Over at Conservative Rainbow, Christopher Budden has some excellent insights:
…Freedom requires personal responsiblity. We have, over the decades, completely absolved our children of any idea that the things they do are their responsibility. Both good and bad. Many of us even suffer from this ourselves to varying degrees. The idea of consequences has been bred out of them by Leftists who can only get their agenda rammed down the throats of freedom loving people by breeding those hard lessons out of society. And I admit…for right now they seem to have done a pretty good job of achieving that very thing. Every kid gets a trophy, losing hurts too much so score is no longer kept because “their are no losers.”
There is a reason for the vehement way in which the Left defends Barack Obama and his actions. People who criticize him are ripping at the curtain behind which the Wizard hides. Your are threatening their Utopia when you break him down under the harsh light of reality and begin taking his actions, lies and true intentions apart piece by piece. It is not unlike an individual being shaken out of the mental constructs built to shield them from a traumatic event by a psychologist.
Many of America’s problems are simply the result of the infringement of this mass psychosis upon us by the Left. They have done it through the schools (high school or college), media, movies, music, books and many other venues.
The solution for getting America back to the beacon of freedom it was meant to be will not be easy; it will take all of us…
Indeed, it will – and that is what I’ve been harping about lately. All of us who love liberty and the ideals of our Founders must come together, bury whatever hatchets we have, and work to save the nation. Once we’ve turned back the socialist tide, then we can return to our regularly scheduled arguments.
