The wave won't be broken until we focus on the culture. Nickname, in his post #15, pointed out that collectivists in our nation control” public schools & academia, media, entertainment, unions, progressives in prominent positions inside big business and internet outlets....”

While short term political strategies are absolutely essential in the political fight against collectivism, I am often perplexed that so many conservatives fail to see that without influencing the culture in a major way we are likely to lose in the long term.

Schooling must be a major focus of long term strategy. We must shut down the government schools, find alternatives to the communist controlled universities, get as many kids out of the higher education racket as possible and work to see that every child in this nation has access to an education that upholds Judeo/Christian belief and our nation's founding principles.

The current state of our colleges and our Universities have only one difference from the Muslim Madrassas...the age of the students.

American ‘higher education’ is no more than indoctrination.

Rush is right—skulls full of mush that have spent their youth on X-boxes & MTV. They are clueless & they are easy targets for the ‘professors’ who get them for 4 years or so.

That system must be replaced.

Look hard at everyone you know who is under age 45 or so. They are overwhelmingly lazy—willing to pay anyone else to do any kind of work for them which they could easily do themselves. They don’t think thru a situation and are not really to be depended upon in a crisis.

Then compare them with the 50-60-70-80 year old’s you know, who were taught to do for themselves and to not expect a job-food-shelter except on their own efforts.

Welfare was intended to be a help temporarily for those who needed it. It has become a total life style and instead of being grateful, the succeeding generations have decided ‘it is owed to them’.

They are experts at riding in the wagon, but they never consider pulling the wagon.

When you realize that the amount of $$$ spent in 2011 on Welfare & associated programs would equal giving every ‘poor’ household a check for over $56,000, then it really hits home. I know many people living on less than $18,000 a year & ‘poor’ people are getting the equivilant of $56,000???

That just plain pisses me off. I have worked since I was 15 for a paycheck. I am not the only one who is pissed, either.

It all has to end. Nov 6th cannot come soon enough.

You are right about public schools. However, all is not lost. Had dinner with my 26-yr old daughter two nights ago and got into a discussion about the election. She and her friends see what has gone terribly wrong with our country since BO. Despite Sandra Fluk (sp?), the creepy “first time” commercial and the war on women, many of these kids see this election as an economic one. They instinctively know. There is still hope.

Thanks for comments. Keep in mind, this is a thousand word column. It does not represent the totality of my thinking on what our culture needs. It focuses on one aspect, and its inevitability for over four years. There is nothing in this article or in any other that I have ever written that indicate that this will be a panacea.

AMEN! Without dealing with this, any victories we achieve this year will be fleeting. The Marxist government education machine is what makes the Barak Obamas of the world possible.
