Why Barack Obama could be America’s last big government president – Telegraph Blogs


Nile,

I would very much hope you are right. The greatness that our Founders made possible is at stake of dying under the constant rolling darkness of socialism that has taken over so many countries on so may continents.

I think Obama has woken some decent but previously asleep citizens to the problems with our government, but to truly be out of the woods long term, we will have to deal with TWO CORE ENGINES that promote collectivism, and attack individualism and a free society:

The Press and Educational Institutions. Those two work together for a profound and nearly insurmountable enemy. The school systems influence our children, with a measurable and decidedly liberal viewpoint from 4 yrs through graduate school. All of their formative years, 8 hours a day. Even before school, tv programs developed by the same educators, indoctrinate our children in the values and priorities of liberal ideology, laying the groundwork for collectivism. The press then takes over from there, completing the slanting of truth and the predominance of a collectivist worldview for our entire adult lives.

Liberal politicians block school choice and any weakening of the public school concept Marx so believed in, at every turn. And the main stream press maintain their righteousness through numbers and ostracisizing opposing opinions. NBC validates CBS, validates NPR, validates ABC, etc.

Over the past ten years, new press vehicles have emerged to counter this, and homeschooling has grown dramatically. Whatever the methods, we will not shirk a trending towards socialist meltdown until the press and education systems are reformed, or at least provided adequate competition.
