The last sentence, which you quoted, is why I made the comment I did.

When I wrote my tagline almost 2 years ago, it referred to the parasitic relationship between the Marxists and the Islamists. It still does. Both are on the rise and learning to use each other well. And the anarchists love it.

Unfortunately, America now has the most ignorant electorate in history. Marxism reigns supreme at our universities. Leftism, in and of itself, has always been a problem with the university age group, but we used to be able to count on them to mature. Now there is no such hope. If 30 is the new 20-something, then we are looking at fighting this ideological battle for some time to come. Wheeler is more optimistic than I am.

"Want to know why America's culture is not -- not -- going down the drain, why our cultural values are going to start getting BETTER and not WORSE? You must read this excerpt from "The Curse of the Xers" ... "Over the coming years, young Millennials (or Generation Y as some insist on calling them) will be pouring out of their teens and into their twenties to seize control of popular culture away from Xers. Say goodbye and good riddance to crotch-grabbing it's-cool-to-be-a-smartass sleaze. Say hello to music you can actually listen to (i.e., that's actually music), TV shows you can let your kids watch, and baseball caps worn normally. Trust me on this. American culture has not disintegrated, we're not going to keep heading down into a bottomless cultural barrel. We're in the bottom of a generational cycle that our country has gone through before and will again. Our nightmare of degeneracy will soon be coming to an end. Just remind yourself, though, before the next spectacle of Xer cynical ridicule drives you apoplectic, of all the Xers risking their lives right now in Iraq and Afghanistan so that we have the luxury and freedom to get mad at what's wrong with our culture. Some day years from now, one of them may need to become another Patton or Eisenhower, and we'll be quite thankful Xers are who they are."
