Hemorrahaging America: A Nation Of Adverse Great Decisions

Every person in the United States and in the world makes decisions every day. These decisions affect every aspect of an individual’s life positively or negatively. Of course, at the same time, a nations’ governmental leaders make decisions that affect a nation positively or negatively, too. However, these elected and/or appointed governmental leaders must make their myriad of decisions based on one of two viewpoints of representation. The first viewpoint of representation is the trustee position. If a leader takes a trustee viewpoint of representation, he or she would put his or her personal judgment ahead of the judgment of the ones he or she represents, even if it would risk his or her reelection, because it is the moral thing to do and it would benefit the nation as a whole. On the other hand, governmental leaders could choose to make their decisions based on the delegate position. The delegate position of representation would dictate that governmental leaders make decisions based on the will of their constituency, rather than their own personal judgment. But, these type decisions would be immoral and, would in the long run, destroy a nation’s greatness from within its own borders.

Fortunately, when the Founding Fathers created America’s Constitutional Republic, they operated within a trustee mindset. As a result, they created a document that would provide a form of government based on what they believed would be morally right. However, even before the U.S. Constitution was written, the Founding Fathers had a great decision to make. Basically, they had to decide if they would revise the Articles of Confederation that had too many weaknesses or write an entirely new constitution that would create a stronger central government. As a result, they made the great decision to give the government the proper amount of power to ensure that its laws passed by Congress would be enforced. Also, the new government would have a judicial branch that would ensure that the laws passed by Congress met the standards of the newly created Constitution. Therefore, this Great Decision was responsible for the creation of a Constitutional Republic with constitutional law at its foundation. It was also responsible for creating a limited government that would ensure that all Americans would have basic rights and freedoms that were not afforded the early colonists who came from England and other parts of Europe in the early seventeenth century.

Of course, as decades and centuries have passed, new Great Decisions have been made by America’s leaders that have adversely affected the United States. The first adverse Great Decision was made by the Supreme Court in the early 1960s. As a result, according to Wikipedia, the Supreme Court gave in to the demands of a small group of atheistic believers in the case of Murray v. Curlett, which led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling that ended Bible-reading in America’s public schools in 1963. Now, fifty-one years later, that Supreme Court’s Great Decision has been the catalyst for destroying the excellence of America’s public education system. In fact, despite all the billions of dollars spent on education, American students persistently score lower on math, science, and reading than their counterparts in Asia. Unfortunately, those in the education circle have not been able to find a solution to America’s educational dilemma.

The second adverse Great Decision was made in the United States in 1973 by the Supreme Court, too. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court voted in favor of a woman having the constitutional right to an abortion. In essence, the Court ruled that a fetus is not a person and has no constitutional rights. As a result, since the 7-2 vote in favor of abortion in 1973, over 55 million babies have been aborted (murdered) in their mother’s womb. However, this Great Decision by the Supreme Court has caused untold misery to the individual women who have had abortions and has caused America as a nation to face many troubling consequences. As far as individual women are concerned, they have to live with what they did when they agreed to murder an unwanted baby for convenience sake.

The third adverse Great Decision was made by the Supreme Court in 2003 in the case of Lawrence v. Texas. Basically, this Supreme Court case, according to Wikipedia, stuck down the sodomy law in Texas in a 6-3 ruling, and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in thirteen other states, making same-sex activity legal in every U.S. state and territory. However, as a direct result of this Supreme Court case, America and its leaders now openly support and worship the god of homosexuality in the public arena and in the military, which makes it a characteristic Sodom and Gomorrah nation. Also as a result, there are eighteen states and the District of Columbia that have voted to recognize same-sex marriage, which is one of the major planks in the homosexual platform for legitimizing amoral sexual behavior in the United States.

Ultimately, with a pro-homosexual Supreme Court supporting the homosexual agenda, it makes it much easier for homosexual leaders to achieve their main goal of forcing their agenda down the throats of people who believe that homosexuality is a sinful behavior. However, despite any and all court rulings used by activist judges to force all Americans to condone homosexuality, true Bible-believing Christians would never accept it as an alternative sexual orientation. Of course, Christians who do not believe that the whole Bible is the inspired Word of God would accept this lie, a lie which is being propitiated by the three branches of government in the United States.
