The “Duh!” Factor

Hyscience poses the question, “Are 38% of Americans dumber than a box of rocks or are our public schools doing a terribly bad job of teaching our students about American history and government?”

Ignorance and apathy are, in my opinion, two of the main nutrients that support the poisonous tree of American liberalism, and are the sturdiest props for our increasingly large class of clueless “independents”, endlessly gullible, forever stumbling around in a fog of unknowing, hoping that “somehow everything will all work out.” Add these people to the ranks of the true believers, and, as the mile-markers on the road to economic disaster begin to whiz by so fast that they look like a picket fence, conditions become ripe for the destruction of freedom and order. Be sure to wake me when the civil war starts.

If you can see apocalypse coming, thank a teachers’ union.

a box of rocks.

Rebecca: Unfortunately, I think you're right about it being both.

There is a third factor: the rather large group in the US that now depends on government boodle and exploiting the taxpayers for its living. Reform of the government to be more Constitutional and more frugal will break their rice bowls, and they don't want that. That's what the violence in Wisconsin by all those liberals was all about. As conservatives, Republicans among them, come closer to accomplishing reforms the violence and election fraud by Dems will get greater, the rhetoric more hysterical, and some of those death threats against Republicans will be carried out.

What history? The curriculum that is being taught in Los Angeles is called Flow Reading, and is based on social justice. It's a rewriting of history. A friend who is a mentor tipped me off to this last week, so I looked it up. This was hair-standing-on-end time. All the red flags went up. Today, when I went to look for it, I couldn't find the site.

Perfect way to control and turn the kids into tools than reduction to rock level.
