Welcome to The American Postliberal!

Look out your window. What do you see? What I see when looking out my window is America. Outside my window is a Cape Cod style house, painted gray, surrounded by dogwoods, a maple tree in front, and an American flag proudly blowing in the wind. Inside this house sits a family. A mom. A dad. And their twins, a boy and a girl. They sit down for dinner, sharing their day, ending their night in a cacophony of laughter.

This is twilight in America. For millions of Americans, this dream is dead.

Look out your window now. What do you see? You should see America. Instead, you’ll find a hollowed nation and a hollowed people. We watch as our cities burn, our statues are toppled, our factories emptied, and the liberal order reigns unchallenged. The “Empire of Liberty” has fallen. We are supposedly more “free” than we have ever been, but something is clearly wrong. More than ever, Americans lack any connection to their neighbors, families, and nation – not to mention God. How did we get here, and more importantly, how do we fix it? Do we merely need to “return to the founding” or are we building something new entirely? As the liberal order breaks before our eyes, something evidenced by the election of 2016, what will rise from the ashes of American liberalism?
