Ken Masugi once again shares with us this Advent. A taste:
What America has learned at its best is how to create a city for mortal men while recognizing their passing thorough this world. It does not offer a this-worldly heaven but simply a way to rule themselves, provide for families, a sense of self-achievement, and service to others. It is precisely these virtues that seem to be under fire within America itself. The government and its elites have a different agenda, that of worldly happiness itself as an alternative to living a responsible, disciplined life in this world, knowing that four score years are about right. It is not an accident that the point of controversy is most often over the nature of the family, over begetting, virtue, and standards of integrity.
