Or we will get around to them...

Somehow I doubt it.

Leftism is seductive. It preys on the emotions of people. Anger, hate, pity are it motivations.

Freedom and Liberty do not engender strong feelings until it is already gone. The reason Leftism workers so well in taking liberty is that people rarely get worked up about the loss of someone they don’t knows liberty.

The reason the US didn’t enter WW II until we were attacked was because it was someone else far away that was being attacked. The Nazis didn’t seem that bad. We didn’t know those people. The Left in this country are much the same but have learned many useful lessons from the Nazis’ failure. One big one is incrementalism. They do not try to take over the country in one fell swoop. They are taking the country inch by inch.

Most people today have no idea how much freedom they have lost in the last 90 years. People who do not study history (most today) have no notion of what has be surrendered to the Left.

The loss of small liberties tends not to provoke people to action; this is the Left’s big advantage. They always couch their restrictions on liberty in language that sounds benign and even helpful.

The Left also has strong allies in the press, the bar and academia. They are shaping the minds of our youth and building their goals in to case law.

It isn’t hopeless but we fighting them have a hard row to hoe.

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

And....Day after government school day, conservatives and those who still have Judeo-Christian beliefs let them.

Of all the weapons that the left uses against those cherishing freedom, socialist-entitlement and godless schooling is their most powerful. They are our nation's **most** serious threat to freedom.

Why is it that others do not see the danger or do not share my urgency that these indoctrination camps must be shut down?

Personally, I have made a decision. I shun government teachers and the workers who make these indoctrination camps possible. They are either too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend. ( I don't have abortion workers for friends, either.)
