Yes.
I saw it all happening on the college campus and elsewhere. I was in college from '64 through '69. I saw the communists altering the minds of kids I previously had respected.
Most of what the Russians did was easy..... after all ........ most kids think they have a gripe against their parents at that time in their lives.
Kids are so damn stupid............. now we have Obama.

Yes. War.
I said this in 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down — it was so obvious — but then, I had the advantage of having traveled all through Europe since childhood and meeting so many refugees from communist countries.
So?...Conservatives, what's the plan for RE-moralization? If we are to have any hope of saving our nation conservatives must do 2 things simultaneously:
SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT K-12 SCHOOLING!!!
See that every child in our nation has access to a private conservative K-12 education that thoroughly integrates Judeo Christian values and our nation's founding principles into **every** course and school policy!
If conservatives were to do the above within 10 years our nation's colleges and university classrooms would be filled to the brim with youth who were prepared to defend their faith and our nation's founding values. There would be vigorous and strong conservative clubs, fraternities, and sororities. Their Marxist professors would wither before their righteousness!
Within 15 years conservative young adults would be taking their places in academia and in every area of our culture.
Within 20 years the nation would see RE-moralization. ( I just hope it is not too late.)
Yes, conservatives do rally on occasion to push back specific legislation. The Tea Parties are one example of this...but...conservatives **consistently** fail to address RE-moralization!
Those of you who know my posts, know that for years I have been warning about the extreme threat that government schools K-12 pose for our nation.
Marxism is our nation's **most** serious and urgent threat. Government K-12 schools are the Marxists' **most** important and powerful weapon against us.
Marxists have near complete control of teacher training, curriculum development, and teacher unions. When will conservatives **finally** come to understand that socialist-modeled, socialist-funded, single payer government K-12 schools can NOT NOT NOT be reformed! Government schools are the very definition of socialism and socialism can NOT be reformed!
Simply by attending children learn to be comfortable with taking other people's money to pay for a service that their parents want for tuition-free! Government schools were corrupt from the very day they opened in the mid-1800s! Within one to two generations we had the IRS, direct election of Senators, the feminist movement, unions, and the failed "one world" League of Nations. And...This was my great-grandparents' generation! My parents and grand parents thought FDR , with his socialist New Deal, was the next best thing to Moses!
My plan:
Conservatives should fund education foundations. The foundation would do the following:
** Award grants to conservative teachers who would open tuition-free one-room schools in their homes or small rented spaces. ( I will explain the need for "tuition-free" later.)
** The foundations would certify the teacher, approve the curriculum, and test the students.
**The foundations would organize sports leagues to break the monopoly that government schools have on our nation's system of minor league and farm team sports. They would also sponsor cheerleading and the other "rah rah" now associated with government schools.
** The foundations would organize community-wide science labs, band, orchestra, chorus, theater, and other arts programs.
** The foundations would organize the parents to lobby for complete shut down of government schooling, and massive reductions in property and sales taxes.
Our universities and colleges have endowments in the BILLIONS. Harvard alone has an endowment of $35 BILLION! Because government is running a price-fixed cartel, and pricing its services at tuition-free) we do not see private K-12 education equally endowed.
If government had not planted it great big hairy foot down in the middle of the private market of private schooling in the mid-1800s, perhaps today we would have private education soooooo well endowed that no child in this nation would every need to pay a dime in private school tuition!
Since our price-fixed cartel government schools are giving away its product for tuition-free, at least initially, conservative foundation schools would need to meet this price of tuition-free.
Hopefully, conservative leaders will see the need for RE-moralization and work to formulate a plan. IT IS URGENT! We must start NOW!
(Sorry! Now proof read. I am in a rush.)
YES!
wow...amazing stuff there. His Yuri still out there talking? Is this recent?
LOL.
Hey Fabian .......
........ if you go to the original source you will see that it is far from "recent" (1984).

Understanding fully requires attention to a lot of detailed information.
Correcting or reversing this program is even more complex than understanding it fully, but among the excellent suggestions on this thread, education seems to be key.
I have met so many young useful idiots that cannot comprehend that the society of equality they demand will only provide them equality in death.
The license of youth and ignorance are responsible and useful idiots have no motivation to become aware, it requires work.

... so true.
I agreee. I keep saying, and it bears repeating, that I don’t think we will ever have national elecions again.
I hope I am wrong.
I graduated from high school in 1964, and, yes, I saw the same. Why did this happen?
Answer: It is because the youth were essentially rudderless, and too few had a firm Judeo-Christian polar star to guide their lives. Why?
Answer: By 1964 our government schools were essentially godless in their worldview. Yes, we did have a minute of two of a scripture verse and Lord's Prayer in the morning during homeroom, but for the remainder of the day **every** subject was approached, analyzed, and delivered by the teacher in a secular and godless manner.
We were taught to **think** godlessly! By the time I attended government school, this had already been the practice for several decades. Yes, our society functioned fairly well during those decades up until the late 60s, but I believe we, as a nation, were running on our spiritual reserve tank. By the time the 60s hit the tank was empty.
I had the good fortune to attend tuition-free Catholic parochial schools for 10 years. My last 2 years were in government high school. The following describes some of the practices in the Catholic schools I attended. The contrast between a Christ-centered education and the godlessly directed government education was very stark.
*** We dressed modestly because the nuns were helping us to understand that our bodies were a gift from God, housed our eternal spirits, and were literally temples.
** We asked for God's blessings on every hour and on the new topic to be studied.
** Of course there was a half hour of religious studies in the morning.
** The writings and philosophy of our church leaders were woven into all of courses.
** We studied the lives of the righteous people who opposed evil ( commonly called “saints”) and they were held up to us as heroes whose lives we should model.
** Even with subjects seem secular ( science and math) we were reminded at appropriate times that the natural world reflected God's glory and power, and it was a our duty to learn as much as possible about it.
** If we heard an ambulance, police, or fire siren, we stopped the class and said a prayer for those who might be in need.
** If a child in the school, a parent, or relative was ill we prayed for them by name.
** Every year in the spring we had a spiritual “retreat” where religious leaders from the diocese would come to the school to speak to us.
** We were encouraged to go to mass before school.
Please read post #24.
If we are to have any hope for saving this nation we MUST MUST MUST shut down the godless government schools and offer all the children in this nation a truly God-centered private education that upholds and thoroughly integrates their family's Judeo Christian values into every topic studied.
We MUST MUST MUST shut down the government schools. They are godless. Even at their best, when they opened in the mid-1800s, the religiously pablum offered up was already generic and lukewarm. It had to be if it was to be accepted by the majority of the community. ( We know what Christ does to the lukewarm.) And...As with all socialist government programs the push was always toward increasing amounts of godless secularism and greater centralization.

I hear you.
You are correct.
o, well I was lazy and didn’t check the source! Nice picture there..I am handsomer though!

A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information.
