Excellent posting on Deep Thought "Worth Fighting For" summarizing the craddle to grave cycle of civilization that cycles on if it's citizens allow it to.
The Barbarians we really need to fear are those among us who reject their own civilization. Those who claim to uphold Western Civilization, but really only seek to grab the nice sounds, the connotations and respect still given the word "Civilization", while rejecting all of the substantial meanings and responsibilities required for the word to retain it's meaning and its standing.
Western Civilization is worth fighting for, and the first line of defense is for us all to stop allowing its enemies to gut its most valuable words & customs and use them like jewelry "bling" to dress themselves up in while stabbing it in the back.

Fools will be suffered and battered with glee,
Trolls will be fed and booted for free,
at least until they become more boring than fun,
or if they peg my disgust-o-meter,
at which point they'll be deleted,
unsung.
