The left-wing teapot tempest loathes the four cardinal

virtues of antiquity—wisdom, temperance, justice,

courage—and the three theological virtues—faith,

hope, love. Once the virtues are gone, logic and

reason as well exit the stage door. Common sense

be damned cry the minions.

Intellectual brain food becomes scarce, leaving only

rage, emotion, and passion to draw on. Solzhenitsyn

asks how can a reasonable man engage in discourse

with an unreasonable one? The answer lies in the

question. You can’t. If you can’t, the perplexing

question becomes how can society be saved?
