The game is called “The slippery slope to violent extremism” and stars a fairly unsophisticated goat.  You move the goat left or right to avoid blocks, and your if goat hits one, he explodes.  The game itself, and the FBI site it’s located on, attempts to teach kids about the dangers of propaganda, groupthink, and various phrases or ideas that are part of “extremist” ideology.  Throughout the game, the gamer is treated to various phrases that are part of the “distorted logic” of extremists, but sound as if they were uttered by a politician agitating for a new war.  “We must defend our traditions”, “The enemy is responsible for this injustice”, and, “our violent actions will result in a better future”.  This is heard constantly, in some form or another, by warmongering politicians on the eve of another U.S. invasion.

Buchanan’s article, How Republics Perish, seems to imply that we’re still a Republic.  The Republic is dead, and an American Hydra has taken the throne.  It’s draped with the symbols of the vanquished Republic, and hopes wrapping itself in the flag will fool enough people, that it really is their old Republic.

The Republic will be reborn only after we’ve fully realized that the Republic itself was murdered in its sleep 100 years ago.  Only by understanding the instrument of its demise will we be able to resurrect the Republic, and with it, liberty.
