Partisan party politics has become more polarizing and
absurd over the years and will likely continue until people wake up. George
Washington, our first president warned us about this almost from the inception.
But the people failed to heed his warning.
Today’s phony left/right battle is nothing more than a power
play between two factions of the same mind set, the mind set that wants to rule
the lives of people, a people who were never meant to be ruled over by anyone.
Read the Ninth and 10th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution to understand
the real source of power, at least as was intended by our founders.
There is stupidity and foolishness coming out of the people
as well as Washington. The electorate is constantly voting into office
politicians who do more to harm our economy and security than anything else.
But the latest absurdity came from both the rank and file and party loyalists
–with the aid of the national media, of course–over the planned speech to
school children by President Barack Obama.
The
video from around the country showed parents saying they were going to keep
their children out of school this past Tuesday because they didn’t want their
kids “indoctrinated” into whatever they thought Mr. Obama would indoctrinate
them into.
Some said they wanted to keep politics out of the public
school system. Where have these people been living?
This was not the first time a sitting U.S. president made an
address to the school children of the country. Ronald Reagan and George H.W.
Bush (Bush 41) did the same thing. Why were those speeches nonpolitical, why
were they not attempts at indoctrination? And the parents who were in an uproar
prior this week’s speech were only assuming evil intent.
But what is truly amazing is that people were totally
overlooking the setting. They ignored the fact that the kids would be listening
to a presidential address while in houses of indoctrination. That’s what
government schools are.
From day one, school children are taught to obey, follow
the rules and not to make waves or question the authority of the teacher,
principal or government.
From there they are taught inaccuracies, that there was a
revolution and a civil war, terms that are flat out wrong, that the national
policies of Franklin Roosevelt saved the country from the ravages of a depression,
that government intrusion into the market is an example of a free-market system, both flat out
lies. And they are taught the false left/right model of politics that preaches
a phony greatness of the destructive two-party system that totally ignores the
battle between liberty and authoritarianism.
And perhaps that is why so many people were up in arms
when President Obama wanted to address the students. Their own indoctrination
carried over into an adult life where they thought one has to be either a
donkey or an elephant and that the other is automatically evil. And they don’t even know they’ve been
indoctrinated.
As Jacob Hornberger, president of the Future of Freedom
Foundation, wrote in a recent blog: “The best indoctrination, of course,
is where the people who have been indoctrinated don’t even know that they have
been indoctrinated. Most public-school graduates, whether in Cuba or the U.S.
or elsewhere, are prime examples of this type of success story.”
