Is It Too Late?

"Liberalism moves, therefore, toward radical individualism and the corruption of standards that movement entails. By destroying traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness into individual constituents, by licensing the opinions of the most foolish, by substituting instruction for education, by encouraging cleverness rather than wisdom, the upstart rather than the qualified... Liberalism can prepare the way for that which is its own negation: the artificial, mechanized or brutalized control which is a desperate remedy for its chaos."Those near-prophetic words were written nearly three decades ago by the late great Robert Bork in his landmark book, "Slouching Towards Gomorrah."
He was right about everything.
And he would know. His name became a verb after then-Senator Joe Biden and his buddy Sen. Ted Kennedy made the conscious decision to politicize the judiciary to block Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court. Biden and Kennedy made a farce of the hearings, falsely accusing Bork of everything from wanting to ban birth control to wanting to force blacks to sit at separate lunch tables. Judicial hearings have never recovered from Biden's abuse of power and evil machinations — which have only gotten worse as he's gained more power.
Now, 27 years after the publication of Bork's book, we're being led by "the most foolish" (and demented) people in our nation. Public education has become a bastion of indoctrination, and Americans increasingly eschew wisdom in favor of the most clever TikTok video. Our political system seems to be irreparably broken, and the administrative state seeks to control every aspect of our lives — in many cases, the "brutalized control" Bork predicted.
