Uncommon Commentary #390: The Majority Fools
The
majority of respondents to a new public-opinion poll identified
"government" as the greatest threat facing the USA. Presumably this refers specifically to big
and overweening government rather to any government at all, but, even if so,
the people are wrong. Big and
overweening government certainly is harmful to the well-being of this land, but
the greatest threat is one that rarely
receives mention even as a minor issue: the abandonment of Christian standards
of morality, which endangers our entire civilization.
