A country whose leadership does not understand the concept of mutually incompatible choices is doomed to have its political structure decay into tyranny and its economy stagnate and finally collapse.


In 1947, when the Supreme Court "established" separation of church and state as a billy club against religion in the public square (Everson v. Board of Education), they stabbed "nature and Nature's God" in the back.

Then in 1961, when SCOTUS put atheists on the same legal footing as those who believe in "nature and nature's God" (Torcaso v. Watkins), they stabbed the tattered remains of Western civilization in the heart.

I'm just amazed the collapse has taken this long.
