Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M RogersDiscerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M RogersFeral Humans and the Future of AmericaThe West, and specifically the United States, are in decline, jettisoning the values that made Western Civilization possible and allowed it to flourish, and seemingly bent upon committing cultural suicide. This can be seen in the increasingly violent rhetoric and public profanity of political leaders and in the increasing violence among militant protesters in the streets--indeed performance outrage.
