In that sense the survival of the United States is threatened only by those who rule the United States. The New Imperium cannot cope with spontaneous civic activism or civic independence. It demands docile and pliant subjects rather than responsible citizens capable of moral distinctions. It can be resisted from within only if we return to the notion of America as a real, completed nation, a state with definable national interests as the foundation of its diplomacy. Otherwise it will be surely defeated - not by the strength of its adversaries, but by the utter nothingness in its core.
Some wars have to be fought.
Fighting one to prevent the likes of Professor Truxillo from carrying out their designs is right and proper. If and when this simple truth is accepted in Washington we'll know that not all is lost.
