Branding The Youth Vote: 'Social Justice'

[PoliticalChic]

2. Younger voters are important to the Liberals, the Leftists, largely because these younger voters don't know anything.
With limited life experience, they can be told anything...and they believe same.

'

So I guess when Ted Cruz went to Liberty University to announce his candidacy, he was hoping to get a large crowd of young know-nothings to believe anything he told them?

You might be right in that case.

Overall, young voters in 2014 favored Democratic Congressional candidates over Republicans.... by 55% to 42%. Young voters also backed Democratic candidates in most Senate races."
CIRCLE Youth Voting


Need someone to explain the math to you?

You made the blanket statement that younger voters can be told anything and will believe it.

That would apply to Liberty University students, wouldn't it?

So....you do require help with the math.

OK....Overall, young voters in 2014 favored Democratic Congressional candidates over Republicans.... by 55% to 42%. Young voters also backed Democratic candidates in most Senate races."
CIRCLE Youth Voting

That means that the know-nothing appellation refers to 55%.
100% minus 55% = 45%


Now....in addition to the math, you should stick to terms you can understand....clearly you don't understand 'blanket statement.'

The percentages provided explains to whom the statement applies.


And, of course, this applies to you:
Now....It is my considered perception that older Liberals, Leftists, really don't know much more...but have had far more time in the 'indoctrination tanning bed.'

 

[PoliticalChic]

You never miss an opportunity to miss the point.

It's what is being shoveled into their empty heads that makes them vote for abject failures and anti-Americans like Obama.

But....it's what you find resonance with, huh?

Obama is neither a failure nor is he anti-American.

This can't be your first lie of the day, can it, NYLiar?

It's an opinion.

A conclusion.....based on facts:

1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.

2.Real household income is down 5%

3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%


4. When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08. Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

5. (CNSNews.com) - The federal government drove $789,473,350,613.20 deeper into debt in calendar year 2014, an increase that equaled $6,875 per household, $7,458 per full-time year-round worker, and $8,853 per full-time year-round private-sector worker. According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

That's a heavy load of propaganda but none of it is a valid argument at Obama is a failure.

1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.

First of all, your definition of poverty is "no home-no heat- no food."
So tell us where 6.7 million Americans are with those conditions.

Second, show ANY cause and effect relationship between President Obama's actions and the poverty rate.

'Poverty' is used in the colloquial sense, the bogus definition made up by government.

This can't be your first lie of the day, can it, NYLiar?

A conclusion.....based on facts:

1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.

2.Real household income is down 5%

3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%


4. When Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08. Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

5. (CNSNews.com) - The federal government drove $789,473,350,613.20 deeper into debt in calendar year 2014, an increase that equaled $6,875 per household, $7,458 per full-time year-round worker, and $8,853 per full-time year-round private-sector worker. According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker

6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

Bill Ayers is the perfect example of what we are talking about: destroyers of American education, and American students.


8. Because of his close and long association with the President of the United States, Professor Bill Ayers' aims in the education of American youth is both pertinent and poignant.



"From his post as Professor of Education, William Ayers became a leading advocate of "social justice" teaching, i.e., getting students to believe that they are victims of an unjust, oppressive and racist America. After a few years of this indoctrination, young people are ripe targets for community organizers to mobilize them to vote and carry out "revolution."


Sol Stern of the Manhattan Institute describes Education Professor William Ayers as one of the leaders in "bringing radical social-justice teaching into our public school classrooms." Most of Ayers's socialist propaganda is financed with taxpayers' money at state universities and teachers colleges.


Ayers teaches that America is oppressive and unjust, that wealth and resources should be redistributed, and that only socialism can solve our problems. He speaks openly of his desire to use America's public school classrooms to train a generation of revolutionaries who will overturn the supposedly imperialistic regime of capitalist America.
[Clearly, Ayers and Obama are soul mates in this endeavor.]



The code words for the Ayers curriculum are "social justice," a "transformative" vision, "critical pedagogy," "liberation," "capitalist injustices," "critical race theory," "queer theory," and of course multiculturalism and feminism." Social Justice Code Word for Anti-Americanism -- January 2009 Phyllis Schlafly Report



And therein, the explanation for 55% of the youth vote going for this failed, and anti-American President.

Bill Ayers, Obama's ghost-writer, ....the perfect example of what we are talking about: destroyers of our students.


9. Ayers assigns the book "Queering Elementary Education." The blub on the cover quotes Ayers as follows: "...a book for all teachers."


"(CNSNews.com)– President Barack Obama’s safe schools czar wrote a foreword to a book in 1999 that called for elementary school children to explore their sexual identities, for teachers to incorporate homosexual themes in grades K-5, for discarding a “hetero-normative” approach to education and for “acknowledging children as sexual beings.”

The book for which Jennings wrote the foreword includes essays from gay and lesbian educators that advocate teaching acceptance of homosexuality in elementary school and kindergarten.

[From the book:] “Childhood innocence is a veneer that we as adults impress onto children, enabling us to deny desire comfortably and to silence sexuality.” Obama s Safe Schools Czar Advocated Queering Elementary Education


This is what replaces actual education in 'social justice' schools.

1.The very Liberal HuffPo was quite concerned with the youth vote in 2014.
"The election of President Obama in 2008 showed record numbers of young people turning out to vote, ... The 111th Congress elected in 2009 by a highly engaged youth electorate ...

This Congress is in stark contrast to the legislature we elected in 2012, a congress which only 45 percent of young people aged 18-29 actually voted for in the 2012 election.

Overall, young voters in 2014 favored Democratic Congressional candidates over Republicans.... by 55% to 42%. Young voters also backed Democratic candidates in most Senate races." CIRCLE Youth Voting






2. Younger voters are important to the Liberals, the Leftists, largely because these younger voters don't know anything.
With limited life experience, they can be told anything...and they believe same.

Now....It is my considered perception that older Liberals, Leftists, really don't know much more...but have had far more time in the 'indoctrination tanning bed.'

This is what I mean:
Young people support Barack Obama, in spite of the fact that his policies have caused youth unemployment to skyrocket.

a. "Young America’s Foundation has released its Youth Misery Index (YMI) numbers for 2014, and it’s a record high of 106.5. The Youth Misery Index (YMI) is calculated by adding youth unemployment, student loan debt, and national debt (per capita) numbers.
Youth unemployment in 2014 was 18.1 percent (18.1 on YMI), with almost six million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 not in school or work. "

3. How did it get this way?

Get that???
Teachers and professors who know nothing influence the youth under their control....
Talk about 'the blind leading the blind.'



And what those 'teachers and professors' 'speak knowledgeably ' about to the youth is the bogus concept called 'SOCIAL JUSTICE.'

"Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities."

Social Darwinism is the theory that individuals, groups, and peoples are subject to the same Darwinian laws of natural selection as plants and animals. Now largely discredited, social Darwinism was advocated by Herbert Spencer and others in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was used to justify political conservatism, imperialism, and racism and to discourage intervention and reform.

1.The very Liberal HuffPo was quite concerned with the youth vote in 2014.
"The election of President Obama in 2008 showed record numbers of young people turning out to vote, ... The 111th Congress elected in 2009 by a highly engaged youth electorate ...

This Congress is in stark contrast to the legislature we elected in 2012, a congress which only 45 percent of young people aged 18-29 actually voted for in the 2012 election.

John Zoby wrote in Forbes magazine of the growing might of the millennial generation, declaring "millennials could determine the fate of the Senate."
Millennials make up 14-15 percent of the electorate ..."
Why Millennials Need To Take Back the Midterms Matthew Keating

a. "21.5% of young people, ages 18-29, voted in the 2014 midterm elections, .... a slight increase from the 20.9% youth voter turnout in 2010....13%of votes cast in the 2014 midterm elections were cast by young people, ages 18-29.

Overall, young voters in 2014 favored Democratic Congressional candidates over Republicans.... by 55% to 42%. Young voters also backed Democratic candidates in most Senate races." CIRCLE Youth Voting






2. Younger voters are important to the Liberals, the Leftists, largely because these younger voters don't know anything.
With limited life experience, they can be told anything...and they believe same.

Now....It is my considered perception that older Liberals, Leftists, really don't know much more...but have had far more time in the 'indoctrination tanning bed.'

This is what I mean:
Young people support Barack Obama, in spite of the fact that his policies have caused youth unemployment to skyrocket.

a. "Young America’s Foundation has released its Youth Misery Index (YMI) numbers for 2014, and it’s a record high of 106.5. The Youth Misery Index (YMI) is calculated by adding youth unemployment, student loan debt, and national debt (per capita) numbers.
Youth unemployment in 2014 was 18.1 percent (18.1 on YMI), with almost six million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 not in school or work. "

Some folks are so abysmally dumb that they are easily tricked into believing whatever the Left wants them to.

That would be you that I've described.

There are no "Darwinian laws."

If they are so smart then they'll realize O has been no friend of theirs.......see unemployment figures and home ownership rates for them

LOL! Unemployment is down to 5.4%.

Lol check out how millenials are doing living in mommy and daddy's basement

So you're saying that we have stagnant wages, and you'd like to raise the minimum wage? You don't get to bitch about how people are living until you agree that the minimum wage needs to be raised.

Gee is there a minimum wage paid by mom and dad?

Are they working for mom and dad? Seeing how you can't live on $7.25 an hour, where exactly do you expect them to live?

No. They are one of hardest hit by unemployment. Try to keep up

Libs are trying to sell poverty to a group that has known nothing but plenty, good luck with that.

Sometimes you're simply dumb.....and other times dumb and disingenuous...today, the latter.

You give a bogus description of 'social justice,' leaving out the most slanderous elements.



Let's be very clear: you, and every other maladjusted anti-American who voted for Obama, effectively endorse each and every other aspect of 'social justice' education, as posted in this thread, and below:

“....social justice” today "generally equates with theadvocacy of more egalitarian access to income through state-sponsored redistribution.The phrase is also frequently used to justify new entitlement rights for individuals and whole categories of people, i.e., legally enforceable claims of individuals or groups against the state itself.

The concept of social justice to meliorate the unequal outcomes of capitalism became the basis for twentieth-centuryAmerican progressivism, which flowed .... from Herbert Croly’sThe Promise of American Life(1909). The progressive state redistributes wealth and other resources to achieve economic and social justice for the disadvantaged."Social Justice and the Academy National Association of Scholars

....devotees of Bismarck, whose top-down socialism made the middle class dependent on the state.

“…almost every single item on a checklist of fascist characteristicscan be found in ‘The Promise of American Life.’ The need to mobilize society like an army…spiritual rebirth…the need for ‘great’ revolutionary leaders…Reliance on manufactured, unifying, national ‘myths’…contempt for parliamentary democracy…non-Marxist socialism…Nationalism…A spiritual calling for military expansion…the need to make politics into a religion…hostility to individualism…”
Goldberg, “Liberal Fascism,” p. 98.

It is fascism, filtered through the prism of 'social justice,' that children are taught.

Nothing could be less American than the 'social justice' farrago drilled into the heads of our youth.

....social justice is “a shorthand for opposition to American traditions of individual justice and free-market economics,”...


“Proponents of social-justice teaching argue that American society is an inherently ‘oppressive’ society that is ‘systemically’ racist, ‘sexist,’ and ‘classist’and thus discriminates institutionally against women, nonwhites, working Americans, and the poor,...”

....indoctrination along the lines of what an oppressive, racist, unjust nation America is.....

...."social justice" teaching,i.e., getting students to believe that they are victimsof an unjust, oppressive and racist America. After a few years of this indoctrination,young people are ripe targetsfor community organizers to mobilize them to vote and carry out "revolution."

....Ayers's socialist propaganda.....America is oppressive and unjust, that wealth and resources should be redistributed, and that only socialism can solve our problems. He speaks openly of his desire to use America's public school classrooms to train a generation of revolutionaries who will overturn the supposedly imperialistic regime of capitalist America.


..." "capitalist injustices," "critical race theory," "queer theory," and of course multiculturalism and feminism."

....that called for elementary school children to explore their sexual identities, for teachers to incorporate homosexual themes in grades K-5,...

....that advocate teaching acceptance of homosexuality in elementary school and kindergarten.

Leftists have achieved near total control of teacher training, teachers, and teaching. It is difficult to see how American values and attitudes can ever return to the classroom.



10. " At a recent meeting of the New York Teaching Fellows program (“Teach for America”: provides an alternate route to state certification for about 1,700 new teachers annually) , Sol Stern found the one book that the fellows had to read in full was Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by the Brazilian [Marxist] educator Paulo Freire.


This book has achieved near-iconic status in America’s teacher-training programs.... Pedagogy of the Oppressed was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses.


...Pedagogy of the Oppressed mentions none of the issues that troubled education reformers throughout the twentieth century: testing, standards, curriculum, the role of parents, how to organize schools, what subjects should be taught in various grades, how best to train teachers, the most effective way of teaching disadvantaged students.


This ed-school bestseller is, instead, a utopian political tract calling for the overthrow of capitalist hegemony and the creation of classless societies.

The pedagogical point of Freire’s thesis is its opposition to taxing students with any actual academic content, which Freire derides as “official knowledge” that serves to rationalize inequality within capitalist society."
Pedagogy of the Oppressor by Sol Stern City Journal Spring 2009




".... its opposition to taxing students with any actual academic content,..."


It is any wonder why American schools do such an awful job at educating students?
