It’s the dumbing-down of the population and indoctrination on steroids. It’s Soviet Union tactics brought to the U.S. and it’s being done by those that many people look up to, just like in the old Soviet Union.

Problem is that, with the liberals and their control of the education system, it’s likely to have the effects which they hope to get with people that don’t know any better and with those that are willing to accept what’s put in front of them, no questions asked.

When a person in authority in a university hands out an assignment for reading, the students have to go along, no matter how much the material is biased, because, their grades depend on it. That is forced indoctrination, and though some will see through the bias, others will just accept the content at face value, and that’s where the dangers is, and the professors are counting on that.

So I'm going into work this morning. Blurb on the radio says that "A Survey says that 26% of people think the sun revolves around the earth, rather than the other way 'round."

Granted, it's morning talk radio and hardly concrete scientific evidence. But it didn't surprise me, either.

Appears that a lot of youngsters have already been “taught” that self dependance/reliance is bad. Teams are “everything” and without being part of one there is no chance of succeeding. WRONG! Sometimes, you gotta do things on your own. It would be easier if you had some help but sometimes, it just isn’t available. Besides, you didn’t do that. Nope. Somebody else did that for you. Sheesh. Thank God there are still parents out there that teach their kids that being responsible for your self and actions is THE basic principle. One of my former work buddies used to tell us his Dad always told him: “Don, ain’t nobody out there that really gives a s*** about you. Take care of your self first.” LOL!

Walter Cronkite was able to lie and undermine our success with the Tet Offensive for the same reasons the Soviets could “rewrite history.”

Now we live in the information age. We can fight back but there’s one problem. How many are willing to do so?
