After decades of Politically Correct attitudes, big-government fixes, culture wars and muddled foreign policy, the U.S. finds itself on the brink of what may become an historic decline from preeminence. In addition, recent trends and events such as globalism and the war on terror have created an environment for the U.S. which is increasingly more dangerous.

In the last half of the 20th century America forgot these important principles and allowed elements potentially dangerous to freedom and democracy to prevail.
