The one thing that you missed in your piece was the role of the brainwashing of our grandparents' children, our parents' children, our children, and our children's children through the role of institutionalized, relativistic education (as developed by John Dewey, et al). This "education" has altered their way of thinking to promote a belief in no absolutes, a belief in government as the solution, and a belief in no responsibility.

The point is that this brainwashing is the underlying cause that provides the viability for this current unbelievable scenario of a Barry Hussein Øbama likely being the next President of the United States.

The other point is that a defeat of Øbama will not fix anything. The underlying society that created Øbama has got to be fixed...otherwise, we'll just have another Øbama next cycle and the cycle after that (until the socialist revolution is complete and they just forget about elections).

I couldn't agree more, mark.

If my essay were much longer, I believe it would have turned people away.

Our public education system is nothing more than an indoctrination facility anymore -- teaching children what to think rather than how to think.

I am a teacher, and I have discovered over the last twenty years or so that, unless they are provided a road map detailing how to get from Point A to Point B, American children are no longer able to navigate any intellectual pathway.

That state of affairs came about purposefully. The left needs to keep the masses in a condition where they need to be led around by the nose in order to move from day to day.

Critical thinking, and the ability to analyze a situation, widespread among the people, are majors roadblocks to the imposition of socialist rule. So filling children's heads with politically-correct 'facts', rather than teaching them to think on their own, is a distinct goal of the current public education system. And they're well of their way to achieving that goal.

Thanks for the excellent insights.

Sometime you might like to read the book “Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave.”
