Natural Law Theory is key. It is the basis of our Constitution. It is where our Natural Rights come from
There isn’t a a single soul in my life — relative, friend, acquaintance or co-worker — who knows and understands this. Conservative friends sense it but they still miss the point and will ask me “why do we have an electoral college, why not a popular vote”, and they are wholly ignorant that the states were designed as the fundamental building block of the nation.
Then there are the leftists and Marxists who can’t even begin to listen on the subject because their defenses against our natural rights immediately kick in. All they see are rights for gays, glass ceilings for women, they see skin color, they see oppressed poor. They aren’t capable of learning about our natural rights.
Frustrating, infuriating and I don’t see a way back to a constitutional Republic when I can’t make friend or foe understand this crucial fundamental concept.
It is frustrating and infuriating talking to useful idiots. The ex-KGB Yuri explains this (on youtube from the 70’s) how teaching children “cognitive dissonance” (lies) for 12 years, will destroy their logic and reason.
Adults can hardly ever become logical and reasonable even if the Truth hits them in their face. They can’t help it-—it is indoctrination and conditioning through schools and media and perceptions shaped by soundbites. It is hard to dislodge all the BS—almost impossible if you don’t get them when they are forming their “reality”—their worldview. Marxists are forming it now.
Their foundation is flawed—so their very basic notions have to be changed—like what is a Republic and why are democracies always end in tyranny.
Ayn Rand talked about this-—that the leftists are all “irrational”—(because Marx kicks out Natural Law Theory—(Common Sense). It is on purpose so people will believe the absurd like “up is really down”, “sodomy is really good”.
They want to create human beings where love does not exist-—like in The Brave New World==no biological connections—no meaning in a totally controlled and condition populous. Destroy the maternal and paternal instincts so the state can form the worldview of children.
