“Really? What European-based culture would that be? Our European-based culture is a far cry from what d’Tocqueville observed in the mid-19th century. It is closer to that of Weimar Germany. A culture that is so self-centered that it can’t even bother to perpetuate itself won’t have its freedom for long.”

Exactly. And when it dies, so dies freedom.

You make it sound like our "European-based culture" was killed. It wasn't. It committed suicide.

Freedom is not a product of European-based culture. European-based cultures gave us Communism, Secularism, Atheism, Fascism, and Nazism. Rather, freedom is a product of Christianity. If you want freedom back, 19th century European nihilism must be crushed and true Christianity embraced by the people.

And for the record, Christianity is not a European-based culture. It is a open to anyone and everyone.
