"public anger...is evidence that the European instinct for survival has not been fully extinguished."Perhaps. But not much.
There's more evidence that Europeans lack the will to survive. And this is not lost on their enemies (whom they also lack the will to recognize).
"But that survival instinct is threatened by the multiculturalism and political correctness advocated in media and academe..."...and, in America, also by Hollywood, the Democrat Propaganda Machine (also known as the "Mainstream Newsmedia"), the Democrat Party, and the Left in general.
This is pure DECADENCE. Nothing else. It is a disease that has infected Europe and the Leftist enclaves of America like The Black Plague and, unless cured, will prove far more destructive. The Black Plague merely devastated Europe. This Plague of Decadence will destroy Europe--and America also if the Left should succeed.
None of this is lost on the enemies of Western Civilization--notably Islamic fanatics.
It is also not lost on the worldly-wise Chinese.
The question is whether or not Europeans will wake up in time to save themselves.
"The threat of the radical Islamists taking over Europe is every bit as great to the United States as was the threat of the Nazis taking over Europe in the 1940s."Every bit as great and quite similar.
"we have thought ourselves into a position of near impotence."Exactly.
The Left--the Democrat Party--must not be allowed to succeed in America. The fate of Western Civilization and of the world depends upon its defeat.
The American Heartland is the last, great, powerful, still ascendant bastion of Western Civilization in the world today. It must prevail. The fate of the world depends upon it.
They way things are going, I'm reminded of the state of the Roman Empire not long before it was invaded and overwhelmed by the barbarians. They'd sunk into immorality, corruption, and decadence big time. There is still a large core of Americans that despise all this stuff, but sadly, they aren't the ones running Hollywood and the media, and I don't see a lot of them occupying offices across the Potomac. I wish they were.
Amen!
