Flap it might do you good to read a few conservative books that shed a light on this. Believe me I have read almost all the major books written by liberal thinkers. The Abolition Of Britain would be a great book to read. It is written by Peter Hitchens. He also attacks conservatives so you won't be overwhelmed. Here is a review on the book More than anything else, this book makes the American reader think of how similar issues and problems are shared, and where the United States may be heading in the very near future. These questions include those about education: Why have schools who once applied the dictum of moderation in all things to just things like math, science, English, and history? Why did the mainstream church (which is nothing but a set of beliefs) abandon those beliefs, thereby essentially self-destructing? This book confuses many people as he does not spare Margaret Thatcher or the Tories in his indictments. He disapproves of what he feels is indifference, or animus, exhibited by Tories to cultural matters. Their only concerns have been economic, what Peter Gress calls the bourgeois pathology in his book From Plato to Nato. Mr. Hitchens is correct on this account. American conservatives suffer from the same malady. This book really does not offer much in the way of prescriptions beyond resisting full integration into the EU. He does offer many observations with parallels in this country. Unless we Americans wish to follow suit, we'd best answer why a people who have gone from the administrators of the world's greatest empire have in a short hundred years diminished themselves to the point where their government does not trust the populace with sharp objects (they have knife as well as gun control now).
