J.B. Shurk – Victor Davis Hanson and Dennis Prager are keen observers of American society. Like honored physicians who examine the body politic for disease, they expertly diagnose what ails our country. What they say and write matters. It is significant, then, when both reach the conclusion that the United States is disintegrating.
In an essay entitled “American Paralysis and Decline,” Hanson begins by quoting Roman historian Livy: “We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies.” He then walks us through America’s open border crisis, unsustainable debt, epidemic of crime, and weaponization of the criminal justice system.
