The Republican party has been asleep at the switch for far too long. They sat idly by while our colleges churned out leftists who in turn got jobs in our primary schools and began indoctrinating our youth. They sat idly by while those same leftists got jobs in our media and began spewing out their lies, reinforcing the trash they were teaching our youth. And, they sat idly by while, one by one, the Republicans in our government squandered their chances to make a difference, and lost their seats to the new crop of liberal Democrats streaming out of our colleges. They came out of our colleges promising "change" and were supported by the media in nearly all forms.<BR/><BR/>It escapes me why nobody in the Republican Party could see what was happening and launch a similar campaign to educate our youth in the philosophies of the Republican Party. Perhaps they were too busy enjoying their rampant spending, too busy pursuing their careers or perhaps they just got complacent. It is, after all, hard to imagine how anyone could actually believe the lies the left has been spreading all these years, but let's face it - youth is impressionable. Without a dissenting point of view to temper the liberal teachings they were bombarded with, what other philosophy could our youth possibly develop? I'm no expert, but it was obvious to me what the left was doing. It's a no-brainer .... to conquer a society from within is much easier than a frontal assault, and gaining the minds of the impressionable youth is certainly the easiest way to do that.<BR/><BR/>The question now is, what do we do, RIGHT NOW, to start taking our country back? We're facing a whole generation, actually almost two generations, of left-leaning citizens! The time to combat this was twenty years ago, not after two entire generations of our youth have already been indoctrinated, but what's done is done. Now, the only solution I see is to fight fire with fire. Certainly, there must be some Conservative Republicans out there with the money and influence necessary to open some conservative colleges, start some conservative TV stations, or publish a conservative news paper?! It time for some of these people to put their money where their mouth is and take action. FOX news just isn't getting it, and if the Dems have their way and ressurrect the fairness doctrine, our country as we know it, is finished. I wish I was one of those with the power and money to do something, but sadly, I've been struggling against the tide all my life, and it isn't getting any easier. I fear I'm about to lose the battle. So, how about it folks? It's time to step up to the plate. I know there has to be someone out there who cares, with the necessary resources to start pushing back. Capitalism got you where you are today, and it's time to give something back and start doing something to combat this assault.

Extremists in both party's and the gross lack of Moderates in either! There is not much of a choice any more, because even the 'good' choice is insanely bad in one regard or another. :(Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340751504999417208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-80791924097642638702008-12-20T18:33:00.000-08:002008-12-20T18:33:00.000-08:00What will it take to convince sentient people that...What will it take to convince sentient people that there's NO DIFFERENCE between the Socialist "R" and the Socialist "D" parties?<BR/>Will we be taken for a further ride by the likes of "the speaker", "Huck", and FOX NEWS? There is only one voice in this vast wilderness - Dr. Ron Paul. Oh! He and his ideas and philosophies don't exist! Just ask NBC, ABC, CBS, The Times (any of them). Ask the RNC, DNC, CPA, Socialist Workers of Amerika. Oh yeah, these are the guys we are working for.Dave's Daily Day Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491764990082380190noreply@blogger.com
