MY PERSPECTIVE ON THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS
August 18 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Economics, The Left, US Constitution, Western CivilizationThis is a work-in-progress. It will be my attempt to outline my thinking on the current state of America and to a lesser extent, the rest of the western world, and then . . .
- Verifiable, objective truth
- There is objective good and evil, bad
- Man is inclined to evil, wrong
- Racism is primarily a function of the human heart.
- The Constitution of the United States is as good a “constituting framework” as there has been implemented in history.
- The United States experience, while not perfect, is about as good as the world has ever seen.
- More people have risk their lives trying to get to the USA than any other country. There is a reason why this is so.
- The nuclear family (one man-one woman) is the best institution for the well-being of society. Without wide-spread practice/adoption of this model, societal functioning becomes very frail.
- Slavery was never the intent of the founders of the United States, but was allowed as a compromise to get the bulk of the founding document.
- No country other than the USA has fought a civil war over the institution of slavery. The priority of the majority (the North) was to maintain the union of the states, AND abolish slavery.
- The response of many governmental office holders has been “unconstitutional” in their over-reach of authority.
- There is more systemic racism than many [non-black] Americans want to admit, but the American society is not built on a primarily racial framework, and there has been much reduction in “systemic racism” since 1776.
- The net affect of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been negative.
- The Democrat party has done more hinder progress of African Americans than help.
- The concept of “Systemic Racism” is being used to push America solidly into the progressive camp. See this post.
- “Systemic Racism” is not a logical construct. [Reference]
