dl;dr

A+ for the name association though.

Excellent article. I wrote a similar one. Mine was more optimistic.

There’s a Hitler Youth song called Vorwarts, Vorwarts (forward, forward), I believe.

Look it up on youtube, if you don’t mind being on an FBI list. ;-)

As soon as the democrat party moves on to their next manufactured social crisis these kids will wake up to find themselves tossed onto the liberal trash heap
next to the no-longer useful like Cindy Sheehan, Sandra Fluke and Al Franken.

An undeveloped mind is far easier to manipulate if it is only fed bad goods.

Monkeys should work just as well except some of them have minds of their own.

Take David Hogg, who was present during the attack last month on the high school in Parkland.

IIRC, Hogg has said he wasn't at the school during the attack. He has said he was at home, rode his bike to school, etc.

[Pelham]

That’s evidently a misleading quote that we have seen. He did indeed tell the network interviewer that he rode to the school with this camera to get interviews. But he did that as soon as he got home from the school- he grabbed the camera and rode back ASAP so he could play junior journalist.

Who in the h3ll takes orders from a 17 year old?

[wardaddy]

Only 10 percent of that DC assembly was school kids

[Maudeen]

Speaking of Troops. . .maybe it is time for the draft.

See Cultural Revolution communist China. See student fanaticism under Pol Pot.

Difference here is that, yes, we have guns. Our biggest enemy is state run media.

And a good chunk of that 10% somehow thought that the answer lies with Harry Potter

Hoggboy doesn’t have the upper body strength to even be Permanent Latrine Orderly

[Enchante]

"hundreds of thousands of high schoolers"

Welllll, there have been some analyses of crowd photos that suggest there are far more middle aged hippie Bernie leftards than high school students in those demonstrations. The real figure for high school students might well have been only 20% of the crowds, which could mean there were under 100K real "high school students".... still a significant number, but nothing near what has been claimed in the MSM. Most of this is highly orchestrated puppetry by the Soros Media Matters cabal.

The tragic wisdom that flawed humans are free to choose wickedness, and that the utopia of a world without risk or suffering is impossible, contradicts the pipe dreams of the left.>>>>>>>>>>>

What we have are not “progressives.” They are liberal fascists.

This is a very good read :

“Barrack Obama: The Quintessential Liberal Fascist”

[GOPJ]

Progressivism, like its totalitarian cousins, is an ideology of melodrama and moral exhibitionism. The complexity and mystery of a flawed human nature and its actions are reduced to Lenin’s simple analysis: “Who, whom.” In the fight between righteousness and evil, who will win, the oppressor or his victim?

Bruce Thornton 'gets it'...

[GOPJ]

The progressive transformation of our culture has been directed at creating just such students, whose natural inclinations to self-drama and emotion rather than thinking make them perfect constituents for an ideology that flourishes among those who obsess over their feelings, and who demand the elimination of the sad constants of risk and suffering.

It's time we taught our children they're descendants of Western Civilization - and WE DON'T MARCH - WE READ, TALK, THINK, VOTE... etc.
