I am just aghast ... this is like something right out of a nut house conspiracy theory type scenario - trying to educate people and get the word out on this would be imposable.
I mean how can you tell people this and not be labeled a nut?
By quoting the evil bastards in the education process.
I just spent two days with a dear old friend who is also a clueless "default" liberal. I sat her down at the computer and showed her link after link. She said a lot of the stuff was just made up. Could not believe what she saw on responsible news sites.
I explained how conservatism is not the result of clinging to the past, but the result of education in the history of civilization and the logical outcomes of radical change; how the media operate, how the textbook industry operates, how the NEA has moved to the bleeding left edge, how all organizations inevitably drift leftward due to human nature, why the prince of this world is called The Deceiver, etc.
Now I'm a right-wing, religious "conspiracy nut."
But at least her eyes have been opened. If you can stay matter-of-fact with people and keep from engaging in bad feeling, sometimes it plants a seed.
