“Heidegger (who eventually joined the Nazi party himself), called this “the unconditional dominion of subjectivity.”19 Without God—without some shared, stable, objective basis for understanding what is true, moral, and real—we are left only with competing demands for power and competing attempts to control the facts.”

“Well . . . I spent the night once with a woman who was one of those—what do you call them?—congenital liars. Every single thing she told me about herself was untrue. And if I caught her in some contradiction or some obvious mistake, she would simply replace that untruth with another untruth. There was no bottom to it. It went on all night. Lies upon lies upon lies. And what I found was that, by the time morning came, a strange thing had happened to me.” “You began to believe her.” “Of course. I just began to accept whatever she said. Because I’m not insane. Only an insane person can live as if everything he hears is a lie.”

“America’s recent decline isn’t an accident. It’s decline by design. For more than a century, liberal Democrats have plotted to sabotage American power. These Democrats believe a strong and confident America brings war, arrogance, and oppression—not safety, freedom, and prosperity. They want America to pull in its horns and apologize for its sins. I don’t assert these liberals are necessarily un-American or hate our country—though plenty are and do—but they genuinely believe American power is dangerous for both America and the world.”
