Ever wonder why woke people hate America so much?

It's a matter of what they've been taught.

"No one ever washes a rented car." This old cliché explains much of what is happening in both politics and society today.

The entire CRT/BLM/wokist sentiment in the country — epitomized by what is happening in a sizable majority of high school and college classrooms — highlights what is arguably the most dangerous issue currently facing America: we are raising — encouraging, even! — an entire generation of people who feel no ownership of, loyalty to, or obligation to the country in which they live.

The woke movement is the predominant force driving the social and political narrative these days. To begin with, the crazy, out-of-control wokist revisionist curriculum and history that both students and their parents have to deal with today would have been unimaginable just a short generation ago. Never in our collective history has such a sizable segment of the population espoused such self-loathing, anti-American thoughts as today's misguided woke Progressives. The irony of their unrecognized privilege that allows them the freedom to criticize the society they live in from a safe and comfortable vantage point is too obvious to bother pointing out.

The professor announced to the students, "I will not accept anything on your papers from news sources that I consider biased, unreliable, or based on opinion instead of verifiable fact. Nothing citing Fox News, Newsmax or the N.Y. Post is acceptable. For current news sources, only the N.Y. Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, and CNN will be considered as trustworthy and credible." These are sources that are solidly in favor of CRT, the 1619 Project, and BLM.

Marxism excepted all else is a fail grade.

Whatever happened to Kennedy’s words: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”?

The Progressive Leftist Retards like AOC, "the squad", Bernie, Fauxahontas and others would drive him right out of the party were he alive today.

“The entire education establishment needs to be redone”

You mean “blown up”, right?

There is always the 64k question... Who’s going to do it?

“”I will not accept anything on your papers from news sources that I consider biased,”

Said the biased and arrogant professor. His bias is the only acceptabld bias.

“Ever wonder why woke people hate America so much?”

It’s a psychiatric thing. Actually, what they hate is themselves (and with good reason). Since subconcosiouly that is unacceptable they project the hate outwards.

I think it's worse than that. They are in fact being taught to HATE America.

[NormsRevenge]

It’s the result of years of mental conditioning aka brainwashing.

From the print media to pixels dancing on TV screens, from rap music to sick nouveau art.. The Devil reaps a steady harvest of mush for brains followers.

*That* is the right question.

Jewish History
Creation of Celestial Bodies (3760 BCE)

Today is the fourth day of Creation, when G‑d created the sun, moon, and stars.

Many hate US because the King in JerUSAlem is the proverbial bull in a China shop.

Here's Buck singing about Sam's Place.

And don't miss that song about What a liar I AM, because it's the national instrument of Israel.

See why the holy tongue is a language called Punish, so that everyone will know it by one way or the other?

Because if the holy tongue weren't so full of holes by its very nature, nobody would get out alive!

Ingenuity's name of affection is Ginny. On the first line, the Hebrew Wikipedia page informs US that Ginny is the "living name", B"H. [שם חי ב"ה]

What the Chet:

The image of “hovering” appears at the very beginning of Creation: “And the spirit of God was ‘hovering’ over the water.” ...The Sages teach us that the “Spirit of God” here referred to is in fact the soul of Mashiach (which permutes to shem chai, “the living name”).

Pretty pictures. Ingenious! This place has everything, country charm every which way!

God Bless America.

That's enough to scare the bejesus out of People.

And don't miss the coin of "ten" placed on, no drilled into the top of the rock named Rochette, because what's all in a name? Plumb the depths. Rochette, Rochelle, Rachel..

Perseverance for the win! It's the secret hiding in plain sight in the wine.

Think of me when you're lonely
Think of me when you're blue
Think of me when you're far away
Or I'll be thinking of you

Of the books your wife painted, I have not read Witness or Dune, though I have read three books by Frank Herbert.

[rlmorel]

Witness was, for me, the most politically consequential book I have ever read.

Whittaker Chambers showed the country, in a national spectacle, that we had real communists in this country, and at high levels like Alger Hiss.

There were so many ramifications from this encounter between Chambers and Hiss, the one of the most important ones was the political and character assassination of Richard Nixon some decades later. The Left never forgave him for his important role in outing Alger Hiss and showing the world he was lying about his Soviet connections.

And Chambers, through his confrontation with Hiss, paved the way for another American hero, Joseph McCarthy, to make Communism unfashionable and unpalatable for another few decades, but...we now see what happened when the work that Chambers and McCarthy did (in their own spheres, they were not working together in any way) faded away, and the stigma of being a communist disappeared.

We have Communists in our government now. Unbelievable, but true. They are proud, outspoken, and unrepentant.

There was another thing about Witness that really turned the worm for me as a Conservative: seeing the tactics of the Left acted out in their coordination of government (the Truman Administration and the Department of Justice) with a willing and compliant media to attempt to slander Whittaker Chambers, which they tried hard to do, working in unison.

The only villain missing between 1949 and today was a rogue FBI. In those days, the FBI under Hoover was still trying to warn this nation about the Communist threats that were seeping into all levels of government, and it was still ostensibly protecting Americans. The FBI was on our side then.

The reason it had such an effect on me was that the behavior was no different than what we see in the Left today...seeing it laid out like Chambers did in his book validated how I feel about the Left today. They still operate the same way, with the same tactics.

The government working in tandem with the media to torpedo someone who was inconvenient.

A Department of Justice attempting to paint the whistleblower (Chambers) as a mentally ill pervert who had homosexual fantasies about his dead brother who had committed suicide as a young boy. I am not making this up. This is what they did. It is public record.

But they were doing it to protect Hiss and all the Soviet agents who had wormed their way into the Democrat party. This was a Democrat issue. There were no Republicans involved in this crap, except those who were playing the part of RINO in those days, and they did have them. The Democrats did all they could to sink Chambers and protect Hiss, because he was "one of them". Astonishing but true.

Interestingly, the first time I read the book, I thought it was about a Soviet spy and his interaction with the mechanisms of the American Government.

The second time I read the book, I saw the bigger picture of the struggle between totalitarianism/atheism/communism and the American Experiment.

The third time I read it, it was all those things, but I realized it was about Whittaker Chambers as a Man, and his search to find God.

The book is, in the end, about all of those things, but Chambers and his search for God, resulting in his break from Communism and his unbelievable courage in standing in public against his former allies and the Soviets, all of whom wanted him dead. Whittaker Chambers is a most unlikely hero. Extremely articulate, but no pedigree, was not handsome, didn't go to the right schools, wore dowdy clothes, was a farmer when not writing for a living, and...he had bad teeth.

The opposite of everything Alger Hiss was, and still...the truth came out and Hiss went to jail.

In the trial, when Alger Hiss, on the stand, was confronted with the evidence from the "Pumpkin Papers" that showed the stolen classified documents stolen from military/government sources that Hiss retyped so he could return the documents before they were flagged as missing were a product of his father-in-law's typewriter (as document comparisons showed) he said from the stand something this ridiculous: "I will never know how Alger Hiss got into my house to use my typewriter create these documents." It was a risible statement, that caused people in the courtroom to begin snickering and laughing aloud, and Hiss was done. He was lying, and Mason Perry-like on the stand, gave an answer that showed normal people watching that he was lying on the face of it.

It is hard to read it and believe it actually happened. If you haven't read it, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thank you for the enlightenment provide. I had no idea.

You are most welcome, notted...

[Freee-dame]

I have not read “Witness” either. It is not in my local library as I guess it is out of print. I am going to try to purchase a copy so that I can have it to pass on to my grandchildren after I have read it.

*Had to make a correction*

[rlmorel]

For a few years, I had the text of Whittaker Chambers' famous and moving "Letter to My Children" on my personal web page which I linked to often here on Free Republic. It was the foreword to Witness, and even though the link I provide here is, from my memory, truncated, it gives flavor.

The grandson of Whittaker Chambers contacted me, and very politely asked me to remove the letter from my FreepPage and my personal web page, which I did. (Due to copyright issues, which I accepted as a reasonable request on the part of his family)

Unfortunately, I was unable to figure out how to get it off my personal web page. I did it multiple times and tested it, but...for some reason, it kept re-appearing!

He would politely repeat his request, and abashed, I would explain I was trying, but...it wasn't working. Eventually, I nuked the entire site, it wasn't any good anyway. I am sure he thought he was dealing with a simpleton...but he was very polite and patient, which I apprediated!

As you can see from my FreepPage, Whittaker Chambers is a hero to me. He stood up to be counted, and he knew full well in advance what the treatment of him was going to be. Yet he did it anyway.

If you want a good summary of the trial, you can read a good one here: The Trials of Alger Hiss: An Account

[7thson]

Thank you for what you wrote. I have Witness in my library and it is way past time that I read it.

You make a statement concerning the RINOs of the time. I thought of something not long ago concerning the Communists infiltrating the Democrat Party. People tend to think they did not infiltrate the Republican Party. I am beginning to think they did to the extent that they were the "RINOs" - a few of them sprinkled here and there to always give the Dems the benefit of the doubt and to provide the vote or two that would be needed to pass certain legislation. Just a working thought/theory.
