But the American way can only prevail if Americans believe in it. That is why, as important as the military and ideological battles against militant Islam are, the most important battle is the ideological one within America. But with America's universities, unions, professional associations, mainstream news media, and one of its two major parties ideologically aligned with Europe, and with big businesses constantly undermining Judeo-Christian values, the battle within America itself for America's unique values is far from won. And given that only America offers a viable alternative to both militant Islam and secularism-socialism, if we lose the battle here, humanity has a very dark future

I think it's important that readers can transpose the words America or Americans with Australia or Australians, in fact even Western/ers.

America with it's warts and all still offers the best in this materialistic world, specifically the freedoms that go with it.

The alternatives are simply incomprehensible.
