It’s all about which philosophy our children are being taught.

Public ed is the linchpin of the leftist expansionist movement. As long as they have that, we’re fighting a very steep, uphill battle.

And the purpose of public ed is to manufacture good compliant little followers.

As for people pitching in and helping their neighbors. It’s important to keep in mind that once you’ve learned about something like the gun grabs post Katrina, it’s already over. We were seeing it on TV, while those in the neighborhood were mostly in the dark. Real-time information and coordination were non-existent and nearly impossible.

Neither came right out and said it, but in opposing “gun control” what we’re opposing is socialism, or the philosophy behind it. I know there are plenty of “liberals” out there who favor gun rights, but they have an identity crisis– we should have the right to bear arms, but not the right to set our own thermostats, decide where our money is spent, or have freedom of association.

Both posts indicate a philosophy vacuum as the problem. I agree completely. They also point to the fact that, for lack of a better term, our “American Founding Principles” are not generally known and are not being taught. True.

Therefore I say again– public education public education public education. In supporting gun rights, or the other rights, we’re fighting the philosophical vacuum that is public education whether we know it or not. The principles, or philosophy, of liberty are in direct contradiction to the very notion of public education. To put it another way, it would be committing institutional suicide for public schools generally to espouse the philosophy of individualism and liberty.

Public ed is the linchpin of the leftist expansionist movement. As long as they have that, we’re fighting a very steep, uphill battle.

Telegram received by Eisenhower on 6/7/44:

“What do you mean you’re not in Berlin yet? Are you against Hitler, or what?“

Didn’t you get the memo? Or did I make up a word and not tell anybody, again?
