As I said in Part I, this election -- more than most because of
unusually clear contrasts -- will test the the American ethos, the
narrative, the vision that tells us who we are. For those of us who, contrary to a century of Marxist/progressive indoctrination, have managed somehow to maintain a reverence of founding principles, this is a make-or-break affair. Many will say that ideas of the American Founders were but temporal signs of time and place and that we have evolved and matured in matters social, political and economic. We have put away old ideologies. And they may be correct in their assessment.Tuesday, June 26, 2012

2012: Testing the American Narrative (Part I)
Read more!
Who are we and what were we as Americans? Today, there are competing narratives. Two, though divergent, are organic, in that they grew out of the American Revolution and the founding principles. A more recent narrative that emerged out of European Marxist philosophy is being grafted onto one of the native strains.
