Not so.* History teaches that societies have their economic, military, and moral "ups and downs" mega-trends.* Societies don't always stay the same.* There are continuing cycles of prosperity, extravagance, excessive pride, complacency, decline, struggle, humility, and resurgence.* Various religions have various names for these phenomena.* One calls it "the pride cycle."* We are in a moral decline.* Liberals appear to relish it, deny it, or tolerate it more than conservatives do. Economic and military decline will follow over the coming decades.
