[16] Biden integrated American history, Augustine, the Torah, and Christianity to marshal forward support for his statement, “And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear. Of unity, not division.” See   President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. | The White House. ”Inaugural Address By President Joseph R.

[17] See Hayek on uniformity in F.A. Hayek. “The Great Utopia." In The Road to Serfdom. London: Routledge, 1944, 24. Hayek is quoting Walter Lippmann, “Though they promise themselves a more abundant life, they must in practice renounce it; as the organized direction increases, the variety of ends must give way to uniformity. That is the nemesis of the planned society and the authoritarian principle in human affairs.” See Atlantic Monthly, November 1936, p. 552.
[18] I refer to that most pernicious peddler of postmodernity, Michel Foucault (1926-1984). A deconstructionist, Foucault examined power structures, e.g., Christianity, Western Civilization, gender, sought to redefine them, and free them from traditional centers of power. I consider him a moral anarchist whose teachings were enormously successful in permeating Western thought.
