In summary, I think Western Civilization has become far too libertine and decadent. I we need liberty under the law. Too much liberty results in licentiousness and anarchy and makes us vulnerable to cultural and literal invasion.

It would seem to me that your opinion runs counter to that of our Founders, and would lead to the kind of authoritarian State that we've been fighting AGAINST for over 230 years. Your support for laws like the Patriot Act and the RealID Act expose you as someone who might be better suited to residence in Cuba, Russia or Venezuela than here in the U.S. of A. That or you don't realize the evisceration on the Bill of Rights these travesties of law have caused.
