No Success Can Compensate...

Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

Plus, a million bucks for the Almighty Democratic Party could mean a million more deaths of children via abortion or poverty or shrinking availability of health care or terrorism, etc.

Yup, and beyond this, it really represents, for all intents, the effective end of the Constitution, the Declaration, Federalism, or in fine, the entire classical liberal project of the last two centuries.

What we essentially have now, in various forms and manifestations, is the Frankfurt School in power throughout the federal government and the major institutions of society. The typical "low information" voter's head is filled with its slogans, catchphrases, and nostrums, but has no idea where it really comes from or what its philosophical pedigree is.

The heads of the Ruling Class are filled with its hubris and mad dreams of unlimited, centralized, unaccountable power. The degree to which the Left has, for all intents, at least as goes the major governmental, educational, intellectual, and legal institutions of society, won the culture war, is quite alarming. It appears, for the present at least, to be pretty much over and done with. The question remains, however, just how long leftist rule and policy is sustainable, without provoking either a precipitous collapse of the entire edifice (with all that implies), or the dawning of a new dark age.

Once America is gone, there will be nowhere left to go. That's it. May as well just stay in Cuba with Elian, tough it out, and hope for a few candy bars when Sean Penn and Ed Asner come by to yuck it up with your jailers.
