Whomever is strong enough to impose their will. Society belongs to those of boldness of vision, not the meek who fret and plead. Liberals are winning the culture war because they are not afraid to be hypocrites.

What I want is a strongman who stands for the nation, not internationalism. I believe Rudy is such a figure. Western civilization is on its way out, at least in the utopian form imagined by the founding fathers--incidentally, a form they never practiced. The mistake of America is believing too strongly in our own founding myths--in equality and liberty. They started to be actively pursued in earnest in the 60s, and look how things have gone since then.

Societies are built on lies. They function when they treat them as lies, and totter when they treat them as truth.
