After WWII, America effectively ruled the world. To understand how we lost that crown and how it evolved to leading from behind, look no further than the Bureaucratic-Marxist complex that dominates nearly every government function today, which in turn sets the tone for our citizenry.

Look no further than our fake institutionalized kindness, which has morphed into a right not to fail, as if that were even possible. You and I can be kind and caring. When a government does it, with other people’s money (OPM), it becomes something else: Institutionalized Caring, i.e., a faux, loving Big Brother. Every facet of local, State, and Federal government over two generations has adopted the false mantra of caring, yet in practice, it has done the opposite.
