That article is not written out of ignorance but propaganda. People need to stop having the presupposition that the left is merely mis informed and have the presupposition that their intention is to directly demoralize the society.

It can hardly be put more succinctly. "They" are NOT dumb.

The claim of demoralizing the society is exactly accurate. It really is demoralizing; i.e. removing the moral discipline of the individual, and hence removing the profound privilege of exercising one's own consciousness. The latter might be called freedom. How graphic has it become?

We have repeatedly expressed on FR the phenomenon of the Bicameral Society, one that is absent of individual moral awareness, only surviving through mass fear, emotion, and authoritarian control. The United States was founded on exactly the opposite human viewpoint.

At one time it was a shining example to the world.

That is the left’s plan - do outrageous things - let the peasants have a little time to vent - soon it is quiet - and they continue on for another day of ruining the nation

The Democrats ignored the angry voters in the Townhall meetings, telling them they knew what was best for them.

Come election day, the voters are going to show the Democrats what is best for them-retirement.
