The essence of this entire post is contained in the title. Not much more can really be said. The only real future for America, and the world, one that we can be proud to bequeath to our children and grandchildren is simply this: liberty within the fortress. The world has nothing to offer us. We’re witnessing a civilizational quicksand pull the West below the surface. We can’t help them. Not by bringing them here, not by sending money, and not by sending troops. The world will help itself when it sees an America that regains her sense of self worth. The world comes begging, and we must decline help. We must help ourselves, give our own the jobs, give our own the hope, protect and preserve the liberty of our own. The greater America becomes, the more the world will demand entry. Hence the fortress. Make our own whole by defending their nation at a muscular and imposing fortress-border. We are unique in history, something new under the sun. How have we forgotten it so easily? Why have we allowed the systematic and careless plunder of such a priceless achievement as America? This civilizational equivalent of a red emerald, we leave the doors unlocked, and let anyone and their friends enter and toss her around. No more. Liberty within the fortress is the only possible future if we desire to survive and thrive. We are the inheritors of something precious, we should begin acting like it.
