The Loss of America’s Transcendent Values
American Thinker ^ | 15 Sep, 2024 | E. Jeffrey Ludwig

The left is taking down the country.

Earlier this year, West Point's superintendent announced that West Point would modify its mission statement to drop “Duty, Honor, and Country” in favor of "the Army Values," a reference to a broader set of seven attributes that serve as the Army's ethos. This shift has rightly raised concerns about the woke — i.e., unpatriotic — direction being taken throughout our military and throughout many of our educational institutions.

The elimination of these three transcendent values is a reminder that we have begun to take steps beyond “liberalism” into a new universe of social and political disintegration. The disintegration of male/female identity as a sine qua non for a healthy society, the ethnic balkanization of our society that has gone on for a few decades, and “green” obsession with overpopulation and with getting rid of fossil fuels and natural gas are the backdrop of the decline of transcendent values. The transcendent values are the values that bring us together, and those values are undergirded by English-speaking legal values and Protestant theological values (which include Old Testament moral values to some degree).

It can be a little hard to get a sense of this slipping away because it is a slippage that starts at the level of one’s general values. It’s part of the conceptual basis of our lives that is slipping away, which, though of utmost importance, is not typically part of our everyday consciousness or discourse because of the demands and pressures of more practical matters.

I saw this clearly in the recent presidential debate between former president Trump and Cackmala, the Democommie candidate (I have no bias!). She is so upset that some states have enacted abortion laws that are too strict that she advances the need for a federal law

“green” obsession with overpopulation

Uh, they ditched that a long time ago in favor of mass immigration.

It’s either CW-II or doom.
Choose wisely.

Once, we were steeped in VIRTUES in U.S. schools: the recipe of freedom.
Now, our replacements are warped with
“VALUES”, which are changeable: the first step towards serfdom.
God help our nation.

Exactly. White genocide is the left’s end game to nearly everything.

Gee, and they wonder why no one wants to “join up,” especially the warrior class of young White males.

Am happy to report that the next generation of my family, most of whom served in previous generations, have eschewed military service.

We couldn’t be prouder of them.

The United States goes against thousands of years of human history and behavior.

All citizens playing a part in deciding who governs them?

That is extremely frightening to dictators.

Dictators want that kind of system destroyed.

Even the little dictators in The United States.

Human history is the story of the vast majority of people who are just trying to make a decent life for their families fighting against the psychopaths who want all the wealth and the ability to boss everyone around.

So it is today.
