Use the term “Glossocracy” in a sentence

I’m a fan of the Gates of Vienna blog, which focuses on all of the various threats to Western Civilization from a rational traditionalist point of view. It’s authors are well-read, conservative, pithy and wickedly politically incorrect in a calculative manner: They’re my kind of people.
A frequent contributor there, a Scandinavian blogger by the name of Fjordman, used to maintain his own blog but gave it up and now makes his presence known as prolific commenter in other blogs and by contributing longer essays to other blogs that hold his interest and share his concerns for the West’s cultural legacy.
I’m particularly fond of his sardonism:
Gates of Vienna: The Rise of Glossocracy
In the 19th century, Britain was threatened with subjugation by Napoleon. The British people rose to the occasion and defeated the threat. In the 20th century, Britain was threatened with subjugation by Adolf Hitler. The British people rose to the occasion and defeated the threat. In the 21st century, Britain was threatened with subjugation by the combined forces of Islamic Jihad and a pan-European superstate. The British people didn’t notice the threat, as they were too busy watching semi-naked people do obscene things on TV. I bet even George Orwell didn’t see that one coming, but maybe Huxley did.
