And the greatest threat is?????
Dennis Prager is spot on. I did not see the other clip, but he is a very good writer. He rarely misses the mark. He’s up there with mark Steyn and Thomas Sowell, in my book! When I was in HS, we still learned about our founding and the US Constitution. It seems that this is no longer the case. Had I known, I’d have home-schooled my own children. I find now that they did not learn about it. My kids later told me they wished I’d home-schooled them...and I agree, looking back. With your husband being an educator, though, one takes pause in your decisions because it also sends a message of sorts to the principal about how you view the school.
the greatest threat to the American people to day is the American government.
The problem began with the institution of modern government schooling ( mid-1800s to early 1900s).
— If children are sent to single-payer, compulsory, socialist-entitlement schools, our nation's citizens will learn to be comfortable with socialism. Franklin D. Roosevelt was not an accident. He was the result of one to three generations of citizens learning to be comfortable with socialism in socialist schools!
—Our earliest socialist-entitlement schools forced a generic and lukewarm Protestant worldview on its captive students. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth! The religious worldview was sufficient discordant with Catholic bishops that many started their own tuition-free school systems.
— Our socialist-entitlement schools have been completely godless since the 1960s. Simply to cooperate in the classroom the child must think and reason godlessly. How could it be otherwise?
Only evil can come from a system of indoctrinating children and we are reaping the fruits of it today.
The female voter?
Republican Candidates could improve their Primary vote count by campaigning with the following idea:
Due to the FHA, Fannie and Freddie Bankruptcies of September, 2008, American home owners lost 30 % of the value of their homes. That is a 30 % cut in just one month. Home values are still down 30 %.
Thus, let us cut the total compensation to all elected Federal politicians, and their staffs by 30 %, and an additional 10 % cut to elected Federal politicians each year until Federal Spending is LESS THAN the average of the previous 2 years of Federal income.
BTW, since slightly less than half of the US House, and 2/3 of the US Senate are Millionaires, it will be a great opportunity for Congress to lead by example that EVERYONE should give up their “fair” share of the American Dream.
What better way can there be to demonstrate that Federal politicians are on the same page as the voters?
