Did America Lose the Culture War?

Has the great experiment run its course?

Patrick J. Buchanan
Aug 20, 2022

When 30 FBI agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago to cart off boxes of documents, it was an authorized, legitimate and justified procedure to retrieve national security secrets being illegally kept there. Or it was an unprecedented regime raid on the home and office of the foremost political rival of President Joe Biden that called to mind a "Third World country," the East German "Stasi," the KGB, or the Gestapo.

And Jan. 6, 2021? That was a riot, a disgraceful breach of the Capitol, involving assaults on Capitol cops that deserved to be and are being punished. No, it was more than that. Far more. It was an "insurrection," a "fascist coup," an act of treason led by far-right extremists to abort the transfer of power from the winner of the election of 2020 to the loser. It ranks right up there with the 1814 burning of the Capitol by the British.

It is about the preservation and maturity of the republic vs the adoption of socialism, it is not Trump vs Biden.

Mr. Buchanan asks:
"When, how, does America ever unite again? And what unites us, other than an external attack on the country, like Pearl Harbor or 9/11?  Where is the common ground on which to stand? Does such ground even exist, given the divisions in religion, race and ethnicity, and the seemingly irreconcilable disagreements over morality, ideology, culture and politics? Has the great experiment run its course?"

As a "nation of 50 states" -- yes, does look like the "American experiment" HAS "run its course", because what's left now is comprised of two opposing sides that will never reconcile.

There will be no "re-unification", except that which is forced by the left upon the traditional-minded "deplorables".

The only rational path forward for traditional-minded Americans of Western European Christian heritage is to separate themselves into a unified "heartland", apart from the east and west coasts, and begin again.

Of course, the left will never permit this without a struggle.

We've been through this once before. But perhaps it's destined to happen again.
The "indivisible nation" must once again be divided if the values of those on the right are to survive.

You know this in your heart.
Is it time to start speaking of it more openly?

Is it time yet for that "New Continental Congress"?
