Seth Leibsohn: Cause for Concern as We Approach Our 250th

As we close in on our nation’s birthday, more and more data give us cause for great concern.
As Abraham Lincoln put it in his time, so too is it true today: “At what point is the approach of danger [to us] to be expected? [I]f it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
Look around at our civic health just now. Article IV of our Constitution guarantees us a republican form of government—but, in our major states and cities, we now see elected leaders and political candidates from one of our two major parties that embrace both national and democratic socialism, fascism and communism—we see a party fully embracing hatred of free enterprise as much as constitutionalism and Americanism.
And: It all comes with a large dose of antisemitism.
This must be pointed out—and reversed.
