"Modern Liberalism and American Decline" written by Robert H. Bork.
Has anybody else read this?
While I don't agree with all of Mr. Bork's arguments or conclusions, I do believe that I am much closer to understanding the historical origins of how we (de)evolved to this sorry state.
Bork's insights into the workings of the Supreme Court, and their continued involvement in non Constitutional issues are alone worth the purchase price.
A quote from page 5:
"The defining characteristics of modern liberalism are radical egalitarianism (the equality of outcomes rather than of opportunties) and radical individualism (the drastic reduction of limits to personal gratification)."
Sound familiar? One paragraph that describes Democrat entitlement mentality and lack of presidential gland control.
