The left has won the war over how our children shall be educated. Those who lost this war should be identified not just as conservatives but as patriots and believers in God or some reality apart and greater than themselves. So we have grown a generation ignorant of history, who despise their own country, or at least eschew patriotism as quaint, who, in the absence of a catechism, are shallow and acquisitive with no special skills which would cause society to favor them with the lifestyle which their narcissism demands.
Of course they are vulnerable to the siren of Barack Obama just as they have been indoctrinated to believe in diversity. As one who watches American television through German eyes, one can see how the German attitude toward, for example, George Bush in particular or African-Americans in general are shaped here in Germany. Germans gather their impressions of America almost exclusively from leftist media and Hollywood productions. What these images produce in the German culture is another triumph of social engineering.
We conservatives look at the failures of overreaching government and expect others to draw the same a rational conclusions we do. But those conclusions are only "rational" if they fit into a context which admits the notion that government is the problem and not a solution. If your context does not accept this possibility, you cannot draw conclusions we conservatives reach.
The social engineering produced in the millennial generation is that which was sought after by The Frankfurt School and it is grist for Saul Alinsky's mill. We lose the battle at the PTA level and suffer the consequences in national elections.
