Dennis Prager: The Greatest Threat Facing America
OrthodoxNet ^ | 6/19/2010 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 06/21/2010 4:54:59 PM PDT by ezfindit

Dennis Prager explains what is the greatest threat that America faces today: “We have not passed on what it means to be an American to this generation.” (see video and partial transcript) [...]

I would just add that I -- I have never said this, so I have good credentials to say this now -- it's common for commentators to say every election this is the most important election in American history or in our time.

It’s not so much the fool we elected, it’s the fools who voted him in.

I always read Mr. Prager’s commentaries. The man has such an eloquent way to express valuable insights.

Now hold on there!

Obama was elected by the stupid, uneducated, welfare hustlers, green NAZIs, labor unions, illegals, and those who forgot that the INDIVIDUAL and his freedoms trump collective feel good / economically twisted policies.

I did not include gays, since there are gay conservatives.

More than 50% of the vote went to the maoist.

And they knew he was going to tear down evrery good thing about this country.

When 0 can’t give any more goodies away, the parasites will only demand more and go insane when there isn’t anything left. Damn them all.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” — Author Unknown

I fear we have reached a point where we have a voting populace, of > 50% who are perfectly fine with socialism.

Therein lies the problem.

A corollary being that the majority of that 50% have not even a remote historical understanding of what the ultimate endpoint of socialism actually entails.

For now it is free government cheese, hopefully removed from the wallets of “rich”. Those “rich” of whom they remain envious and want destroyed.

This goes back 100 years, to John Dewey, to importation of European professors, to our universities, to a whole host of issues.

Marxism is our nation's **most** urgent and serious threat. Schools ( especially government K-12 schools) are the Marxists **most** powerful weapon!

And.. I disagree with Mr. Prager about when the problem started. It began several decades before Dewey. It started the very minute the first socialist-funded, Prussian-tyranny government elementary school open in this nation!

Think about this. Simply by attending a socialist-funded school children learn to be comfortable with socialism!!! They learn that the government has enormous police power to make citizens pay for a service their parents want for tution-free. They learn that the government has great police power to **force** parents to use a government school service. Gee! Is it any wonder that we now have Obamacare?

Within one to three generations of government schooling we had: the IRS, federal reserve, direct elections of senators, feminism, unions, large swaths of land usurped for federal parks, Wilson, the failed League of Nations, FDR's New Deal, the abominable U.N., Johnson's Great Society, abolishment of the gold standard,..and literally thousands of socialist programs and offices.

Our parents, grandparents, and great grand parents learned to be socialists by attending socialist-modeled government schools! If children attend socialist-funded government schools, they will grow up to be socialists who vote for bigger government!

He’s right. If we don’t rid ourselves of Obama; the idiots that voted for him are going to find out they are sacrifices and slaves on the plantation for the rest of their lives.

If the fate of America depends on Republicans taking control of the House and Senage this November, then it's ...

... for America.

Obama has only visited about five plagues on the US so far.

We need five more in order for enough people to wake up and reject, not only Obama, but liberalism in toto.

Here's hoping the Dems eke out majorities in both houses so Obama can acquaint our idiocracy with the full horrors of rampant liberalism.

I have no faith in most of the American people so this could happen. Unfortunately, most people are no longer “Americans”...they simply inhabit this land.

You're probably right. Ten plagues wasn't even enough for Egypt. Even after finally agreeing to let the Israelites go, they decided to head out after them and try to get them back.

Even if all of the current troubles get Obama fired, I'm sure the majority will soon be looking for a similarly slick and shallow savior to replace him.

Until someone/something can pry the public school system from the left, no one will understand or learn anything until it’s too late.
