These wide-ranging essays- on many individual political, economic,
cultural and legal issues- have as a recurring, underlying theme
the decline of the values and institutions that have sustained and
advanced American society for more than two centuries. This decline
has been more than an erosion. It has, in many cases, been a
deliberate dismantling of American values and institutions by
people convinced that their superior wisdom and virtue must
over-ride both the traditions of the country and the will of the
people. Whether these essays (originally published as syndicated
newspaper columns) are individually about financial bailouts,
illegal immigrants, gay marriage, national security, or the Duke
University rape case, the underlying concern is about what these
very different kinds of things say about the general direction of
American society. This larger and longer-lasting question is
whether the particular issues discussed reflect a degeneration or
dismantling of the America that we once knew and expected to pass
on to our children and grandchildren. There are people determined
that this country's values, history, laws, traditions and role in
the world are fundamentally wrong and must be changed. Such people
will not stop dismantling America unless they get stopped- and the
next election may be the last time to stop them, before they take
the country beyond the point of no return.
