Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Peer Review and the Founding Fathers of the United States

     Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and the Founding Fathers

      What does Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn of Russia have to do with the Founding Fathers?  There are those in academia of the United States and Europe who will not look at the evidence of the Christian worldview of the Founding Fathers.  They will simply give the regurgitated phrases thinking that we are birds that like that kind of nourishment.  The mother bird brings back the food she has already eaten and gives it back to her young.  If you want to move on from  the rehashed food of the experts, read the Founding Fathers for yourself.  When someone tries to show the Christian worldview, the people with academic clout do not appreciate such "nonsense."

     In the current academic climate, there is no room for discussion of the Founding Fathers.  How many universities offer classes on the principles of the Founding Fathers?  Scarce few offer classes and when they do it usually comes with venom disparaging the Founders as white slave holders, bourgeois, women haters, etc.  When the term "peer review" comes out, that is supposed to keep the discussion controlled only by people who have earned degrees in institutions that are normally against the Christian worldview of the Founders.

     In the days of the Soviet Union, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote many books describing the history of gulag prison camps.  Did he receive any government grants to carry out his research?  Did the universities in the Soviet Union allow him to teach such classes?  What would peer review be like for Mr. Solzhenitsyn? Would he have been interviewed on the evening news and allowed to express his opinion? Imagine the press going after him and the authors of those hate filled letters attacking him would have been appreciated by the Communist party members.  They would get more party favors by attacking him.

     In a country that was powered by the Protestants/Whigs there are zero evangelical Protestants on the Supreme Court. I praise God for the conservative Catholics that are standing for truth in the Supreme Court but evangelical Protestants cannot even get one out of nine slots?  Of the first 150 universities in our nation, 149 were started by Christians.  What do we have now?  In a nation that had non-sectarian prayer and Bible reading to start the day, we have thrown God out of the public schools for over 50 years.  Do not pity God!  He is in control.  Pity us for what we are bringing on ourselves and our children.  We have not been perfect, neither were the people of the Bible. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).  We sinners in this country had the best of the imperfect governments but we have thrown aside our dependence on God.
