Somber Fighting Words

Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure. He is a classicist who can read, speak and write Greek and Latin; a university professor; a military historian; a prolific author; a farmer; and a native Californian with many generations preceding him on the family farm.

Hanson has boundless knowledge of the state and its history, along with the rest of the world and its history. I am completely addicted to his podcasts and wish he published one each day. The knowledge, the wisdom, and the logic he imparts to his listeners--always in a calm, measured, and humble manner--is priceless and always leaves me wanting to hear more.

In addition to his many books, Hanson is a prolific writer of several articles each week. He publishes several thought-provoking articles each week on various platforms. His most recent piece, "The Remaking of America," on American Greatness, is especially sobering. It could be described as depressing. But it is so true, and such an eloquent summation of the carefully engineered collapse of our unique republic, that every American who is concerned for our children's future should read it.

The Remaking of America. We are living through it, and it's only the beginning of what the leftists hope to achieve. Hanson's article can be read as an incentive for concerned Americans. I hope we who understand the damage our country has suffered, and will continue to suffer, can find the strength to fight back. "Each according to their own station," as Hanson often quietly urges in his podcasts. Fight for the US, on our own ground and while we still can. We know it's worth it.
