Thank you for an excellent post. Too often we hear from those on the left (and right), that either haven't understood the facts, or haven't taken the time to research the historical record.
It reflects badly on this nation, that we allow our history and therefore our future, to be redrawn and redefined by those that are purely agenda driven, then pushed and published to our children as some type of present day fact. As a nation, we are paying a terrible price for this ignorance. Our children and our grandchildren are paying and will continue to pay an unbearable price for this folly.

Given this great liberal experiment of removing religion, personal responsibility, morals and truth from the classrooms, courts and even our homes, it is no wonder our children are more violent, filled with rage and hate, labored with despair and suicidal tendencies. No wonder they have little or no respect for others, themselves or their own bodies. When did we see the youth of America begin to fail to meet the educational standards of bygone years, when did the strength and protection of the family evaporate and when were our children left abandoned by America. One need not look back further in history, than when the elite left wing liberal socialists gained control of our educational systems and government in the mid to late 60's. The leftist's have no problem with the teachings of revisionism, blame it on America, blame it on big business, blame it on religion, ignoring law in favor of political correctness, the personal gratification of the self... over all others, hopelessness, hate, multiculturalism, racism, anti-family, and anti-American agendas. Never mind the fact, that these agenda's are now and have always been, failed policies and agendas. Never mind the damage it does to our children, parents or this nation. For these policies have one goal.... To destroy from within, that which no nation on earth can do spiritually, militarily or economically.

To put this all in simpler terms, the objective of the left (I do not use liberal because the left in this country is not liberal, but socialist) is to subvert the will and rights of the majority to those who have a minority opinion. They preach of tolerance for the views and rights of those in the minority, but what they are actually doing is lifting up and supporting "intolerance" by these minorities of the views and rights of the majority.

My spiritual affinity is a minority view, but I do not feel threatened or coerced by the religious views of the majority. I feel no need to infringe on that majorities rights to freedom of expression of that point of view, as long as they are not creating a national religion/denomination, which was the express and sole intention of the "Establishment Clause" of the First Amendment.

My rights are not infringed upon by the placement of the Ten Commandments in a public place. That placement does not force or coerce me into adopting the beliefs of the majority. To me, it appears that the left in this country is using this debate to try to establish a "godless" government, which is a basic tenet of socialism straight from Marx and Engels "Communist Manifesto."

If you really wish to trace the first inroads of socialist policy into our government, you go back to 1913 and Woodrow Wilson's implementation of the unconstitutional income tax and establishment of the federal reserve bank. But by far the biggest intrusion was created during the tidal wave of socialist programs enacted by FDR and his New Deal. The impact of these programs was masked by the severe economic conditions created by the Depression, that is only now being exposed as having been worsened exponentially by the inept fiscal policies of the federal reserve.

It would be a long and whole other topic to address the socio-economic and political atmosphere of those times, including John Maynard Keynes socialist leaning economic theories that were prevalent back then (and still prevalent in many of our left leaning economists of today). Personally, I am convinced the only way to reverse the inroads of socialism in our governemnt, and return our country to the principles of free market capitalism, is to privatize these social programs.
