Home, Hearth, Family and Self.

These are the only originators of rational self-governance.

The saying, “Think globally and act locally.” used to be a favorite of the West’s post-sixties progressives (along with “Free Tibet”). But, in retrospect, it appears that they never meant it.

That’s too bad, because the sentiment provides the template for maintaining a functional nation in an international environment that is caustic to the nation-state, while enlisting citizens with transnational leanings in the hearth’s, home’s, family’s and self’s defense.

The loss of the Left’s (and the Democrats’) allegiance to this homily bodes ill for the Last Nation AND the West’s individual-ist social order. Enter Obama.
