Greetings!
Well, Trond, that article is spot on, my friend. Very tight and laser focused. I agree entirely. I find it so very sad that numerous well-educated and rational people, commentators, whether academics or laymen, often voice the same concerns and present the same analysis of the deep-rooted danger, and the intellectual and idealistic problems which got us to arrive where we are at, and yet, when such arguments and analysis are presented to more Liberal-minded people--such a presentation is met with deer-in-the-headlights looks, mushy, meaningless backpedaling and desperate blame-shifting--or hysterical "Reeing!" from enraged, brain-dead and shrieking Marxist zombies.
Some people occasionally talk about why we can't be rational, or why can't we reasonably discuss our differences and work on a workable solution? That seems increasingly impossible, because the Marxist-Left holds onto an nihilistic ideological view that permeates through every level of society that on every major social, economic, and political issue is deeply hostile, corrosive, and in opposition to the societal vision that everyone else has for the nation, the society, and the community. That being the case, there isn't any room or cause for "compromise". There isn't anything to meaningfully discuss.
That stark and harsh reality proceeds to narrow down our options.
Semper Fidelis,
SHARK
