America's Great Awakening Part Two
Powerline has posted an article by Hillsdale College professor Paul Rahe that is more than worth a few minutes of your time to read. No quotes this time. It's all good.
When I read the first few lines about the conference being held in Canada, I thought the professor was going to say it should be in "America!" I'm glad he didn't forget that the entire Western Hemisphere is America... The meat of the article was good though... it was sad to hear that the lecture seemed to focus only on one side of the issues of 2009, however. I have a sneaking suspicion that things will change dramatically in 2010!
