Three distinct groups wish to destroy Western society, and they are not opposed to working together to do it.

How does one define “the West”? What makes the West, in general and more specifically the United States, unique and so amazing? Let’s list just a few things that come to mind:

*Freedom from government intrusion

*Freedom of personal and religious expression

*A right to own a firearm

*The opportunity to take risks and benefit from success via relatively low taxation

*Freedom of movement and assembly

Again, it’s challenging to define all the benefits we have as Americans. We can more or less do what we want—or do nothing—and the government should just leave us alone. We can express ourselves to the legal limit of free speech, and the government has no right to interfere with our free expression. When we go shopping, we typically have access to a wide range of high-quality goods at affordable prices. I have traveled around a wee bit, and there is no place to go shopping like in the US. When we visited a certain mall in Vegas, we often saw Asian tourists with suitcases walking around to the various stores. In other countries, you do not have the selection. If you have the price, then you don’t have the quality. In Israel, a Tommy Hilfiger shirt that costs around $40 at a discount mall in the US will run over $130. Shopping in Europe is prohibitive. Americans often don’t realize how fortunate they are. You can drive forever and see parks, lakes, mountains, and forests. You can take some risks and start a business. It might fail, but it might also become a success and a source of enormous wealth. Other Western countries have some similar features to those in the US, but most do not have the right to bear arms, and the governments are far more intrusive, as in England,........
