Stand for Something

After reading Mark Steyn's latest , I am reminded of "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
The modern liberal PC naval contemplation has resulted in a West that has chosen to spin its history into reminding itself of all the 'evil' it has done.
For some reason, humans have a tendency to forget the bad and remember the good things that have happened to them. Must be a survival technique.
If the West is going to survive, we will need to be reminded why it was so important that those 300 Spartans delayed the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae .
While it is certainly true that perfection was not achieved by the Greeks or Romans or the Holy Roman Empire or the British Empire or the USA, each has made a significant contribution to human liberty and the modern West's complete ignorance of its history is the chink in the armor the Jihadists are exploiting.
A crash course in Western civilization should begin immediately by the MSM to remind the West why it's ideals are the best hope for humanity.
