I should have taken up my cudgel as a writer in the 1960s when “anti-establishment” rebels of a Marxist bent staged huge riots––not in the 1980s when it was really too late to stem the tide of destructive subversion against America from the radical Left. The mainstream media was not only missing in action about this––they didn’t even report on the culture war that broke out against the attacks on America––but had joined the Left. Even the prestigious PBS took a sharp turn to the Left.

It wasn’t just a complicit media acting against America during the second half of the 20th century. It was a growing body of professionals with weak or missing moral sense that allowed “liberals” and “progressives” to lead the direction of America. By the 1990s, in spite of the culture war against the domestic enemies of this country, it was difficult to redirect the course of this country.

What authority did leftist “reformers” have to change America? I remember the rage of Sixties rebels against authority, which they aimed to abolish. The irony escaped them that it was the authority of their Marxist mentors and bosses that sent them rioting––an authority they would force upon the rest of us!

That is the authority of a gun pointing at you. It reminded me of the 1789 storming........
