the indispensable state is now an asylum of decline that threatens
to drag the rest of America down with it.

Clip of the day:
Sen. Jeff Sessions takes exceptions to OMB director Jack Lew’s
claim that “Our budget will get us, over the next several years, to
the point where we can look the American people in the eye and say
we’re not adding to the debt anymore; we’re spending money that we
have each year, and then we can work on bringing down our national
debt.”
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause
and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress
impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist
surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our
culture.
The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it,
makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so
many people seem to be hostile to it?
