“Money for nuthin; perks for free.” A whole generation has cut their teeth on that philosophy while we were sleeping, and now their children are being groomed to continue the degrading of American values and way of life.
I’d like to be around when the realization hits about just who has been feeding their sorry carcasses. It’s about time we stopped.
Very well stated, my FRiend. As for “Money for nuthin; perks for free," that really needs to be made into a song if it doesn't already exist. I'd like to crank up the volume on that song exceptionally loud at one of their protests. It's time to out-Alinsky them.

No, I haven’t read it. Thanks for the link! I’ll check it out now. Greatly appreciated!
Those lines hit to the core of why the threats, intimidation and violence occured in Wisconsin. We can expect it to spread as unions and the Left feel their control over the wealth of taxpayer funding slip from their grasp. After witnessing their actions in Wisconsin, we the people are fed up with their tantrums and demands so they can expect "budget repair bills" to spread from state to state.
And Holder and Napolitano should be hot on his a$$ investigating him and his comrades for domestic terrorism!

But, but, but, I want free stuff! I’m entitled to it! Why should I have to work and pay my bills? You’re working, so that’s enough.
Very cool! Thanks for the links. :)
I think they believe once the system is crashed they can "remake" it into their ideal economy. The average citizen is of no concern to them. Throw in a few depopulation efforts and they can have a "manageable" population. The people they're rallying are just useful idiots. They'll be discarded once the leaders achieve their aim.
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
I submit that the battle began decades ago and we are now seeing the beginning of the end game being played out; all right out in the open with a boldness and arrogance all too reminiscent of the past.
A year ago I thought that exposure of this reality and education enough of the US citizenry would be enough to halt this march. It was my opinion that this evil was far too confident and overplaying their hand in a foolish manner. But at this point I have little faith of this being stopped in any timely & meaningful way by our "government." All three branches are have been corrupted. The small handful of patriotic Americans left in the Congress and a few in the Judiciary are simply overwhelmed by the numbers. Our only recourse now is preparation.
There is still time but conservatives **must** act NOW!
We must work mightily to close down our socialist-funded, godless, and collectivist managed government schools. We **must** work to get our nation's children into **private** conservative schools that will fully integrate into every minute of the school day the child's specific Judeo Christian belief and our nation's founding principles.
I submit that the battle began decades ago....
It started in the 19th century when the first modern government schools opened. Modern government schooling was a progressive dream from the beginning. Progressives have always controlled curriculum development and teacher training. John Dewey and his Fabian ilk and all that followed were inevitable.
Of course children will become comfortable with taking money from their neighbor, collectivism, government compulsion, and voting mobs if they attend schools that **are** socialist funded, compulsory, prison-like, and managed by collectivist voting mobs ( school boards).
Woodrow Wilson, the IRS, the federal reserve, direct election of senators, usurpation of large swaths of state land for federal parks, feminism, unions, and FDR's New Deal was inevitable! By then 1 to 3 generations of voters had been indoctrinated in progressivism in their socialist government schools.
I am appalled at how few conservatives fail to realize that political reform will NOT NOT NOT resolve the issue unless we raise up righteous children. That will never happen in socialist schools that began with a generic and lukewarm Protestantism and quickly degenerated into pure godlessness.
by the way,...We know what Christ does with the lukewarm. He spits them out of His mouth.
I am also appalled that there are conservatives that think socialist funded, compulsory, and voter mob regulated schools can be reformed. Unbelievable!
One more thing.....The first government schools were the first socialist program that weakened fatherhood. 19th century socialist schooling removed from fathers their responsibility to educate and train up their children.
The roots of this problem can be traced prior to Dewey:
"In 1852 when the state of Massachusetts pioneered the first program of public education in America, it decided to borrow as its model the Prussian educational system, the then reigning paradigm of educational discipline and efficiency. The designers of the Prussian system did not share Condorcet's concern with teaching children to think for themselves. The German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte, an enthusiastic supporter of the Jacobins during the French Revolution, had been one of the spiritual architects of the Prussian system. Fichte summed up his philosophy of public education by saying: 'If you want to influence [the pupil] at all, you must do more than merely talk to him; you must fashion him, and fashion him in such a way that he simply cannot will otherwise than what you wish him to will. ... The new education must produce this stable and unhesitating will according to a sure and infallible rule.' This method of teaching no doubt produces the kind of orderly discipline necessary for mass education to work at all, and yet it is also the doctrine of education embraced by all subsequent forms of totalitarian government and eerily prophetic of George Orwell's Newspeak."
-- Lee Harris, The Next American Civil War, The Populist Revolt against the Liberal Elite
Yes, indeed! The problem has its roots **prior** to Dewey.
And....I also agree that our socialist, collectivist, and godless government schools will not be abolished soon.
Even here on Free Republic it is discouraging to readb posts from conservatives who think these schools can be reformed or who defend their child's government indoctrination center as being one of the “good” ones.
I agree with you, that system is flawed from it inception in both form & structure; it cannot be satisfactorily "reformed."
