Where It All Went Wrong

[22lcidw]

Murica didn't make it past the 2nd president, before they started abusing their power.....Alien and Sedition Act was blatantly unconstitutional.

He's right.

There are people that believed the Articles of Confederation was the true freedom. That the Constitution of the United States could be compromised and end up what we have now and worse. The thing is with the Articles is that it was a bit rudderless and may left us open to attack with little government at that time.

Let's not overlook the efforts the Founders put in to avoid just that:
Checks and balances
Separation of powers


Who could have imagined how ingenious the Left has been.....or their patience.



And in that light.....the magnificence of the latest Supreme Court decision designed to bring us back to the America of the Founders.

This week the Court has taken a giant step toward reviving the America that the Founders believed they created, not an administrative state run by bureaucrats, technocrats and unelected judges.
In a major 6-3 ruling, for the case West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, limits the EPA's ability to set regulations on the energy sector a decision that poses massive implications on the Biden administration's goals to fight climate change.
The Court correctly decided that regulations of the sort the EPA claimed to have power over, are only constitutional when elected officials, the Congress, or legislatures offer them.

Yet John Adams, the 2nd president, blatantly violated those "just powers" in order to go after political opponents.

6. Just a short time ago, you wouldn’t have believed the major party would be claiming that men can become women,….or be pregnant…..or men can compete in women’s sports,…..or that infanticide would be peachy keen.

And so it has come to pass….America more under cultural Marxism than the Founder’s freedom.

No longer are we individual, judged by ‘the content of our character’….but by our race, class and gender.



And this is what your children are learning in government school.

1963 was brought to us by 1913.

Pretty much that.

7. The American Left found a method far more efficacious than the guillotine……control of the schools.


“Much as Jacobin leaders in the French Revolution and Marxist thinkers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries looked to the virtue and ethical purity of oppressed groups (common people, peasants, proletarian workers) to overthrow oppressing classes (the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie), so woke reformers today look to minorities and to those marginalized because of their sexual desires or gender identities to create a peaceable kingdom of intersectional harmony, in which white and cis-hetero-male groups will be stripped of their privilege and made conscious of their sins.


… the classical tradition of liberty, a creed that, while imperfect, remains the foundation of the American system and underlies many of its virtues. Yet it is no longer much taught in American schools.


“We believe,” the authors of American Birthright write, that “American students should comprehend aspects of American government such as the rule of law, the Bill of Rights, elections, elected office, checks and balances, equality under the law, trial by jury, grand juries, civil rights, and miliary service.” They want to correct the distortions of school curricula that “too frequently omit crucial figures” in the American story, such as George Washington, and “excise entire concepts, such as liberty or republican virtue.”

The K-12 framework reminds us that classical liberalism produces better outcomes.

Government school is operated by the sort of savage agenda seen in the French Revolution.

Unless we can pry the schools from them, as earlier American pried their slaves from them.....America is lost.

8. What was….

“AMERICA’S FOUNDING IDEALS – America’s soul – used to be called the American creed. The creed’s origin is the first sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights….”


…the creed embodies “the political principles of liberty, equality, democracy, individualism, human rights, the rule of law, and private property.”
Samuel P. Huntington’s Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity, p.46





And what is….

There are only three things important to the Democrat program, agenda.....Race, Class, and Gender.
Not liberty, not religious freedom, not prosperity, not individuality, not tranquility.
Race, Class, and Gender.


“Cultural Marxism, though it’s dismissed by critics as a “term invented by the Right”, “was an undeniable school of thought taking Marxist categories of oppressed and oppressor beyond the economic realm and applying to it other forms of oppression: gender, race, sexuality.”
Caldron Pool



“A hundred years ago, kids in classrooms were taught the color of their skin was their most important characteristic — and if they looked a certain way, they were inferior. Today, kids again are being taught that the color of their skin defines them — and if they look a certain way, they’re an oppressor.”

9. Under Progressives/Liberals/Democrats, this is the new normal:


We live in a culture that targets males, specifically straight white Christian males......and guess who many of the mass killers turn out to be.
Don’t be puzzled about young men who want to die, and kill little children.

It’s what they have been inculcated about their being a male, they have grown up in a culture that states that being gay is better.....they are victims, but everyone must celebrate their "pride." There's no straight, white male pride month.....quite the opposite.
What's the word you think of when you see "........masculinity."?

Christian, or religious in some other variation, they are immersed in a materialistic, not spiritual, society, where religion of any sort is mocked and marginalized. It is forbidden in schools or in polite society.

Family is targeted.....Liberal/Democrat culture has made single motherhood the goal, even though it dooms these children to lives punctuated with prison and poverty.
And being Caucasian is no privilege, either, with the major political party platform including anti-white racism.
Straight white Christian men…..the only unprotected category in America today….

That's Democrat/Progressive/Socialist Culture.
