MY PERSPECTIVE ON THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS

August 18 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Economics, The Left, US Constitution, Western Civilization

This 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 . . .

  1. Verifiable, objective truth
  2. There is objective good and evil, bad
  3. Man is inclined to evil, wrong
  4. Racism is primarily a function of the human heart.
  5. The Constitution of the United States is as good a “constituting framework” as there has been implemented in history.
  6. The United States experience, while not perfect, is about as good as the world has ever seen.
  7. More people have risk their lives trying to get to the USA than any other country. There is a reason why this is so.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. The response of many governmental office holders has been “unconstitutional” in their over-reach of authority.
  12. 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.
  13. The net affect of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been negative.
  14. The Democrat party has done more hinder progress of African Americans than help.
  15. The concept of “Systemic Racism” is being used to push America solidly into the progressive camp. See this post.
  16. “Systemic Racism” is not a logical construct. [Reference]
