Symbolically, music's Golden Era has past

As music devolves into trash (not universally but nearly so), does it symbolize the decay of Western society?  I have argued (long ago on this blog somewhere) that musical decay is a symptom of societal devolving.  Bill Whittle and Alfonzo Rachel discuss the same idea. Roman society decayed dramatically towards the end. I'm not sure about it's music, but as I said, musical decay is a symptom of a larger problem.

Is growth always followed by decay? Is every society destined to fail? In another example of the decay, does the defund police movement provide more evidence of a descent into anarchy right before a societal collapse?  I don't believe we have come that far but if we don't turn the ship around, so to speak, it may become inevitable a lot sooner than we'd like.

The truth about conservatism

I'm glad to see the re-emergence of AlfonZo Rachel (at least he has been less prominent for me in recent years).  Here he joins Bill Whittle, I believe as a regular guest now, to discuss what conservatism really means. Both men make some great points here.

Is Obama anti-Christian?

I know a lot of people who think Obama has an anti-Christian agenda. Some even think he's pro-Muslim.  Personally I don't buy it.  I think he's a secularist, who used Christianity (not very effectively considering his choice in pastors) as a cloak during his campaign to help win the election.  That doesn't mean he won't do things to subvert Christianity whenever possible, but I don't believe it's a major thrust of his agenda, which is socialist in nature.

But I don't want to be dismissive of those who believe he's got a different agenda, because for all of us, it's speculation. so in the spirit of open discussion let me post something for your consideration.

Here, no less than Alfonzo Rachel ruminates on Obama's seemingly pro-Muslimness.
