Marxism is our nation's **most** serious threat. Schools are the Marxists’ **most** powerful weapon against us.
Yet...It is evident from the posts I read on Free Republic that few conservatives even recognize that our schools are a threat. And.. If they do, wrong believe that government schools can be reformed. They can't. They must be abolished.
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.
OK Taxman. You pinged me. I will weigh in.
The triumvirate here is the media, schools and, lest we forget, the unions. These were the primary targets of the soviet infiltration some 70-80 years ago - we see the fruition of the communist toxin today.
The media (Hollywood, network news and print)is being neutered by the dynamic of talk radio and the internet - the media will never quite lose its influence. The unions have lost membership steadily since circa 1960's (IIRC) - the rush to socialize medicine means 100's of 1000's of new members within the govmint. The schools are the strongest of these bastions, IMO. David Horowitz's efforts at leveling the playing field are worthy of a conservative equivalent of a Nobel prize. OTOH. students do have the internet!
The Dem leadership is overrun with radicals. The silver lining is that most of these radicals are aging - the radical movement within the Dem party has a half-life. If left alone, the bahstids will wreck America in their lust for power so that they can...make America better?!?!?!
The problem that I see is that the radicals are trying to change America while the biggest force against them, the Republicans, are simply trying to stop them - "prevent defense" - they are not trying to do anything else. The Repubs have to push back- radically push back. For instance, get on a gold standard or some facsimile, rid us of the 16th amendment, balance the budget by amendment, arm every citizen (there is a social program for you LOL), go to a national sales tax, plug up the "promote the welfare" clause, etc.
Without this, I have to re-state our "beloved" Harry Reid - The war is lost.
A million people show up in Washington and the media ignores it. Maybe the organizers of these marchers should rethink that strategy.
I suggest that those who love freedom march in New York City right on the doorsteps of the major news centers. Maybe they should put half a million people in the driveways of the CEOs of the advertising sponsors.
When the Berlin Wall fell the first sites secured by the freedom fighters were the TV and radio stations. The Pro-Lifers who get a million marchers to Washington every year and the Tea Partiers could learn a lesson from that.
You are probably right about targeted boycotts and demonstrations. It is clear the politicians are not responding to basic common sense so they are a lost cause. Whatever we do, the effect should be catastrophic on the target in the same manner the government is catastrophically affecting our lives. With more than half the country opposed to this monstrosity, some planned retaliation ought to get someone’s attention. Will the alphabet networks cover it? Certainly not in the way we would hope. Look how they have caricatured The Tea Party. But getting in the face of their major sponsors, now that is something which could have an immediate affect, especially if the demonstrations were coupled with expectations laid on the sponsors to use their influence with the networks.
Clearly we need to act decisively and clearly to express our outrage at this incursion into our freedoms.
That means raising up generations of children who respect life. Sending our nation's children day after day into the godless government K-12 indoctrination camps is not going to do it.
Yet...Sadly, from reading the comments here on Free Republic many conservatives do not see the government K-12 indoctrination camps as a threat to freedom. Many **insist** that their child's government indoctrination camp is “different”.
Of those who do understand the danger and threat of government K-12 camps, many FOOLISHLY believe that socialist, single-payer, government K-12 camps can be reformed. They can't be reformed because it is **impossible** to reform socialism.
We must must must shut down every government K-12 indoctrination camp in this nation.
Conservatives must must must see that every child in this nation has access to a world class, conservative, and private education that fully integrates Judeo-Christian values into every course and teaches the principles of our nation's founding.
If our nation's colleges and universities were full to the brim with youth who were well prepared to defend their faith and conservative values their Marxist professors would shrink before their righteousness. In one generation we could reform our colleges and universities.
As you so eloquently point out, we have our work cut out for us.
I agree: We must break the power the media, the schools and the unions have over our country.
I believe that the radical agenda is at the end of its run through history. The Obozo Gang is destroying its own credibility through its stunning overreach and criminal activity. At the same time, these fools are speeding the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist agenda to the ash heap.
The good news? The American people recognize what losers these people are.
2010 will, indeed, be an Interesting Time.
Dick the reverse is also axiomatic.
A generation of children raised in righteousness would make freedom inevitable.

You could really say, and I’m surprised that no one does, that Obambi is a product of little more than white guilt, which many of us here as well suffer from. It’s not just the dumbed down electorate, it’s the white man’s historical burden we all have accepted.
I experienced this syndrome first hand a year or so ago when a dreadlocked black greenhorn was hired by the IT of my company, the second American black there (there were darker Hindus in the place), and almost immediately promoted to manager, ahead of those Hindus, the Asians and the evil Crackers, ahead of having to prove himself. He was a good guy, but somewhat surprised by the honor himself.
Not just the usual stupidity, but White Guilt elected the Kenyan.
You’re right, dude, it’s the Rosenbergs’ posthumous revenge. We elected a third generation foreign Communist. We would have been better off electing Country Joe McDonald, a second generation Communist, a native one, and a vet, even if named after, well, guess who?
"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English..."

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:
"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

By the way...That Ayers and Dohrn are not only alive and well but thriving, as well, is a testament to the commitment that Americans have to the rule of law.
I see that on several important matters, Russia being the worse of them. There are some FReepers who actually like and trust KGB Putin.
I couldn’t agree more.
FR crawls with people who think their local, single-payer, communal, state-run child warehouse is like totally, magically immune to the horrible stuff going on in those godless, liberal, condom-dispensing government schools in OTHER communities.
The main reason people voluntarily act as pimps for their own, wonderful, godly, high-quality LOCAL government school: property values.
Thanks very much for the ping, Taxman. This is a great thread to go along with a great article. BTTT!
check out Hugh Hewitt website. He has a email system to send letters to Blue Dogs.

He also has a link to the Tim Burns, the Republican trying to take Murtha’s old seat.
Send him a contribution to send a message to the Democrats.
The Democrat Crime Syndicate and their Republican/Conservative enablers BUMP!
California, among others is a classic example of your point.
