1. There is an old saying that goes like this:
"He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon"
It means that one should be very careful about dealing with evil people.....and nowhere is that more apt than in politics, in casting one's vote.
In earlier times, politicians who behaved in a manner contrary to the attitudes and values that made this nation great, had very little chance of being elected.
Since Franklin Roosevelt altered the aspiration of society from one based on spirituality and Judeo-Christian tradition, to one more closely allied with materialism and Soviet doctrines, politicians can be reprobates, rapists, traitors....
...and still move up the political ladder.
Examples abound.
2. Liberty was at the foundation of what America meant....at least in the view of the Founders.
lib·er·ty
(lĭb′ər-tē)
n.pl.lib·er·ties
The condition of being free from confinement, servitude,or forced labor.
a.The condition of being free from oppressive restriction or control by a government or other power.
b.A right to engage incertain actions without control or interference by a government or other power: the liberties protected by the Bill of Rights.
The right or power to act as one chooses
liberty - definition of liberty by The Free Dictionary
Many Americans have been trained to accept restrictions on their individual liberty with the promise of material rewards, from government, to follow.
3. The indoctrination required to alter society, from responsibility to bribed through entitlements, has been successfully handled by the Left through the control of the public schools and the means of dissemination of information.
a. "The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.” Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.
b. “The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.” Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51
Point Number One:
it is through control of the schools and the media that a view antithetical to that of the Founders is advanced and maintained.
