I have come
to the conclusion that many people who identify themselves as "Progressives" are
simply crazy and I mean that in a clinical sense.
Trying to
have a cogent, logical, factual, rational and civil discussion with them about
almost anything today has become increasingly impossible. You offer
facts...they become unhinged and begin to call you names. You challenge their
their assertions and they make things up out of whole cloth.
They get
away with this for the following reasons:
one: The
teachers of teachers have become predominately left wing who see education as
the pathway to indoctrinate children about social justice, political
correctness, magical thinking, America as a racist nation, Israel is the bad
guy and sexuality. Author MaryBeth Hicks has identified Bill Ayers as "the high
priest of this effort. "Leftism" she says "has become the rule and not the
exception".
two:
"Progressives" are essentially socialists with nasty attitudes who prove
Einstein's rule about insanity...they keep doing the same thing and each time
expect a different outcome. The problem is that since they now dominate
Academia from pre-K through post graduate studies including Law Schools,
Journalism Schools. Ed schools, Social Work Schools and the like, our children
no longer have any idea, unless we have educated them, of the truth about our
history, current affairs, how the government functions (or is supposed to
function), or how our economy works. Thus our children have become prey to the
insane world view of the "Progressive" elites
