When the Left Snatches our Kids
American Thinker.com ^ | August 3, 2019 | Sally Zelikovsky

I am skeptical that our efforts as conservative parents to produce conservative offspring will materialize. Even with the best of intentions, the odds are not in our favor to successfully counter the Democrat-Media Complex, the educational system, and pop culture. That doesn’t mean there aren’t success stories (some in my own family), but I hear more about the failure and the disaffection it engenders in conservative families.

Conservative parents have learned the hard way that how your kids turn out depends on a host of factors that, at some point during the maturation process, are way beyond our control -- friends, personal experiences, a particular book or documentary, brain chemistry, friends, a teacher/professor/boss, personality, a romantic relationship, college activities, pop culture, hobbies, and…friends. Usually, it’s not one but an amalgamation of several factors and presto chango! The kid who was once the lone conservative arguing at the lunch table, now thinks David Hogg and AOC are bitchin’.

We see them everywhere -- the emaciated college-age vegans working at Starbucks, hysterical young girls pounding on Supreme Court doors, attractive anti-Semites leading the charge in Congress. I’m sure some of them had conservative upbringings -- you cannot assume they were all raised by liberals. Yet, in her reporting about out-of-control liberal college students some time ago, I heard Laura Ingraham link their behavior to their upbringing. Only a parent whose children hadn’t yet attended high school could make such an absurd connection. We can try but we cannot guarantee what our children will believe.

Mush heads go along to be a part of something, females tend to lead and of coarse males want to impress the females and hook up

Deprogramming one's progeny and then reprogramming them is NOT easy, must start almost from the day they are born, but far too many supposedly Conservative parents just do NOT put in the time and work to do it.

If done correctly, by the time your kid/s go off to college, they should be SO well informed and programmed, by the parents, that NOTHING can break through nor tear down that wall/conviction! And though NOT patting myself on the back, I did it! And now, the next generation has been/is being brought up the same way.

The Illinois Family Institute is a powerhouse for cutting edge information relating to children, the family, government, etc. Many states use the organization as a go-to. Highly recommend! Franklin Graham is going to be their presenter at a conference in November. https://illinoisfamily.org/

The collapse of this country will he traced to the remarkable, pathetic acquiescence of conservatives who had a dangerous, misplaced, self-defeating faith in “the institutions.”

Kids have always rebelled against the dominant culture...

I wonder how long it will be before they start rebelling against this sick, delusional culture of non-existent global warming, women with penises, men with uterus, pride in a man taking a dick in his ass (sorry for being gross, but that’s the essence of it), being racist simply for being white, white guilting and self-flagellation, slave reparation by non-slave owners to non slaves, etc. etc.

Can it really be much longer before they rebel when faced with this level of insanity?

It’s called home school. Your children are your most precious assets, correct? Start acting like it. Down size the lifestyle and take care of your damned business!

I applaud anyone that is able to home school their children. However I would have never been able to home school our children had home schooling existed when they went to school

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

-—from 45 Goals of the Communist Party, c.1960
