Rubbish! Mr. Smith was clearly not in Washington on 9/12.
Granted, our beloved country is in desperate straits, but the death of American individualism and exceptionalism is greatly exaggerated. Nor is it at all clear that blood will not be shed before this cultural war is over. While it is fervently to be wished that we will overcome the threat of tyranny without civil war, Americans in vast number will, if forced, choose war over subservience.

I pray that would be so, but one only has to glance
around at the vast numbers in their 20’s, 30’s and
40’s and their self-centered and relatively easy
lives so far, bereft of any historical perspective
or interest, and there’s a lot of room for wondering
if they wouldn’t just flock to the govt trough.
