One of the most enduring themes in American political discourse is
the idea of decline. Since the very beginnings of the European
settlement of North America there have been voices pointing to an
inevitable regression of the people from the standards set by
heroic ancestors. This discourse of decay has often taken the form
of the jeremiad in which public intellectuals, pundits, and
politicians point to the causes of decline and call for a return to
older and nobler standards of conduct. The Jeremiad has seen a
revival in the last 25 years. Jendrysik traces the history of this
form of political discourse from its modern reinvention by Allan
Bloom to its current uses by such figures as Bill O'Reilly and
Hillary Clinton.
