Only in America
 Our
"Only in America" column features articles illustrating
the paradox that America is "an aristocratic nation within
a democratic state," as Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
writes in his book Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites.
He points out that America "was born of a revolution that sought
a novus ordo seclorum, severed from the great tradition of
European civilization, which it denigrated as old and decadent,
victim of the defects supposedly typical of aristocratic societies."
From the outset America has abounded with
notable examples of the thirst Americans have for many aspects of
the very European culture this revolution sought to discard. While
the examples presented in these articles may exist in other countries,
the paradox exists "only in America."
True Stories
 "Jesus
and Mary, Get Me There!"
The True Story of an American War Hero
by Jeremias Wells
When a society no longer respects and honors
the fighting men willing to shed their blood for its principles,
the fault lies not with the fighting men but with society itself.
Ingratitude is a subtle vice, but a vice nevertheless.
