just how disabled our “faculties of judgment and discernment” have become

By design. The left wants us to not be able to, and to actually shun, judging one course of action, behavior, or choice as being better than another.

Not quite true. Such a position would be value-neutral, which might have some actual value in teaching.

Their true position is invariably anti-American or anti-Western civ.

Kenya or Cuba or Sri Lanka or Iran are not portrayed as being equal to America, but rather as being inherently superior.

I'm generally not big on conspiracy, but as I look back on the cultural changes that this country has seen after WWII, I really am in awe. In 1945, we had the best military, best technology, we had the A-bomb, and we were the only major country not ravaged by the war. We were on top. Our only competition was the USSR, and they had been beaten up really badly. They just weren't at our level.

And all of a sudden, the US started diminishing the church, weakening our schools, coddling our under-achievers, embracing feminism, raising children the Dr Spock way, initiating a sexual revolution, and normalizing all kinds of anti-social behavior.

We are not the country we used to be. Militarily, we are still the tops. But in so many ways, we are a weakened, and broken nation. It's almost like their was a plan to bring us down from our position of awesome strength.
