PIECES OF A NOT SO MEMORIAL...MEMORIAL DAY

On a day and holiday week-end  that is to memorialize our fallen soldiers,  Evil tries to take the front row.  What every soldier fights for, protecting our pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is spoiled throughout parts of our country this past week-end.



Which brings me to remember a book I read 15 years ago and in times like these, creeps back into my mind.  'Slouching Towards Gomorrah - Modern Liberalism and American Decline', by Judge Robert H. Bork.  Wikipedia states;

Bork's thesis in the book is that American and more generally Western culture is in a state of decline and that the cause of this decline is modern liberalism and the rise of the New Left. Specifically, he attacks modern liberalism for what he describes as its dual emphases on radical egalitarianism and radical individualism. The title of the book is a play on the last couplet of W. B. Yeats's poem "The Second Coming": "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, / Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" Bork contends that the "rough beast of decadence … now sends us slouching towards our new home, not Bethlehem but Gomorrah."

If the above-mentioned headlines are any indication we have slouched, slip-slided, and are now ankle deep in it.   The question then becomes, how do we extricate ourselves from it?  Bork's recipe would be to circumvent the Radicals from the 60's who were protesting 'THE MAN' then, but who are 'THE MEN' now.  Look around our institutions of Government, Education, The Judiciary, etc.  you find them lurking in those halls.  We must find a way to hand them their walking papers, and insert Conservative America in their places.
