About this episode
Victor Davis Hanson discusses the threats socialism poses to the foundational principles of America as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
America’s 250th anniversary raises a bigger question about whether the country can endure for another 250 years. The Constitution, federalism, legal immigration, natural resources, free markets, private property, and a strong middle class helped build the United States into the most successful nation in history. The rise of socialism, attacks on the constitutional system, open-border policies, hostility toward energy and agriculture, and class warfare all threaten the foundations that allowed America to flourish for centuries, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit https://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.
