Core Lessons: Dismissing The Liberal Naysayers
I wrote this as the introduction to the Politics Section of my original American Kernel site. As I recall, this took less than 15 minutes to write. As was my practice in the days before blogging made immediacy more important, I put this aside for a couple of days, made only a couple grammar tweaks and posted it.
"America's viability will forever depend upon its institutions, laws and leaders remaining mindful of the historical values and morality to which our forefathers were dedicated. While crafting the Constitution, then campaigning for its ratification, the framers knew that 'The People' would never adopt a system of government that lacked an irrevocable attachment to the Christian mores and ideals prevalent in and shared between the various contemporary denominations that dominated colonial and revolutionary era cultural discourse.
'During the 150 years preceding the revolution, the foundation for America's future success was forged by determined people who shared a very narrowly diverse set of morals, values and beliefs. This common consciousness paved the way for us to join together and create a whole new way of thinking about liberty that had not existed before on this earth. Had Madison, Hamilton and Jay written the Federalist Papers in denial that our freedom was won by Providence, or had our other founders neglected to humbly assume an appropriate Christian comportment in asking the several states to join as United States, this nation would not exist.
But modern liberals don't want you to know about any of this, and they don't want your children to be exposed to concepts or monuments that represent the facts. That's why the ACLU descends like locusts upon any public symbol that might remind Americans about the ideals that fertilized the fruits of our ancestor's labor.
'The secular left rabidly hates the fact that biblical ideals are so tightly woven into the intent of our Constitution, our culture, our values and everything that is or has ever been "good" in this land. Ongoing efforts by liberal, subversive, America-hating groups and misguided, activist jurists attempt to undermine the foundations of what we stand for as a nation and a people. The judicial bastardization of the establishment clause of the First Amendment is prima facie evidence of their intentions.
'Today, our Supreme Court spews forth one onerous ruling after another that infringes upon areas that are legally the purview of Congress and the states. They have even begun to cite the opinions of foreign courts as rationale for rulings that restrict the rights of Americans. Such decisions are a grave insult to the intentions, efforts and legacy of our founders.
"It is clear that the scheming naysayers on the left have had their way for far too long by misrepresenting the moral and cultural circumstances present at the time in which this nation was born. The left's modus operandi relies upon being able to divert the focus of debate toward bits of out-of-context minutiae, such as their stubbornly repeating a mantra that consists of one line from a politically motivated letter that Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists. Liberal thought offers nothing to America that doesn't require our abandoning the things that made us a great nation.
"It is pleasing to see that most true conservatives no longer suffer lightly the lunacy espoused by liberal leaders and their dupes. Christian precepts are integral to the events that led to this nation's birth and they sustain us still. Every day, more true patriots are finding the resolve to restore truth to social discourse by vocally exposing political correctness for the socially corrupt lie that it is. To me, there is nothing more absurd than liberals who prattle on about "tolerance" as they plot the next step in their campaign to banish the Ten Commandments and other important symbols of our particular brand of freedom from public institutions."
