-- The leftists in government are handing our country to the invaders. --

James Burnham did what I think is a well-done and insightful essay in 1964.

Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism

Just from memory, Burnham's thesis is that abandonment of moral and cultural absolutes is the root cause of death of civilizations. Liberals reject moral absolutes as well as cultural norms, and the result is inevitable.

He also agrues that a civilization that fails to hold itself as superior to other civilizations, will die.

Seeing as how liberals are doing all this on purpose, it follows that liberals intend to commit civilization suicide. None of this is accident, they WANT to destroy Western Civ. Suicide is a purposeful action, not an accident.

Most of the institutions in Western Civ are deeply infested. I think the rot is so deep as to render the civilization unsalvagable - and I also view the institutions as a threat and a danger. Not to be repsected, but to be fought tooth and nail.

Education, law, courts, congress, churches for the most part. We're in a tough spot. Need a few leaders to spark resistance.
