Accepted. I’m just trying to keep you from making a fool out of yourself on the Internet — the same fool I used to be. If I post something asinine in the future (as I certainly will), I hope you’ll call me on it in return.

Rise up and fight? What does that mean? I’m just as appalled and angry at what is happening in our country - but “fight”? Fight who? Do you mean literaly fight, physically harm those we disagree with? Self-defense I have no problem with, but it sounds like you are advocating civil war.

I’m all for aggressively argueing conservatism, being involved politically, and participating in public protests, but shooting someone - no. Not yet.

Live like you want to live but LEAVE THE CHILDREN OUT OF IT!

Matthew 18:6

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

I believe they are fully aware of it.

I don’t believe it to be restricted to a communist ideology though.

Islam is definitely in the mix as well.

My problem is identifying the chicken from the egg.

Yes, but Obama represents the political enthronement of Fabian Socialism and the Gramscian rollover in a much more extreme form. Compared with when Reagan was president in the '80s, this seems almost like a Communist takeover, a coup d'etat. They are waging a cultural war against Western civilization and Christianity from the White House.

That seems to be the plan - to create a Third World people's revolution within the United States. Like Cuba or Venezuela. With those demographics, it won't be that hard for the Dems to push through an agenda of Cultural Marxism.

I agree wholeheartedly that it is a coup.

Everyday seems to bring on an even more extreme measure in ideology or legislation.

It is a cultural war and I believe they are deliberately trying to provoke the scattered remnants of true American society into literally fighting back.

I wish I could remember the screenname for pinging purposes.

Many have posted on Gramsci here, but it was probably Ernest_at_the_Beach.

The ideological chain of custody went from Gramsci, to the German communists in the Frankfurt School, and thence to America (the NAZIs kicked them out and the Roosevelt administration and American universities welcomed them with open arms). Prominent Frankfurt School "alums" were Abraham Maslow (putting "mental health" under medical control), Eric Fromm (radical feminism and family breakdown), and Herbert Marcuse (toward radicalizing state educated children).

This expulsion was in large part the result of the takeover of Berlin at the hands of the communist Spartakusbund led by Rosa Luxembourg, effectively turning the capital city into the German equivalent of San Francisco, a cesspool of strikes and sexual depravity. In many ways it was the Spartakusbund that drove people toward National Socialism.

Unknown to many is that this was the second wave of communist emigration to America from Germany. The original was subsequent to the aborted communist revolution in 1848. Hence were the open arms for the Frankfurt School in American universities.

Sounds intriguing. There aren’t enough affordable seats right now in the church based schools to accommodate all the people who want to take their children out of the indoctrination camps.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Reason:

There are too many government teachers and school workers sitting in the pews. Not only that, but there are all the spouses and businesses ( and their employees) who indirectly who snuffle at the government school trough. Even my dentist and all his employees are very dependent on the government school dental insurance that walks into his office.

Few ministers are brave enough to bite the hand that puts money in the collection plate.

Instead, ministers and his congregant teachers will talk about “reforming” the government schools when, in truth, every teacher or minister who supports the government indoctrination camps **IS** part of the problem. Everyone of them is helping to drive a stake through the heart of freedom.

Another problem contributing to the lack of church-based schools is the Prussian model brick and mortar school. These schools are very expensive to open and run, and have **tons** of regulations surrounding them.

Solution:

Conservatives must **stop** looking to the churches for help. Conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) must start **NOW** to form independent education foundations to give grants to individual conservative teachers.

As for the brick and mortar school, we should abandon the idea. Most of nation before the 1950s were educated in very small one room school houses. My own mother, a resident of center city Philadelphia, attended a Catholic school with only four room! (2 grades per class) Instead, conservatives should fund the individual teacher, charge no tuition because that is what the government is charging, and sponsor very small one room schools, mini schools, and homeschool cooperatives.

By the way...Conservatives must work to get sports, theater, and the arts out of the government schools and into private sponsorship ( best) or under the control of the departments of parks and recreation ( better than what we have now). Sports and other non-academic subjects generate tons of “rah-rah” support for government schools in many communities.

Yet...Even if they do this, it is likely too late.

"...homeschool cooperatives"

And I would know exactly how to start this up, fund it and run it. I spent two years as the President of a preschool cooperative. All we would have to do is get an online K-12 program. Piece of cake. Excellent idea.

One of Gramsci’s ideological disciples? Hillary Clinton ... the woman who now represents American interests abroad.

It could be that your local homeschool organization is already doing it.

The problem as I see it is that people use the government schools for babysitting. Yes, people are willing to share homeschooling tasks but aren't willing to babysitting other people's kids for free.

Another problem, other than the gov’t school babysitter,

is the mindset that one should not have to scale back their lifestyle to sacrifice for their family. Thus, both parents HAVE to work, even though the second income, after expenses and taxes, adds only marginally to the family income.
