Liberals have no appreciation for mankind & the world. Where a normal person might look and find something to take pride in, liberals will only see problems and troubles. Where others see achievement, liberals see excess.
Now, apply all of this to the original, granddaddy of all Marxist programs for the destruction of the family unit; namely mandatory education for the young, especially through public tax-supported schools! It’s obvious, that it becomes an argument against it.
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE COLLECTIVIST WALL
Liberals have no appreciation for mankind & the world. Where a normal person might look and find something to take pride in, liberals will only see problems and troubles. Where others see achievement, liberals see excess.
Where a normal person might go to the market and wonder at the abundance & dazzling panoply of choices before him, a liberal will see American exploitation. While a driver might contemplate the array of cars on the road to transport millions to work in relative comfort, a liberal will see only sources of air pollution. The excesses only apply to others’, not their own, of course. It goes on.
I have never found a set of principles that guide them. Their lives revolve around finding solutions to problems that exist and if there are no problems, they invent them.
Case in point. I well remember Hillary appearing on television, The Today Show I think, during the Clinton presidency hawking her solution to a day care crisis. She told of a ‘silent crisis’ across the country. It was so silent I had never heard of it & I suspect few others had at the time. But nevertheless, Hillary said it was a crisis and we had to solve it. You see, there is no such thing as leaving people to solve their own problems. They might think they don’t need government.
I recently did a web search on daycare and came to a piece in The Washington Post from May of 2016. It spotlighted one of Hillary’s campaign trips to Kentucky. The article mentioned a woman named Jennifer who pays more than $2,500. monthly for day care for her two sons. Further, the article went on, “In every state in the country, child care for two kids now costs more than the average rent.”
There were many more links to articles but I only followed a few. Perhaps Hillary’s warning back twenty years ago alerted all of liberaldom to this emerging disaster but I suspect there’s more to it than that.
My reaction was, “Isn’t this a great entrepreneurial opportunity for someone to develop a cheaper alternative? “ At about $583 a week, that seems to be fertile ground for a free market solution. Get four sets of parents as customers and that’s a decent starter income for a business. And if one hasn’t happened, who’s asleep at the wheel?
And, in this case, doesn’t it become an inverse argument for non-working motherhood or is that too horrifying for the liberal mind to contemplate? Where is the father? Is Jennifer divorced? If so, did she take that into consideration before the divorce and doesn’t that then become an argument for keeping the family intact? And why should taxpayers have to subsidize this whole thing which is, in so many ways, a multitude of voluntary & personal decisions? And it raises similar questions for all those other families across the country.
But there is even more than that. You have to realize that as women moved from the home into the work place, they became wage earners and, more importantly, taxpayers. A new income to tax. They became the source of more funds for the government. A bonanza!
But wait, there was also the cost that the mother or parents had to pay the people who provided the daycare service. The daycare people also had an income to tax. So from no income to tax, there were suddenly two. This was a windfall for the federal government and then windfalls for the states that enacted income taxes. No wonder Hillary & her progressives want to ensure that women remain in the work force! Like everything governmental, it comes down to money.
But there is even more. It is the Marxist goal to make the government the centerpiece of all life. A major obstacle is the family unit which therefore would best be destroyed. By providing government assistance, it makes it even easier. Progressives will never say it directly, that would be a sure fire loser, but they want to replace the family with the government. Remember an original progressive, Benito Mussolini’s adage, “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Daycare helps do just that.
Years back, a Swedish socialist stated that it was a goal to eliminate the family dinner as an obstruction to their collectivist goals. Some of the people behind this movement are advocating mandatory schooling beginning at the age of four and even three! Take the child away from the family even earlier. This dovetails with that Marxist goal.
There is a downside to daycare, that neither Hillary nor other progressives will ever discuss. There is mounting evidence that the amount of time the young spend in daycare is directly related to increased anxiety, increased aggression along with poor social skills, poor work habits & impulse control and later more frequent substance abuse! These things are similar to the undeniable problems of the one-parent, poverty stricken children, which also in its turn is directly associated with the progressive welfare state!
Now, apply all of this to the original, granddaddy of all Marxist programs for the destruction of the family unit; namely mandatory education for the young, especially through public tax-supported schools! It’s obvious, that it becomes an argument against it.
Education and its derivative functions, including daycare, school meals, bus service, sex education, etc., were all matters that traditionally lay in the province of the family. It is the goal of progressives to usurp those. In the process, it destroys families. Nothing outside the state.
Those derivative functions were added stepwise. Daycare is just the latest. Lunches were the first school meals. Breakfasts have now been added. All expand and all take the place of the parents.
This entire subject remains taboo & will remain taboo in the liberal dominated media and academic worlds! Inherent in it is the destruction of the family. None of them will say it outright because it would be soundly rejected by the American people and most of the people of the world. Many of them are unaware of it but some are.
It is too much to actually address but it fits right in with Vladimir Ulyanov Lenin’s famous description of various fellow travelers, useful idiots. You see Lenin, like Mussolini, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler, another progressive idol and Mao Zedong, despised the ordinary man. Today’s progressives still do. For confirmation see Hillary’s description of her opponents as deplorables and Barack Obama’s of rural Pennsylvanians as clinging to their religions and guns. It was a disparaging comment.
It all makes sense when taken as a whole. With daycare, the government winds up with one or two more sources of funds in income taxes and it can destabilize the family, an obstacle to the omnipotent state.
Progressivism is the religion of the state or government. In its ultimate forms, communism, national socialism and fascism, government takes over not just the functions of the family but becomes the people’s God. Daycare is another brick in the wall.
Mission accomplished.
Old news! Now they want them at birth: Connecticut Birth to Three System
Public school teachers are much more likely to be liberal than society as a whole. School policies have shifted left over the recent past and will probably continue. I have heard teaching is an occupation dominated by the white female demographic. Coupled with the liberal ideology most have, this sounds like a great way to have little Johnny grow up to be a proud libtard in the future.
If you send your kids to public schools, don’t be surprised if they adopt the values you personally oppose.
Conservatives probably don’t want to teach. If they,give their views or tell the truth they are listed as bigots homophobes ect. That’s the way the drive all of the opposing teachers away, so they can indoctrinate the children. The school system is a communist enclave.
Liberals want to corral our children into what are effectively indoctrination centers. Then, having them in a captive and submissive audience, shape young minds with an incessant bombardment of liberal propaganda. Basically brainwashing without parental awareness or permission.
Its the way liberals work. They are elitists who think only they are intellectually and morally qualified to run society. We have to push back on them at every turn. Don’t let them get a foothold on anything.
I stayed home with my children till the last graduated high school. I didn’t home school because that wasn’t a thing then. Instead I was at the school volunteering nearly everyday and so was able to counter much of the garbage they were fed.
They are hard working conservative adults who question everything they hear and see and read.
We gave up a lot by that choice but no car, house, or vacation was worth giving them over to others to raise.
An important pint here. The work a woman does in the home has considerable economic value. They actually create considerable wealth. However, since it isn't wage work, it can't be taxed. Driving women out of the home, by whatever means, brings the wealth they create within the reach of the tax collector.
Yup. Your kids belong to us. It Takes a Village. .
