Democracy in peril

Tony Blankley, Washington Times

We may be watching the deconstruction of democracy in America. Yes, you can put me down as an alarmist. The streams of relativism, irony, ignorance, ridicule, ahistoricism, media fatuity, excessive lawyering, hyper-partisanship and power-lust have formed a mighty river of deconstruction that — before our teared eyes — is washing away, at a frightening pace, 200 years of American self-government.
Academic deconstructionists take pride in disassembling the parts of a whole in order to reveal that the whole was never a real thing — but only the pointless object of our pathetic effort to invest meaning into the meaningless. Deconstruction reveals our juvenile faith in reason, truth and the knowability of things.
