You have to almost, not admire, but respect the cynicism of the Soviets. They are incredibly shrewd, and they have their eyes wide open in what they do. Here in America, so many of us are like children. Sheeple is truly the word for it. Lacking any sort of appreciation for the devious nature of totalitarianism, the limits of human progress, the necessity of a moral code that is above gubmint power. The need to be vigilant. It’s all completely lacking, probably due to the subversion of our schools and our media outlets.

Hitting the nail on the head with that statement.

Sad thing is Americans go into debt to send their kids to get brainwashed in our colleges -- I have seen it happen with one of my brothers girls --other two brothers kids are conservative
