Seeing both sides of a problem could be seen as a no-no.
The American Spectator ^ | 8-24-17

President Donald Trump is in trouble again with his Moral Superiors. His problem, of course, is that he cannot throttle his B.S. Detector. Trump it seems at some point in life acquired a B.S. Detector that has usually served him well. It certainly served him well during his long years in business and during his brief time in politics. Now, however, it is problematic.

The Detector sounds an alarm when it perceives B.S., and during the Charlottesville disruptions it went wild. Every time the Mainstream Media or a political figure (usually a Democrat) began vituperating against only one side in a manifestly two-sided conflict, Trump’s B.S. Detector could not be ignored. Frankly, if I were the President, I would have thrust the device under the bed or asked the Secret Service to take it outside for a walk. Instead, President Trump heeded its alarms and said there was blame on “many sides.” Kaboom!

It was a faux pas, but that did it. Ever since he has been abominated wherever his Moral Superiors gather. Of course, entre nous, he was right. Anyone watching the televised chaos could see armed fighters confronting each other. There were the thugs of the right with helmets, weaponry, and even guns confronting the thugs of the left who were pretty well armed themselves with helmets, weaponry, and even guns. These thugs on the left even had women carrying guns. I think gun-toting women is a first for American street brawls. You have come a long way, ladies.

FTA: "So now it is apparent that a full court press is being made against most of America’s history. How does one explain this hatred of the American past? Well, I think one has to consider what is being taught in American schools. Only that can explain such a broad-based movement as the move first against the Confederacy, then against the Founding Fathers, and finally against old Abe. The American educational system from grammar school to high school to college is full of poison. Though most of it is paid for at taxpayers’ expense, Americans have got to get around this cancer within our borders.

"Fortunately, our Founding Fathers provided a way, to wit: federalism. Right now alternate schooling is being financed throughout the states. All over the union — even in New York, even in California — alternative schools are turning out bright students untouched by the poison of political correctness. In North Carolina, for instance, so far in this decade there are more than 116,000 new students, the majority of which are not going to traditional public schools. Enrollment in North Carolina’s traditional public schools has actually dropped by 5,562 his year. Meanwhile charter schools, home schools, and private schools have increased by 23, 880."

The Constitution is the most significant part of our history.

Attacks on US history will eventually focus on the Constitution.

That is the leftist goal for destruction.

President Trump, Aug. 14, 2017:

“Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. (the Editor) is the author, and the real title is “The Current Crisis: Donald Trump’s Problematic Device.” What we see above this thread is only the subtitle.

A deletion and repost would be more respectful to such a great publication.

Im not convenced Charter schools will nessarly diliver us from anti-american leftist propaganda in the curulium as leftist proably domminate most of theses charter schools too whom recurt from their ranks.

It might given parents more of a choice but a choice is also what brought forth Google and Facebook monopolize. It will require an active Conservative counter education industry simply to survive. Legislators are going to have to mandate balanced civic education to include the theories of John Locg, and the natural moral workings of Capitalism.

Seriously, how is it that kids today don’t understand than when you mow a lawn for someone or do any other kind of job you are contributing to your society and being justly paid for that task in a currency which you might uses to have your choice of someone else’s service?

That is what the Free market is, and it is the most moral, reliable, and sustainable system of economics possible. Insolently it is also the most natural form of economics.

No, actually, it’s generally a good idea. At least understand where your opponent is coming from.

I think one has to consider that many of these anti American voices are NOT American - they are foreign voices, voices of people who do not belong here. They have to go back.

A government school is a government school.

The only decent education in the US today is independent of government interference.

I’m sorry. I posted it from the web site where I found it. They did not credit R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., although I suspected that he was the author. I was not going to put his name on it, if the publication where I found it did not.

They provided no author, although I suspect that it is from the editor — R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., a class act.
