Modernity, The Child Of The Enlightenment, Failed

Conservatives . . . May Decide To Join The Game And Seek Activist Judges With Conservative Views. Should That Come To Pass, Those Who Have Tempted The Courts To Political Judging Will Have Gained Nothing For Themselves But Will Have Destroyed A Great And Essential Institution. . . . There Are Only Two Sides. Either The Constitution And Statutes Are Law, Which Means Their Principles Are Known And Control Judges, Or They Are Malleable Texts That Judges May Rewrite To See That Particular Groups Or Political Causes Win.

[the Current Governing Judicial Philosophy Is:] If You Want Something Passionately Enough, It Is Guaranteed By The Constitution. No Need To Fiddle Around Gathering Votes From Recalcitrant Citizens.

The Major Obstacle To A Religious Renewal Is The Intellectual Classes, Who Are Highly Influential And Tend To View Religion As Primitive Superstition. They Believe That Science Has Left Atheism As The Only Respectable Intellectual Stance.

There Can Be No Doubt That The Systematic Hostility Of The Courts To Religion Has Lowered The Prestige Of Religion In The Public Mind.

There Is No Single Grand Strategy. Just As The New Left Abandoned An Overarching Program And Became A Series Of Like-minded Groups Advancing Area By Area, So It Must Counterattacked Area By Area.
