If Cruz were to win in 2016, I hope that he puts a good conservative in as Secretary of Education. If we can have two 2-term conservatives (Cruz and Walker, for example), its possible to save the country, but it will require working from the ground up. No more teaching about homosexuality in Kindergarten, for example.
Nope.
We can’t change the schools till we change the culture.
Culture is upstream of politics. The recent ruling is the working out in the legal system of what was portrayed as normal and desirable 15 or 20 years ago in pop culture.
So if you want to know where our politics will be in 15 or 20 years, look at pop culture today.
Recent polls indicate ~60% approval among Americans for gay marriage. Presumably they will all support this ruling.
Another 10% minimum don’t know or don’t care. This means at most 30% are strongly opposed.
How exactly, in a democratic society, does 30% of the population go about imposing its values on the rest? They don’t. The only way is to get them to change their minds back.
Which is not impossible, but will be very, very difficult. Conservatives have to date not had the stomach for the long, slow grind of influencing a culture over time. We’ve preferred the “quick fixes” of laws and referenda.
That worked well, didn’t it?
While the schools push this evil, American children don’t learn much of anything in school. This boils down to families/tribes preserving their cultures.
The deviants have won a “right” most Americans stopped exercising years ago; this is what helped them do it (lack of marriage/families by young Americans). We are now in the post-Christian phase of America, similar to the nihilism of post-WWI Germany (and much of Europe); institutions like government and religion have failed us, and people are groping for a sense of purpose.
