POPSTrojan horse full of liberals - Is it too late to beat them back? "Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder", as "historian Arnold J. Toynbee famously observed" FROM THE SAME BLOG: "there's always the Benedict Option -- the path pioneered in the fifth century by St. Benedict and his followers: Those men and women decided that the survival of the moral community would not be possible under the old order – so they pioneered the nucleus of a new one. They became the Benedictine monks and nuns and their followers, who spread throughout the Europe of the Dark Ages, preserving the remnants of Christian and classical virtues and laying the groundwork for the rebirth of a new civilization."

POPS"Are We Rome?" - Book Review "Are We Rome?" is an essay in polemic, not scholarship, and Mr. Murphy does not set out to analyze the deep structural forces of Roman or American history. Instead, he makes a tour of contemporary American politics, and speculates about Roman parallels to very upto-the-minute problems. In many ways, Mr. Murphy's argument is less about America in general than about the Bush administration in particular. Thus he worries about the transfer of government functions to private contractors like Halliburton, seeing an analogy to the Roman system of patronage.
