Victor Davis Hanson says liberalism is imploding.
We could go on forever with illegal
immigration, the therapeutic university, or the media, but the message
is universally the same: we are coming to the theoretical limits of
liberal orthodoxy. Detroit is liberalism’s Nagasaki; California its
Greece — and the hated Scott Walker its Angela Merkel.
All the old shiny chrome is rusted and crumpled: Harvard? Knee-deep in the Elizabeth Warren scam. The Nobel Peace Prize?
Neither Al Gore nor Barack Obama had a record of bringing peace to
anyone. The postmodern EU and its vaunted euro? The mystery is how even
technocrats could design such a suicidal currency. The paper of record?
The New York Times has become a sort of shopper’s insert, its op-eds and news accounts synopses of yuppie and baby-boomer angst.
Like a super nova, contemporary liberalism is imploding through its own irreconcilable forces.
