The kind of citizen upon which America was built is the smallest most precious member, noble citizen core cell. In the 1960s America began to be dismantled, and we began to forget to defend our language, culture and Borders. We became a " compassionate" democracy that made everyone special, morally equivalent, even with those demanded rights strange appetites and lawless behaviors. Instead the poor and disadvantaged elevated to the noble values of citizenship, virtue came under assault and our people allowed themselves and their children to become demoralized and dumbed down. And so the rabble multiplied, and voted their Democratic representatives into government a democracy that almost became a dictatorship. In the year 2001 we have become a dangerously divided country.
