The only reason we have come this far is because of people constantly pounding the pavement and fighting for change. Back off on that even a little and the regressionistic theonomists will get a foothold that will take decades if not centuries to undue.
They will flood our schools with lies about our government, morality, and how they wish society was and how they want it to works. They will teach our kids to despise LGBTQ people and strip women of all rights. And set up an institutionalize hierarchy and rules to ensure that the children won't ever hear dissent.
We will lose not only the young kids of today but generation after generation thereafter.
Further, just think of what you are saying. ALL the wealth and power would be shored up with cis-white-straight-protestant-males. You would not be moving the country forward, you will be moving it back. Reinstating the old aristocracy that we worked to hard to remove from power.
All the while throwing women and all minorities (racial, sexual, gender, and religious) under the bus for purely your own benefit. Only by having both social and economic justice can the country ever move forward.
Your idea is quiet simply the single worst idea I have ever heard on DU.[/font]
