The fact that a socialist demagogue like Obama can even get close to being nominated to run for U.S. President by a major party is the fruit of over 40 years of systematic brainwashing of the American people – particularly young Americans, who lack the life experience to understand when they are being coned.
David is correct that a MAJORITY of today’s college students are profoundly ignorant. Compounding the problem is the fact that their narcissistic parents have been showering them with unearned praise for their entire lives. This is a dangerous mixture.
In all fairness, the ignorance of the young in matters of history, politics, culture and economics is not entirely their own fault. The hard left has been deliberately indoctrinating them, deveiving them, and removing essential curriculum so that young people are misinformed and lack the true education needed to make informed decisions. This is by design. Jefferson said that we cannot have self-government without an educated citizenry. Sadly, today’s younger generation has been mis-educated to believe that error-filled, Marxist rants such as Howard Zinn’s “The People’s History of the United States” represents truth.
We let it happen. And the ultimate penalty may be that Obama (or some other con artist in the near future) may be able to hoodwink enough Americans someday to be elected President. This will send our great nation down the slope to the deplorable level of Canada, Germany, France, and Belgium. I shudder to think about it.
