Let’s rewind the tape to when this grease fire of […]

Robert David Steele asks me “Where’s US going culturally over the next 90 days to 4 years?” I explain that political liberalism—the doctrine that society should protect each individual’s private pursuit of happiness, without any shared vision of God or the good — is in crisis.
