1010RD: "We just need that to go viral starting with kindergartners all the way through 40-somethings."
Our basic problems come from definitions of the word "conservative."
In America, "conservative" means someone who wants to "conserve" or "preserve" the original intent of the US Constitution and our Founders. This makes us small-government, small-r republicans who, under some circumstances can seem almost "isolationists."
In Europe, by contrast, "conservative" meant (and often today means) something altogether different -- someone who wants to "conserve" or "preserve" the old monarchical traditions of state control and foreign conquests. In other words, an entirely different animal.
So the Nazis -- National Socialists! -- claimed to be "right wing" based on their supposed adherence to "traditional values," but these were in no way the values of American conservatives, just the opposite.
Our own left-wingers, of course, just love to confuse and conflate American and European ideas of "conservatism," and so paint Nazis as "right-wing conservatives" just the same as, oh say, WWII era isolationist Senator Robert Taft, or for a modern example, say, Congressman Ron Paul. Nothing could be further from the truth.
But what could "truth" matter to government school teachers, when the real issue to them is, how to turn all these little minds into loyal leftists?
