AsOneNation.com is a curated archive of essays and commentary examining the political, cultural, and ideological forces shaping the United States and the broader West.

The site grew out of the book Re-United States (see the “Book” section), written more than a decade ago, and now serves as a central repository for commentary published in national outlets. The background material presented here is intended to provide historical and intellectual context for that ongoing work. The book is no longer actively promoted or sold by the author. It remains available only through secondary resellers and is referenced here solely as background for the commentary and essays that followed.

At its core, AsOneNation.com is grounded in a simple premise: free societies do not fail only from external attack, but from internal confusion—when moral clarity is replaced by euphemism, when ideology overrides common sense, and when institutions lose the will to defend the values that made them possible.

A central theme of this work is the growing influence of far-left ideology within Western political, academic, and cultural institutions—and how that influence has created space for Islamist movements and narratives to operate under the protective umbrella of “progressivism.” This convergence has allowed ideas fundamentally hostile to liberal democracy to evade scrutiny, often reframed as grievances rather than examined as ideologies.

In a broader sense, this is an argument for the protection of Christendom, which gave rise to Modernity as we know it. This is not an argument against liberalism itself. American liberalism and American conservatism—working in tension but in good faith—together formed the foundation of the United States and the broader Western project.  Strong liberals and strong conservatives, engaged in constructive disagreement, historically produced American resilience. The concern addressed here is that contemporary far-left ideology now exercises disproportionate influence over public discourse, functioning as a tail that increasingly wags the liberal dog, to the detriment of pluralism, free inquiry, and social cohesion.

What was once dismissed as speculative or alarmist is now visible across Western democracies. From the normalization of antisemitism cloaked in activism, to the erosion of institutional neutrality, to the reluctance of elites to name ideological threats plainly, these patterns have become difficult to deny.

This site exists to document that trajectory, to analyze how we arrived here, and to argue—clearly, soberly, and without tribal loyalty—for the conditions necessary to preserve a free, pluralistic society rooted in the Judeo-Christian moral framework that made Western modernity possible.
