Losing Confidence in the Pillars of Our Civilization

Conservatives now have lost their former traditional confidence in many of the pillars of our civilization. And with good reason.

By Victor Davis Hanson

Millions of citizens long ago concluded that professional sports, academia, and entertainment were no longer disinterested institutions, but far Left and deliberately hostile to Middle America.

Yet American conservatives still adamantly supported the nation’s traditional investigatory, intelligence, and military agencies—especially when they came under budgetary or cultural attacks.

Not so much anymore.

For the first time in memory, conservatives now connect the FBI hierarchy with bureaucratic bloat, political bias, and even illegality.

In the last five years, the FBI was mostly in the news for the checkered careers of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller, Lisa Page, and Peter Strzok. Add in the criminality of convicted FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.

The colossal FBI-driven “Russian collusion” hoax was marked by leaking of confidential FBI memos, forged documents, improper surveillance, and serial disinformation.

Prior heads of the CIA and FBI, as well as the director of national intelligence, have at times either not told the truth under oath or claimed amnesia—without legal repercussions.

Even the Salvation Army has collapsed into the woke abyss... Not something I thought I'd ever see.

Very little of what I grew up with that defined America still stands and the collapse is only accelerating.

What cannot continue will not continue. We cannot be far from the end of the line.

I agree,  However, hold on to your beliefs, hold the Constitution dear, hold on to what you know to be true and make sure that you are prepared as much as you possibly can.

Two core Premises:
* Natural Law, uncovered by logic and reason, involves the Moral Order derived from Human Nature.
* Principled Conservatism is a core of enduring nostrums involving Man's attitudes, behaviors,
   impulses and sentiments completely divorced and independent of economics, politics and religion.

All the LEFTS and N.T.S running into the abyss.....Although, I don't see much of a difference between the two.
