Ok...going to incrimenate myself here for your benefit.

Benefit meaning some insight for all to work with.

I grew up in the "Pizza Triangle" gun ownership to me meant gangsters. Now, I've been involved with politicians since early on only because a friend of mine's father was running for mayor. And yet, look at my conditioning...

I only learned of the rights that were being taken away with guns since I've been on here (FreeRepublic). I'm exposing myself so you can all see from 'conditioning' what our rights have to overcome versus what the knowledge is versus what others have not been exposed to.

I have a friend who is moving to TN, and when he gets there he stated that in 8 hrs. he can have a handgun and will be able to carry it. What a difference 700 miles makes. And the crime rate is NOT higher because they carry guns.

I posted this on another thread but it is very applicable to this one, so I'll repost.

I lay the blame on the public schools and their anti-freedom AGENDA. The liberals have to be thrown a bone on this idea (because conservatives were too short sighted to see the potential here) because they knew that in order to achieve their radical plans, they'd have to ensnare a whole generation and twist it's viewpoints and it would have to take place over the course of several generations. So they infiltrated (that's the correct word, too) Education.

I've been a public school teacher for almost fifteen years here in South Florida and in that time, I have had the opportunity to well document and fight this agenda. In this district the anti-2nd Amendment view point is overwhelming. There is a general pro United Nations world view that is promulgated at the same time. It starts in elementary school and continues into middle school with United Nations Day where every class decorates it's doors with posters of different nations and the world body for a contest. Social studies classes discuss the UN goals and achievements.....in high school, the agenda turns on social issues wherein only one view is put forth....like gun control being the way to make the world safe. OR that the UN is the only world body that should have an army and be able to use it in defense of all nations (barf alert!)OR a one sided view of what pro-choice means.....you can think of more examples, I'm sure.

I teach MY students that this "one view" on any subject is an agenda and an agenda makes you a puppet without free will. You'd be amazed at the anger that sparks up when they see what's happened to them for all these years.

It's time for conservatives to take back the schools and it's going to be a damn near impossible battle because so entrenched are the liberals that they also control the hiring process and the curriculum that drives the agenda. But, just as Jeremiah Johnson had to hunt to survive...we must try, if we are to survive.
