R.J. Rushdoony was asking this question in the 1980s and 90s, before we had anything like “transgender” to contend with–to say nothing of “world is gonna end!” climate change, or a “Green New Deal.”

This essay can be found in a collection, Our Threatened Freedom, published in 2015 and featuring some nooze gems that will tax your power to believe it. Like the four or five full-time agents assigned to bust a little boy who was selling fishing worms without a license. I helped edit the book, and wrote the cover blurb, so I take an interest in it.
Meanwhile, I think the answer to Rushdoony’s question is, “You bet we are–and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”
How refreshing to hear Rushdoony again – makes me want to get out my shoe boxes full of his cassette tapes and listen to them all over again. I would be very interested in how Rushdoony would frame today’s current slide into debauchery and degradation. On the other hand, I am glad he is in heaven with Jesus having finished his course here on earth.
RJR missed the whole transgender thing… But I doubt it would have surprised him.
It’s only gotten worse. There’s a lot of insanity, these days. I’ve personally observed people leave behind rationality over a period of time.
With regard to the ants–I am giving it a few more days, then might have to get a pro.
