Its about Britain, but it certainly applies to us as well.

An excerpt:
Our society is in ruins because politicians of all major parties ruined it.
They attacked stable family life. They allowed the post-1960 BBC to wage a war against patriotism, religion and morality. They encouraged private debt. They removed wise controls on the twin curses of alcohol and gambling. They excused crime and let it rage and failed to prevent the spread of dangerous illegal drugs. They neutralised the police and courts. They destroyed manufacturing industry. They flung open our borders. They started stupid wars. They ruined the schools. They postponed the reckoning by borrowing and borrowing and hoping something would turn up.
The great economist and moralist Adam Smith – who knew you couldn’t be prosperous without being moral – said there was a lot of ruin in a nation. And our story of long, slow decline proves that. It has taken much effort to bring one of the greatest civilisations in human history to this state, but here we are.
