait to be pleasantly surprised.
Peruse later.
