This has been a long-term plan, the destruction of the secular America I grew up in. They do not respect anything about the rule of law as most of us have come to understand it, where the government enforces equality in all things. And truly, that is their chief objection to it.
Great profit and power derive from inequality and discrimination, but some wear blinders and refuse to see that this is part of a social model which has always been opposing us. When people call this way of running things irrational or illogical, it is from the secular world view where science and respect for differences to advance mankind is the bedrock.
If that is not the basis, then society is built on 'might makes right.' It can be dressed many different ways, but that is what is boils down to in the end. The liberal mindset is that of the Founding Fathers, a philosophy that took into account mankind's virtues and flaws and world history. Equality and resitution is the path to peace, as expressed by Thomas Paine, because so many have been dispossessed.
The Founders bespoke a humanist philosopjy, but more than that, a humane outlook on life. We've lost that, drowned out such reverence by media shredding our conscience and continual warfare deadening the love of nature and life.
When things get to that low of a vibration (?), that sees only the material, the skin, the body, the timber, the oil, the steel, it is not in love with life. A person in love with life and learning does not seek to devour or derail other beings sharing space and time, does not see them for their financial or use value only, but feels the gift, the wonder of life, which is so very short.
These people are dragging us back the caveman era, which was not as benighted as they are. At least in the state of nature, there was still nature left to feed the spirit and lighten the heart. They do not intend to leave us that comfort, unless we cede freedom of thought to their authority.
Putting it all together is depressing, but we are at a turning point. We are accomodating some of these ideas because so many follow them, even though it makes our hearts ache.
