What a splendid essay, dearest sister in Christ! Thank you so much for sharing it!

And they didn’t regard mankind as cattle that needed masters for their own good….

Your allegory contrasts beautifully between the Constitution written by the framers and the Living Constitution of the progressives.

Indeed, should the public become as mindless as cattle, the Constitution would no longer be effective for their governance.

The reason progressives have long sought (and succeeded) to degrade the public school system...
Which is WHY? they instituted federally controlled public schools..
AND were very successful...

Making “Animal Farm”(the book) a reality and no fiction...
By and large americans have become cattle(NOW).. farmed, milked, and slaughtered... “processed”..

VOTER FRAUD.. is a side issue and not worthy of “REVOLT”..
Most americans seem to have become PIGS..
Sausage is processed DAILY!..

Indeed. And yet it is noteworthy that "progressive education" of the John Dewey school (learned from the Germans, from Hegel on up) is devoted to transforming the rising generation of students into "mindless cattle," by depriving them of all historical memory.

Instead, Dewey's education theory is all about shaping "citizens" into "productive members" of society. Ultimately, the citizen's main contribution to society obtains from their status as workers, and thus taxpayers. Keep them pacified, and collect the receipts. That's the entire interest of the State.

If there is no historical memory, then there's nothing to "conserve," going forward. Conservative thought has no basis whatever, once historical memory is expunged from society.

This sort of thing seems to work very well for the teachers' unions.

We live in a corrupt age. People seem no longer to care about Truth for its own sake.

Much peril comes to us, I suppose, by the sort of mental habits that support such a view of actual reality.

Thank you so very much, dearest sister in Christ, for sharing your thoughts on this matter.
