[Breitbart] Craig Shirley, author of December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World, speculated on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that American political divisions will fracture the country within the nation’s third century.
"I don’t know if America is special enough to stay together in a third century," Shirley warned on the 80th anniversary of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1942.
Shirley remarked, "[Andrew Breitbart] once said, very adroitly, that politics is downstream from culture. Our culture, we don’t eat the same breakfast cereal anymore. We don’t read the same newspapers. We don’t consume the same news. We’re divided in every way, shape, and form in our culture, and thus it translates downstream into our politics. I personally think — and not that I’m hoping, I’m just an observer — but I think the United States is heading toward a breakup. It’s already happening." |
