In Georgetown (elite DC), America-hating is not shocking.

50 years of indoctrination.

Lack of gratitude…reminds me of my reason the country went to hell for sure.

Dr. Spock and his permissive and child-centered (I.e, the world revolves around YOU) approach to parenting, which gave rise to the hippies, which got the grease because of all the noise they made and then started controlling this country more and more.

We talk about lack of God but that really came AFTER Spock got popular…a major cause of all these dominoes falling.

“The point is to see how many hateful jackass traitors there are.”

The point in our reading it, yes. And we know. Which is why I don’t read it. The point for the publisher and writer is propaganda. Tell people they don’t need to think it has already been done for you. Here’s what you can say you think

Why do people not think? Laziness, denial and enabling of home/family dysfunction, addiction, fear, societal pressure, lack of personal philosophy, religion, feeeeelings.

Not a good group around which to keep and maintain a constitutional republic. Quite an obstacle

The article is not Fox News. It’s Campus Reform query.

When I was in Mongolia after the the demise of the soviet union, the people were rediscovering their heritage which in their case was Buddhism and ghengis kahn. After being suppressed for 80 years they were EXCITED about their past and the coming future.

What heritage will we rediscover and when will this happen?

You’re confusing Georgetown UNIVERSITY with just plain Georgetown, the town/part of DC.

Yes, many of these young people will be college students from there, but not all.

Nonetheless, GT IS elite limo-lib central for DC.

They just want to find out what people seem to think is all. They’re not spreading propaganda. Just reporting how pathetic many of our own citizens are.

But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction.

Every time I interview a prospective employee I will ask this question. The snowflake test is another series of questions I will ask. I’ll know immediately if I want them working with me.

They could go to a military base. They could report from a town not manned for the father of our country on independence eve. They could go to the trump rally tonight and interview a lot of smart people. The mojarity of the electorate re elected trump. By 10 million more than in 2016.

This is propaganda.

“ Why are people so readily evangelized to the gospel of anti-Americanism while so hardened to the gospel of Christ?”

In this world, hate is easy and truth is hard.

They’ve been indoctrinated for more than 50 years to hate [what used to be] America and to be believe that they’ve been victimized by it. Satan knows how to whisper in ears - people without the truth accept readily what justifies their own shortcomings or the sins they wish to indulge.

They believe in the right now not in eternity. And they have been told from birth that whatever fulfills their desires is legitimate for them. It is one of the reasons this civilization is collapsing into rubble…as eventually they all do.

Maybe they will.

They are not liberal propagandists.

Some of us live this way. It is very much like this being surrounded by commies. Even when one is the native and they are DC transplants.

In the video I saw of this the interviewer was a woman and she only interviewed female students. Where male students not interviewed because they just don’t realize what’s going on or did Fox just not bother to show them?

Thank you for the clarification. My point (which I made crudely) is that the reporter set out with an agenda - "young people have been brainwashed by the left OMG woe is me hope is lost." Fair enough, and to be sure there is a LOT of truth in that agenda.

But there is a conter to that agenda, which is "....but there is a strong minority of 'kidz' who don't fit that description, and they should be championed and given airtime."

Yes, we NEED to see reality - being Pollyanna helps nobody. And, to be sure, seeing the stupidity of the left facilitates their ridicule and mockery, which is the BEST way to deal with these twits....they think they're superior and smart but behind every left-statist dope is a glass psyche that is afraid of not being taken seriously.

But continuous exposure to negativity isn't good, especially when there some basis for hope. I'm guilty as is the next FReeper in posting stories that may not pump up hope, but in this case I felt compelled to put us in the penalty box for diving.

These are people that will be targeted if they say the ‘wrong’ thing too.

01/06/2021 was an unarmed peaceful mistake.

"Why are people so readily evangelized to the gospel of anti-Americanism while so hardened to the gospel of Christ?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically because the Gospel of Christ recognizes the reality of sin -- and rejects their ideology of "If it feels good, do it!".

Rather than accept the Gospel's forgiveness for sin, today's leftists prefer to deny the reality of sin, -- and destroy reality to excuse their lusts to commit sin at will.

Uh ... we are still free, right?

Compared to China, North Korea, Africa, the Middle East, and much of Eastern Europe we are.

WHY is the Biden occupation taking advice from a woman who was working as a bartender 7 years after graduating college? She couldn’t make it in the private sector because she’s STUPID

Wait, so AOC worked in a government owned bar? I thought all bars were private sector. I wonder how public sector bars compare to private sector bars.
