Can we Win the "Long War?"

Stephen Green issues a quite good analysis on the topic in this piece.

He gives a well-constructed one-paragraph synopsis....

"If we’re going to win a long, ideological war, we need our primary schools to our children what patriotism is - and for the most part, they don’t. We need our college professors to give our best and brightest the intellectual ammunition to confront our destroyers – and for the most part, they don’t. We need our public thinkers to defend our laws and our way of life against foreign aggression – and for the most part, they don’t. We need our entertainers to choose the home team – and for the most part, they don’t. We need our politicians to show the backbone of Churchill, but for the most part, they don’t. And we need our military to understand, embrace, and put everything on the line for their country."

Chilling to consider, and unfortunately too true! We may just "politically correct" ourselves out of a country.......Our Own!
