In prior days, it was the Republicans who were in lockstep agreement. Today they couldn’t be more fractured within the party.
In prior days, it was the Democrats in disarray and now they are in total lockstep, never showing anything but that their platform is the correct ideology so nobody had better waiver.
In prior days, Republicans were known as the CEOs and other types of bigwigs in American businesses, schools, etc.
Today, it’s largely Democrats who are CEOs and administrators of large institutions, etc. (Don’t argue with me on this because you may not believe this, we’ve been told for so many years by the Left ‘the rich are Republicans’, but my cousin is a NYC headhunter for people of Jamie Dimon’s level and she’s always telling me “they’re LIBERAL, not Right, as we’ve been told”)
TODAY, it’s the workforce, the blue color folks, who elected Donald Trump, the (supposed at the time) Conservative who appealed to them more than the Lefties.
How can this have happened that the workforce is more rightwing now and the bigwig rich are leftwing?
ANSWER: EDUCATION. I heard the observations of ‘role changes’ given by (the wonderful) Charlie Hurt Tuesday and got to wondering why he said this, why had this happened?…and I realized it’s SCHOOLING:
The rich send their kids to higher learning….they got indoctrinated and now those kids who went to university, naturally, got the big paying jobs. The poorer folks who are left behind doing the work of the people are more patriotic, put America first, because they haven’t been as indoctrinated by college professors. Make sense? Do you think I’m right?
HERE IS THE BIG PROBLEM: Very recently, we see that even young children are being indoctrinated by their teachers who also attended universities to get their teaching degrees and became libs.
Do you see my point about education and agree this could very well by why the switch of Republicans and Democrats that I outlined above? Then now what?

Complacency . . . self-indulgence . . . political correctness . . . entrenched unions . . . hypocrisy . . . dependency . . .
This nation is not like a Switzerland or a Norway or a Canada. It needs a periodic but unscheduled kick in the butt followed by a proper bloodying of its collective nose to refocus its energy and restore its vision. Only a Pearl Harbor or a 9-11 can stimulate patriotism, cooperation, and unselfish performance.
Otherwise it goes all obese and self-righteous and smug into the dark echo chambers of history revision and it’s somebody else’s fault.
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.

Just remember, the university discourse (education) only serves to rationalize the master’s discourse. And the “master” is global corporatism. Education serves to create a salaried bourgeoise, who work and compete for corporate surplus salaries as proletarians (wage slaves) instead of sovereign “owners” of their own businesses (an actual bourgeoise).

If I have offered this Vladimir Lenin quotation to you once, I have offered it a dozen times: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seeds I have sown will never be uprooted.” What you suggest about education is true, but at the same time we cannot say that the power structure has ever actually cared what the people think —beyond it being able to manipulate a poorly educated people through various nefarious political strategies. By poorly educated, I mean to suggest even those with college degrees.
The left’s march toward anti-Americanism began during the Wilson administration; it has gotten steadily worse ever since. First, soft on communism at home while wasting our resources on avoidable wars in Asia. I contend that FDR did everything he could to incite Japan’s attack our Pacific holdings. Truman took us to war in Korea; his Secretary of State set it up and 2.8 million people died. More than 7,000 American servicemen remain missing in action from the Korean War. Today, no one cares. If there is but one thing the Kennedy/Johnson administrations were good at, it was lying to the American people. They were assisted in this by the crooked regime in Saigon; they took us to war in Vietnam and 3.4 million more people died.
The American people refuse to learn their lessons. No gloating here … it was a Republican who took us to war in Afghanistan (we are still there) and Iraq. To what end? Meanwhile, the communist progressives in this country, while maintaining a soft position on domestic communism, are equally soft on black Marxism and Islamism. They are teaching our children that America’s problems within black and Middle Eastern communities is the fault of white men and they continue to repeat that gosh-awful lie about Islam being a religion of peace. The myth of white oppression has never been more popular than it is today.
Yes, the left is quite consistent, and we can thank them for the fact that our children lack the ability to think for themselves or to ever regard our nation as globally exceptional.

FJ: HOLY SMOKE! It’s perfect!! here’s a bit from it “The possibility of the privatisation of the general intellect was something Marx never envisaged in his writings about capitalism (largely because he overlooked its social dimension). Yet this is at the core of today’s struggles over intellectual property: as the role of the general intellect – based on collective knowledge and social co-operation – increases in post-industrial capitalism, so wealth accumulates out of all proportion to the labour expended in its production. The result is not, as Marx seems to have expected, the self-dissolution of capitalism, but the gradual transformation of the profit generated by the exploitation of labour into rent appropriated through the privatisation of knowledge.”
Good point about wage slaves, etc., but I have to think about it more….
This is scary and too true. The whole link is worth reading, folks. Thanks, FJ

Many a college freshman enters college as a conservative (more or less, anyway), yet exits as hard core Left.
Simply put: a student cannot often graduate from a university without having parroted Leftist spew and, thereby, becoming “a convert.” It’s a brain thing — if anyone wants to explore the neuroscience behind all this.
What’s more, if a family sends their children to a conservative private college, an institution that supports conservatism, the children’s prospects for employment drop drastically.
What a spiral!

Perfect timing…let’s see how the votes go today; it was so important that he was FINALLY getting some things going his way, and then he does this again.
Lindsay Graham says this Tweet is beneath the dignity of the White House. True. And I rarely agree with this jerk.

Dana Bash actually laments that her six yr old shouldn’t see these things because then he’ll treat women like this….her six year old reads presidential TWEETS? Or is SHE the one telling him so he can mistreat women like this?

Z, From the press secretary Sanders:
The White House defended President Trump’s rant Thursday on Twitter against the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” saying the president was “fighting fire with fire.”
White House principal deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said show co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have “attacked mercilessly” the president, including accusing him of having a mental disorder.
“I think he’s been very clear that when he gets attacked, he is going to hit back,” she told reporters at the White House. “I think the American people elected somebody who’s tough, who’s smart and who’s a fighter — and that’s Donald Trump.”
“It’s kind of like we’re living in the Twilight Zone. They do this day after day after day and then the president responds and defends himself and everybody is appalled and blown away,” she said.
The show’s treatment of the president and his staff would not have been tolerated if directed at the previous administration, she said.
“The rest of the media would have said no way, guys, hold on. But nobody does that,” Mrs. Sanders said.
