Afghanistan, inflation, defund the police, critical race theory, the border, gas prices, massive debt. And I’m not saying Republicans are perfect. But these people are crazy. And if they would stop acting crazy, they wouldn’t have a crisis, and then they wouldn’t need crisis managers.

Protecting our freedom starts at home. In particular, it starts with an uncomfortable reality. I recently came upon an observation by the eminent historian Bernard Lewis. He said, “The Roman Empire and the medieval Islamic Empire were not conquered by more civilized peoples. They were conquered by less civilized but more vigorous peoples.” In both cases what made the conquest possible was that things were going badly wrong within the society so that it was no longer able to offer effective resistance. Is he talking about Rome or America? Have things gotten so badly wrong in our society that we are unable to resist the forces of evil? For many Americans, the answer would be yes. A large portion of our people are plagued by self-doubt or even by hatred of America. It’s a pandemic much more damaging than any virus.
