I could tell this guy was devoid of Reason and Logic years ago. Justice is a Virtue and Freedom is only possible with a Virtuous people.
This was known in Western Civ since Socrates.....and that idea of “Just Law” was really perfected by Cicero and St. Thomas Aquinas and adopted by the USA.
“When Just Laws ceases to be “Just” (a virtue) it ceases to be Law.”
So, all “Justice Systems” promote an Ethical System. Ours and England and all of Europe, used to be the Christian Ethics....a superior ethical system in the history of the world because every single human being had dignity and worth and Rights from the Creator. It was the most reasoned and debated religion in the world.
What made the USA work was the promotion of the family unit and private property, and Individual Natural Rights from God, not the State or King. (Protected by our Constitution).
Children could grow up to be emotionally strong and intelligent and productive and their worldview controlled by their families. Only secure societies (property rights) produce leisure and security. Americans were not “conditioned” and “group” thinkers until after Dewey. They were unique and thought “outside the box” and obeyed God’s Laws. Some would always fight against the State’s immoral laws, which made our country truly “progressive” when Europe, with Socialism, became regressive.
The prisons are filled with fatherless kids. Where there is no Virtue, culture collapses. When the family unit is destroyed, children usually can not flourish. It is very hard, so rare for people to end up like a Ben Carson who only made it because of Jesus Christ.
The Cultural Marxists like Lukacs/Gramsci stated to destroy America you have to destroy Virtue. The two pillars of Western Civilization (and America) are Christianity and the Natural Family.
Both were targeted with evil (unconstitutional) laws. Laws which deny children their natural rights to be raised by their biological parents—like homosexual marriage—are unjust law. All irrational law is unconstitutional, and homosexual “sex” is irrational and a vice (dehumanizing). John Marshall stated when Laws cease to promote Virtue—they cease to be law. They are “Null and Void”.
Nuremberg Trials and MLK, jr reiterated that same concept.
So, divorcing Virtue (ethics) from our government is NOT possible when it contains a “JUSTICE” system. Justice is the Queen of Virtue in Western Civilization (or was).
The trouble is, no one understands the fundamental meaning of the words in the US Constitution. Certainly not our “Justices” anymore. EVERY WORD has not only a specific meaning, but connotations-—dating back to the Greek Masters and Cicero. Words/meanings in our Supreme Document, should not “evolve”. The word, marriage, should not be allowed to be twisted into a meaningless concept. It removes Traditions and Reason to allow such twisting of words/Truth/Biology/Natural Laws/Reason.
Western Civilization-—all knowledge and Traditions (Classical Education) is being eliminated from the minds of children so the Marxist like the above-—can rewrite the “meaning” of everything....where Reason and Logic can never exist.
Wittgenstein—the brilliant philosopher stated—that words/language can be controlled to create the perceptions of the masses. Our media and public schools have been controlled by Marxists to destroy Virtue-—and Reason and Logic in our children, intentionally.
Boortz is obviously one of the brainwashed minions who is part of the Hegelian Dialectic or a useful idiot.
It’s fairly late in the year now, so I think it’s reasonable to suggest that your post should qualify for the FR Post of the Year.
While we can never legislate morality, it is always crucial to legislate morally. For the past 150 years or so we have had so-called “law schools” in this country. Perhaps it may soon be time for such a thing as a “Justice School.” Someday, when studying Socrates, Cicero, Aquinas, Blackstone, Locke, Kant, the Founding Fathers, John Marshall, and Wittgenstein, et al, will be respected enough by the masses to justify the price of tuition.
I commend your excellent post as well.
