But for more than a century, an insidious force has done its worst to rip the republic asunder: a movement of elites, academes, and politicians bent on reshaping the nation in the image of Marx, Rousseau, and - somewhat comically -  Mussolini.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe good news for the United States? Despite its appearance, the movement, Liberalism, is by all rights dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this lively obituary, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., founder and editor-in-chief of the American Spectator, chronicles:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- the differences between healthy, classical liberalism and twisted, modern Liberalism\u003cbr\u003e- the noxious fumes of Kultursmog, a pollution of our culture marked by Liberal deceits, distortions, and the suppression of all disagreement\u003cbr\u003e- the civil wars that gave birth to two competing Liberal camps - infantile leftists and stealth socialists - and the death throes that have engulfed them both\u003cbr\u003e- how harsh economic realities and Liberal overreach have turned the tide back toward common sense and founding principles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Liberalism is effectively kaput, it is up to an engaged citizenry to hammer home the final coffin nails. The citizenry must affirm timeless republican values and constitutional ideals - in our neighborhoods, workplaces, ballparks, and especially at the ballot box - to ensure that this destructive movement rests in as much peace as it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"No columnist, no author, has had a greater influence upon the course of American political history over the past decade than that ribald contrarian, R.
