"Every culture worth preserving has known that human beings flourish through duty, not decadence. Through structure, not chaos. Through virtue, not vice. We ignore that at our peril.

"Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun.”
"So went the “wisdom” proffered last week by David Hogg, the 25-year-old activist and current vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, on Real Time With Bill Maher. What was pitched as a strategic insight into his party’s eroding support among young people — especially young males — did something far more revealing: It captured (and exposed) the moral bankruptcy at the heart of the modern Left.
"Hogg’s comment wasn’t a gaffe. It was the articulation of a worldview and a political program that confirms that the Democrat Party is no longer the party that left Bill Clinton behind. The Democrat Party is the party that has flatly rejected JFK’s exhortation to “ask what you can do for your country.”
"In Hogg’s DNC, now is not the time to do something for your country. No, now’s the time for your country to do something for you — like give you more opportunities for sex and cheap entertainment.
"I get the ostensible appeal, but let’s begin with the most obvious point: This isn’t just bad political analysis. This is a deeply unserious (and flawed) vision of young people, and of all people. Young people — whether they admit as much or not — are desperately looking for more. They’re searching for purpose, for meaning, for something or someone to give themselves to. They’re yearning for a vision of adulthood that doesn’t collapse into endless adolescence." . . .
