Bad ideas take time to implement and take even more time to reverse. Bad ideas are usually introduced to correct other bad ideas. Bad ideas are always taken too far. Anti-discrimination laws were expedient and were used to correct the ill effects of discrimination, but resulted in discrimination against everybody else. These “course correction” laws should be passed with a sunset date.
There have been a number of US policies that were adopted that are currently backfiring. This includes bribing other countries with foreign aid, separating church and state, adopting socialist welfare programs, adopting “secular humanism”, allowing “political correctness to replace free speech, rejecting the meritocracy as the means to operating a free-market economy and adopting permanent anti-discrimination laws.
Bad ideas are easy to spot. They work at cross-purposes. They take a lot of time to implement and a lot of time to reverse. The Founders faced a conundrum with slavery. They knew it was wrong, but the economy was built on slavery and the southern colonies refused to join the Founders unless slavery was spared. In 1776, it was expedient and necessary to get the Southern States to join the North to gain independence from Great Britain. By the 1830s, the US Northern States began promote the abolishment of slavery. This caused the Civil War in 1860. Anti-discrimination laws were passed from 1960 to 1965 and have since been updated to include mental illnesses. Now, in 2024, the courts are stopping “reverse” discrimination and are returning to a meritocracy. In 2026, we will have spent the last 250 years on this debacle.
In
1947, Everson v. Board
of Education reached the United
States Supreme Court.
Relying on the plain text of the First Amendment, the Supreme Court found that although the United States government cannot promote religion, it also cannot be religion's adversary. This is not a decision. It’s a conundrum. It’s hard to see how this resulted in banning prayer from public schools in the 1980s without a little help from our Marxists.
This
and other Supreme Court decisions were based on Thomas Jefferson’s objection to
the “Church of England” being dominant and exclusive in Virginia. He meant to
allow other denominations to be welcome in Virginia. He wanted to sever all
ties between the US and England.
The Founders’ faith in God was unshakable. Many of the Founders found fault with many of the Christian denominations, but faithfully read the Bible, believed in Christian principles and relied on God’s Providence. They established the US with God given rights and Judeo-Christian principles. They established a Meritocracy based on ability to have a viable free market economy. We seem to be returning to this Meritocracy.
We have also immigrated many families who do not have a Judeo-Christian background and expect them to assimilate. It took generations to assimilate those mostly Europeans. They battled over jobs. Eventually they inter-married and the “melting-pot” began to work. Now we have Muslims who are famous for their “convert or die” attitude and they are being elected to represent their populations. Most of these marriages are failing. This is a bad idea that will take time to fix.
The US adopted most of the mistakes that originated in Europe. We need to recognize that Europe continues to suffer from their excessive sales taxes, their invasion by Muslims in 2015 and their Global Warming Hoax.
Far Left Marxist Democrats have supported lawlessness, inflation, climate change hoax implementation, government waste and failure to support the US Constitution. They have infested large US corporations, universities, public schools, social media, news media, local, county, state and federal government agencies. They are supported by Global Marxists who want to “fundamentally transform” the US using UN Agenda 21.
