And it just covers the last 20 years.
In other words, the revolution is not so much political as anarchist. Nothing escapes it—not ceiling fans, not natural gas cooktops, not parents at school board meetings, not Christian bakeries, not champion female swimmers, not dutiful policemen, not hard-working oil drillers, not privates and corporals in the armed forces, not teens applying on their merits to college, not anyone, anywhere, anytime.
The operating principle is either to allow or to engineer things to become so atrocious in everyday American life—the inability to afford food and fuel, the inability to walk safely in daylight in our major cities, the inability to afford to drive as one pleases, the inability to obtain or pay back a high interest loan—that the government can absorb the private sector and begin regimenting the masses along elite dictates. The more the people tire of the leftist agenda, the more its architects furiously seek to implement it, hoping that their institutional and cultural control can do what ballots cannot.

Until we say "enough!"
You can't begin at Year Zero without first getting to zero. It means literally what it says - first, destroy the existing civilization and start anew.
ReplyDeleteThis is why pretend conservatives who make so much of not being part of "the Culture War" are traitors.

Hence the Long March Through the Institutions.
In this they share common ground with the Islamists. But only in this. It would perhaps be ironic if, after destroying Western Civilization and embarked upon their ambitious project to reshape humanity, they are finally brought down by the jihadists. Of course none of us will survive to appreciate the irony.
I have had similar thoughts regarding the leftists and islamists, the deteriorating situation in europe appears to be the precursor to the fall of western civilization and the rise of the islamists.
