People need to understand the direct correlation between the liberal welfare state and exactly the sort of social pathologies TD describes here.
If they did, they would never, ever, elect another Democrat.
Thank you for the post. I see the pattern beginning here as well. For the first time unmarried couples outnumber the married ones. The left continues to spread its disease of destroying the family unit and attempting to institute the social welfare system by which they obtain power.
Distilled into individual behavior and the consequences of that behavior, this has been the best essay on the result.

"The report argues that family breakdown, parental breakdown and peer pressure that it is not "cool to study" are the key factors in the collapse in educational achievements. It also cites drug and alcohol abuse by parents."
"The report also highlights international research which shows that simply throwing more money at the problem will not provide a solution."

It sounds as this unfortunate fellow had stumbled into hell by chance,having gotten off at the wrong stop.
Problem is, leftists don't hold themselves to bourgeouis standards such as non-contradiction, truthfulness or even what might be good. They've built their political fortunes on deceit and in-your-face hypocrisy. What compels them to stop?
My very first post on FR (and the beginning of my learning experience with computers was an excerpt from "People of the Lie" by M Scott Peck
I was comparing the behavior of the Clintons to the people in his book

Book Review: People of the Lie (The Hope for Healing Human Evil) By M. Scott Peck, M.D.
Occasionally,a book is written that transcends normal categories and deserves a category of its own. The book People of the Lie is one such.
While this book is not directly about ritual abuse, the topic it covers, the existence of human evil, is very closely related. The author, Dr. Peck, is a psychiatrist of many years who early in his therapy took the normal psychological approach to his clients. But over the years, as he was confronted with both the best and basest in human nature, he believed that a new diagnosis should be created for the DSM: the category of evil.
This is a bold approach for a clinically –based doctor of psychiatry to take. To state that in his professional opinion, and based on his contact with certain patients (or their parents), that a true diagnosis of evil can be made.
He uses case studies to underline his argument. These studies are clear, recognizable, and include one man who made a pact with the devil (then later took it back at Peck’s urging), two children with emotionally brutal parents whom Peck considered candidates for this diagnosis, and others.
I believe that this book is worth reading for the ritual abuse survivor for this one classic paragraph alone: To come to terms with evil in one’s parentage is perhaps the most difficult and painful psychological task a human being can be called on to face. Most fail and so remain its victims. Those who fully succeed in developing the necessary, searing vision are those who are able to name it. For to “come to terms” means to “arrive at the name (evil).” As therapists, it is our duty to do what is in our power to assist evil’s victims to arrive at the true name of their affliction.”
This is the emotional task that every victim of generational occult abuse must also face, and try to work through in therapy. If only every therapist understood the reality of evil, the capability that can work through parents to children, as Peck so clearly does.
Peck goes on to delineate the face of evil, to show what evil looks like. His contention is that evil does not often look like what we expect; those who are most evil will often appear most “together” or wholesome at first glance. The picture he draws of evil people is all too familiar to the child raised in such a home as he delineates the “evil personality disorder”

When my grandfather was born in London in 1885, the only people who were forbidden from carrying firearms concealed upon their persons were criminals, lunatics, children, and police officers. If a ruffian tried anything like the current craze for "happy slapping", he ran a real risk of being shot dead on the spot.
Gun control in Britain was brought in only after the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and while the elites peddled it as crime control, it was clearly meant to keep the lower classes away from revolution, and the middle and upper classes frightened and dependent on the Government for their protection.
Britain has been so badly served by its leaders for so long, especially after the war, that it breaks my heart to think of it. Thank heavens my father had the good sense to see what was coming, and emigrate to America.

When a man makes being a political leader a career, he's going to react to a threat to being reelected or elected as a man with any other professional career will, especially one that serves him with wealth and power. He'll do whatever he has to do.
Courage, indeed. Professional politicians certainly appear to be the problem.
