I am buying travel tickets to Australia soon, I don’t think I will be coming back, I’m just saying my ultimate dream all my life was to visit Australia, I’m 55, my children are adults. My job of 17 years is boring.
I think America has become like a block of cheese in a dead refrigerator. I don’t have any idea how to fix it all by myself and there isn’t anybody asking for a patriot army, so its kinda like being on a cruise ship that is being piloted by a showboater that won;t tell the passengers he just gutted the ship wide open.
Yup!
“Otherizing”? That’s a new one!
You’ve never heard that term?
That’s one of the classic leftist newspeak terms.
They also call it “othering”.
It means to point out how a person or group is different from the accepted norm.
It’s a FREEDOM thing, Obama...you wouldn’t understand.
Yes, and every one of our candidates needs to run this as often as possible.
Interesting analysis.
Long past time to take off the gloves.
I understand the lib-gressives having the daddy issues, but what is up with the repubs who go along with them? Or do nothing to stop them?
Education. We adopted the Prussian education system of indoctrination which creates mass conformity of “thinking”.
In Metaxas’s book on Bonheoffer he writes: “She (mother of Dietrich) was openly distrustful of the German public schools and their Prussian educational methods. She subscribed to the maxim that Germans had their backs broken twice, once at school and once in the military; she wasn’t about to entrust her children to the care of others less sensitive than she during their earliest years.” She was the sole education in her children’s formative years—until 8 years.
We have been told to give up our children to strangers to raise at tender ages—while worldview is being formed. No longer is character and virtue controlled by those who love children—and they don’t form the type of character that was normal in the US when kids did not go to “school” until at least 7 years of age. Too old to warp as easily as when John Dewey (socialist) wanted mass conformity in the US Prussian adopted system-—he wanted the “plastic minds” to shape their worldview.
Plus we have the subtle brainwashing—items inserted into all media—(leftist secularism) which demeans anything connected with Christian Ethics.
We have “Republicans” who have been influenced by agitprop for their whole life-—which undermines not only moral character-—but rationalizes evil—and normalizes it.
Logic is destroyed in the public school system with cognitive dissonance (lies). and as adults, there is no reason and logic. Irrational thinking like Clintons-—it depends what is is——”homosexual” “marriage” is a right because sodomy is good. If you don’t conform to one view—you are belittled, marginalized and/or laughed at by not only the teacher, but your peers. It makes you “shut up” if you differ. Mass conformity-—curricula designed by Marxists like billy ayers-—and there is ACORN and OWS mobs. They can’t think. They are ideologues who can’t process facts.
It is just the inability to think after years of listening to lies. An ex-KGB talks about the inability of people to think after years of propaganda and the communist infiltration of our curricula decades ago-—you can’t think even if the truth hits you on the nose. Not only that-—Prussian schools lead to mob psychology-—mass conformity and this humiliation if one disagrees with the mob.....The humiliation of those who “think outside the box” starts in kindergarten or preschool——this subtle humiliation inherent in the Prussian system makes Good People silent. They are afraid to NOT be liked by the mob—or unpopular.
It is what happened to the Churches in Nazi Germany-—people did not speak up against evil——they would have been demonized and harassed-—they didn’t want to bother-—the fight was drilled out of them in the Prussian school system.
.
And weren’t you and I et al Blessed to escape the brainwashing. How as children did we know the truth or at least to question (even if only in our minds) what we were being taught....truly a Miracle that some of us made it out.
The one thing that never ever made sense to me and what I believe made me into a conservative, was that no one, parent, teacher etc. could explain to me why it was against the law to kill a person, but ok to kill a baby.
That simple but complete reverence for ALL life is what kept me on the narrow path.

I never attended Public Schools until college-—and by then, I was really resistant to their messages and “wisdom”. In fact, I dropped out of college. My parents were German who were extremely analytical and rational and filled with the Common Sense of experiencing every type of hardship and having the wisdom of learning that you have to take responsibility for your life and children. My father went to mass every Sunday up until his death at 87.
I just was raised to do things that were necessary for a good life until it was habituated. It is what the Founders did —and the following generations while the Protestant Work Ethic and Values lasted-—until the schools dumped them by the 60’s and preached irresponsibility and hatred for any ideas of White Dead Men. The vile bible of Marx-—to divide and destroy knowledge was in full bloom. Alan Bloom’s book, The Closing of the American Mind—outlines the loss of intellectual wisdom—it was intentionally destroyed by our public school system along with the destruction of values and morality.
Destroying the family (90 % of prisoners were in single family homes)—this was understood by Marxists-—destroy the family and you destroy the next generation and reduce their IQ and morality. We have a bunch of idiots now who are running everything. They are ideologues with twisted grasp of reality and no virtue—who will sell out their own family.
