I know many friends and family who are convinced that the policies of the Democratic Party are truly meant to guide the United States of America to a successful, prosperous and morally exceptional nation. And, frankly, there was a time when one could be persuaded by moral arguments to vote Democratic. Many dedicated Democratic voters still […]

Too Many Mass Shootings
In the United States we have experienced too many mass shootings. All of them are terrible because all of them involved the killing of innocent lives. But it is particularly unsettling when these shootings result in the deaths of young children. For most Americans the memories of these shootings begin with the Columbine school massacre […]

If we are in cultural decline, which I believe we are, it cannot be solely blamed on current events. Nor can it be blamed on one person, such as the President. The truth is that current events are the result of cultural decline, not its cause. The frantic pace of new technologies has only served to accelerate the […]
Cultural Decay
