I know this is going off on a tangent, but I was struck by the following lines, “Burnham promises “the definitive analysis of the pathology of liberalism.” At the center of that pathology is an awful failure of understanding which is also a failure of nerve, a failure of “the will to survive.”

Yesterday, as I stood in line waiting to enter the massive Seattle Public Library’s Spring Book sale, several people were asking for signatures on a petition to get a “Death with Dignity” law on the November ballot. I, of course, refused to sign (several times since I was asked over and over again). However, all the Liberals around me were more than willing to sign, saying how much this is needed in Washington State.

I guess when you have nothing to stand for, then suicide, or, as Liberals would call it, “Death with Dignity” looks like a very reasonable option. The “failure of the will to survive” translates into embracing “Death with Dignity”, aka, Physician directed suicide laws. Could anyone imagine the generation that defeated Nazism and Communism actively promoting physician directed suicide?
