America 3.0 — On America the Resilient and Our Nation's Once and Future Prosperity

Because I believe in American exceptionalism --- and our people's ability to overcome the most devastating adversity --- I remain very optimistic on the future of America, with one caveat: The sine qua non of America's future revival will depend not just on an end to the Obama regime but also upon the complete annihilation of the radical statism that is represented by the president's party and the leftist cult of grievance, hate and envy. I know that is perhaps Utopian, but if we can't achieve a total obliteration of leftists and leftism, we need to at least marginalize them so far to the periphery that it will take decades before they can at least make the barest bid for legitimate political viability again.

That's a long-term project, no doubt, and it's one that fellow conservatives and patriots are currently fighting for with a passion.

More on that later, in any case. What got me thinking about this, especially about the optimism-in-America part, is David Swindle's wonderful essay at PJ Media, "On 9/11 and Benghazi’s Anniversary, We End Conservative Pessimism and Right-Wing Apocalypticism."

David showcases the new book from James C. Bennett and Michael J. Lotus, America 3.0: Rebooting American Prosperity in the 21st Century - Why America's Greatest Days Are Yet to Come.

I love that title, and David's got a screen-cap with excerpts:
