Hello,
	There is a new post on The Conservative Philosopher.  You can read it at:

http://www.conservativephilosopher.com/posts/1137542163.shtml

It begins:

	Although not a right-wing monopoly, the literature
	of national decline does have a right-wing bias.
	Conventional conservatives, as distinct from
	libertarians, use the past as the benchmark for
	judging the present, while liberals tend to be
	utopian and thus to compare the present against an
	imagined future. . . . The liberal paints a roseate
	future, the conservative a roseate past, and both a
	dismal present, so that the curve is downward for
	the conservative but potentially upward for the
	liberal....
