Truth in a nutshell
So basically you’re ready to give up?
Tar and feathers.
More seriously, the question of deluded do-gooder using useful idiots, or secret foreign agent/Manchurian Candidate is becoming increasingly important.
Time to form The New American Republic....
LOL’d at tar & feathers ;-)
<>Our eventual demise was baked into our founding documents from the beginning, really.<>
BS. The author is wrong to blame The Enlightenment and founding document.
His views on equality are sophomoric and misleading as well.
Yeah. Wear this.
PLease explain why you say that. For that matter, it may be argued by some that universalism and the erasing of borders, etc., is a desirable goal in keeping with Enlightenment philosophy.
"America isn't a nation, its an idea"
Altruistic foolishness and still articles of faith among many republicans.
The democrats? They wear their hate for this country on their sleeve.
WE codified for US ... "all men are created equal" and WE fought and strove FOR that truth
The world liked the words, adopted the words but not the truth and principle, declared THEMSELVES equal to US (by using the equality phraseology) and thereby muddied our own waters
stupid and evil politicians and sociol engineers helped their cause along, destroying our unique identity and leaving us with a tattered fabric
THAT'S what I got from the article
You really missed the point. The Constitution itself has been “amended” so much that has become the chief tool of the egalitarians. Have we been barking up the right tree?
Exactly!

So, you’re ready to (Obama)-can the US Constitution because it’s now “the chief tool of the egalitarians”?
If you find any new and better clothes, better than our Constitution, then let me now.
But for now - you’re a troll.
That comment only applies to perhaps the last twenty maybe thirty years. In fact America did not ‘go wrong’. The commies managed to take over the universities and sell a generation of spoiled kids the idea that everything about America was wrong.....and it continues a pace.
<> it may be argued by some that universalism and the erasing of borders, etc., is a desirable goal in keeping with Enlightenment philosophy.<>
It can be argued only by those who don’t know what they’re talking about
Do enlighten us all, then
Instead of name-calling, you could offer an argument to rebut the point made about the founding docs. I’m serious, I’d like to hear why The Enlightenment is not the basis for the unraveling of our national sovereignty, the family, patriarchy, and so on.
No, you cite evidence of Enlightenment thinkers in support of “universalism and the erasing of borders, etc., (as) a desirable goal.”
