Thanks Dr. Paugh. What is it that makes the "fellow travelers" accept their place in society while the so called leaders live in the lap of luxury. Think the castro boys, chavez, mao et al who claim to be all in for the proletariat but sip sweet nectar while the masses starve? Are the peons that stupid or that naive?

I think we have a lot of examples closer to home. Turdle, Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein...

It's the trifecta of socialism, globalism and crony capitalism that had gotten very comfortable being in control of the whole place.

This destruction is like those done by Bolsheviks and Mao’s Red Guard.

Berkeley University is named after a slave owner.

What’s so comical that it is tragic is that the left is more or less utterly blind to their cultural Marxist underpinnings. They do not realize that their function is only to cause the end of the civilization, not to inhabit the revolutionary world so many dream of (where their excess of madness wouldn’t be tolerated).

No where is this truth about them clearer than when we consider how easily that the Islamist have got them to dance for them, how eagerly the left works on behalf of people who will eventually either lop off their heads, stone them, or throw them off of roofs.

It reminds me a lot of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, where people had to put on dunce caps, be tied and then paraded around the city with a crime placard strung around their necks, where people had public self-criticism sessions.

Where the best bet for one’s personal security was to denounce others and to out radical the next radical.

some of the Hallmarks are definitely there and that points to a bad Direction.

They say some of the best cultural artifacts of China are actually in Taiwan because the red guards and communists who stated they aspired for Chinese advancement showed considerable Zeal destroying the artifacts of Chinese history.

A lot of these Chinese things seem somehow familiar Here and Now.

It is instructive to note that the Chinese Cultural Revolution was initiated by Mao principally because he felt he was about to be sidelined.

in other words that it was all a huge distraction that had the aim of preserving his own personal rule.

Speaking of Common Core, I haven’t studied it in-depth, but the glimpses of it I’ve seen gave me the impression that it favors the very bright over the somewhat-bright, the average student, and the slow student. It seems intended to create a society comprised of a highly-proficient elite and a mass of half-educated drones to serve them.
