Innovation Agenda: a Commitment to Competitiveness to Keep America Number One

Damn. Even when making the TITLE for an agenda, they have to be wordy. I got confused in the agenda trying to read the title.

[frogjerk]

Our goal is energy independence, and we intend to achieve it within ten years.

Then stop voting against ANWR and the building of new refineries. Then stop pandering to the envirofacists like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club..."

[hang 'em]

Entrepreneurial Marxism... now there's a concept.

[frogjerk]

But they warned that the commitment of the public sector has not kept pace with America's challenges in the global economy.

Here comes the tax hike!

[funkywbr]

So what's the agenda?

I was around in the 70s.

We're still using Gas.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Please pass this along , spread the word.

Hi ncountylee


I got a very interesting article from another Freeper that exposes the lies of the Democrats/Liberals/MSM and those of the " Political Correctness " crowd.
I told Freeper ( defconw ) that I will do my best to help spread the word, and send this to as many people as I can.
We need to organize now to counter the Liberals lies, Democrats lies, MSM lies, not only the lies that they are trowing at President Bush and his administation, but, against all Conservatives/Republicans, and most important, those who love America.
We need to shout this from the roof tops.
Please send this to as many people as you can.

Unmasking Political Correctness by William S. Lind


In this edition, Paul Weyrich refers to
"cultural Marxism."
He asked me, as Free Congress Foundation's resident historian, to write this column explaining what cultural Marxism is and where it came from.
In order to understand what something is and what to do about it, you have to know its history.
Cultural Marxism is a branch of western Marxism, different from the Marxism-Leninism of the old Soviet Union.
It is commonly known as
( "multiculturalism" or, less formally, Political Correctness. )
From its beginning, the promoters of cultural Marxism have known they could be more effective if they concealed the Marxist nature of their work, hence the use of terms such as
"multiculturalism."
Cultural Marxism began not in the 1960s but in 1919, immediately after World War I.
Marxist theory had predicted that in the event of a big European war, the working class all over Europe would rise up to overthrow capitalism and create communism.
But when war came in 1914, that did not happen. When it finally did happen in Russia in 1917, workers in other European countries did not support it.
What had gone wrong?
Independently, two Marxist theorists, Antonio Gramsci in Italy and Georg Lukacs in Hungary, came to the same answer: Western culture and the Christian religion had so blinded the working class to its true, Marxist class interest that Communism was impossible in the West until both could be destroyed.
In 1919, Lukacs asked, "Who will save us from Western civilization?"
That same year, when he became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun government in Hungary, one of Lukacs's first acts was to introduce sex education into Hungary's public schools.
He knew that if he could destroy the West's traditional sexual morals, he would have taken a giant step toward destroying Western culture itself.
In 1923, inspired in part by Lukacs, a group of German Marxists established a think tank at Frankfurt University in Germany called the Institute for Social Research.
This institute, soon known simply as the Frankfurt School, would become the creator of cultural Marxism.
To translate Marxism from economic into cultural terms, the members of the Frankfurt School - - Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Wilhelm Reich, Eric Fromm and Herbert Marcuse, to name the most important - - had to contradict Marx on several points.
They argued that culture was not just part of what Marx had called society's "superstructure," but an independent and very important variable.
They also said that the working class would not lead a Marxist revolution, because it was becoming part of the middle class, the hated bourgeoisie.
Who would?
( In the 1950s, Marcuse answered the question: a coalition of blacks, students, feminist women and homosexuals. )
Fatefully for America, when Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, the Frankfurt School fled - - and reestablished itself in New York City.
There, it shifted its focus from destroying traditional Western culture in Germany to destroying it in the United States.
To do so, it invented
"Critical Theory."
What is the theory?
( To criticize every traditional institution, starting with the family, brutally and unremittingly, in order to bring them down. )
It wrote a series of
( "studies in prejudice," which said that anyone who believes in traditional Western culture is prejudiced, a "racist" or "sexist" of "fascist" - - and is also mentally ill. )
Most importantly, the Frankfurt School crossed Marx with Freud, taking from psychology the technique of psychological conditioning.
( Today, when the cultural Marxists want to do something like "normalize" homosexuality, they do not argue the point philosophically. )
They just beam television show after television show into every American home where the only normal-seeming white male is a homosexual (the Frankfurt School's key people spent the war years in Hollywood).
After World War II ended, most members of the Frankfurt School went back to Germany.
But Herbert Marcuse stayed in America.
He took the highly abstract works of other Frankfurt School members and repackaged them in ways college students could read and understand.
In his book "Eros and Civilization," he argued that by freeing sex from any restraints, we could elevate the pleasure principle over the reality principle and create a society with no work, only play (Marcuse coined the phrase, "Make love, not war").
Marcuse also argued for what he called
( "liberating tolerance," which he defined as tolerance for all ideas coming from the Left and intolerance for any ideas coming from the Right. )
In the 1960s, Marcuse became the chief "guru" of the New Left, and he injected the cultural Marxism of the Frankfurt School into the baby boom generation, to the point where it is now America's state ideology.
( The future goal of conservatism must include unmasking multiculturalism and political correctness and tell the American people what they really are: cultural Marxism. )
( Its goal remains what Lukacs and Gramsci set in 1919: destroying Western culture and the Christian religion. )
It has already made vast strides toward that goal.
( But if the average American found out that political correctness is a form of Marxism, different from the Marxism of the Soviet Union but Marxism nonetheless, it would be in trouble. )
( The next conservatism needs to reveal the man behind the curtain - - old Karl Marx himself. )

Another smokescreen to cover the true agenda -- The "Critical Theory" of Cultural Marxism.

[ncountylee]

Thank you, going to site to review.

[faithincowboys]

Did George Lakoff come up with that... why the Rats are wasting their effing money.

[Reaganesque]

I read the article and their "innovations" are: Spend money and get the government more involved in the Private Sector. The only thing new about their plan is the reasoning they use in justifying their same old plan. Once again, instead of new thinking, they have basically ripped the cover page off of their playbook and replaced it with a new, fancier cover page. My cats innovate more than Liberals and that's just in their litterbox.

[Kozak]

Let me guess. Tax the Rich. More spending. More federal programs. More pork for Unions. More pork for selected special interests. No accountability. No personal responsibility.

[Torie]

To create a new generation of innovators, our agenda calls for a qualified teacher in every math and science K-12 classroom and we issue a 'call to action' to engineers and scientists to join the ranks of America's teachers

Good luck, unless you are going to pay them more, a lot more. Also, the kids need to be able to read first.

[Tarpon]

ummm, I don't think you get it. Energy independence is going to be achieved by you and the rest of us, riding a bicycle.

[ncountylee]

You get the cigar (unused).

[Personal Responsibility]

We will graduate 70,000 engineers this year. India will graduate 350,000 engineers, while China will graduate 600,000.

Someone should remind Ms. Pelosi that both China and India have a considerably higher population than the US does. From what I can see, our graduate numbers are about in line with the population percentage differences.

Of course, that does not make for good sound bites so she will safely ignore that fact.

[genghis]

if we could tap the gas coming out of this windbag
we would be "energy indupendent" today.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Pelosi wouldn't know an agenda if it banged her all night long.
