"Ideas have consequences." - Weaver
The consequences of America's founding ideas included, among other things, opportunity for the poor and oppresssed, productivity, prosperity, plenty, and a place where individuals from every nation in the world could flee for over 200 years.
Today, after a few decades of the so-called "progressive" influence (actually a regressive idea), we find ourselves among that great group of nations whose flirtation with and implementation of the counterfeit ideas of Mao/Marx/Lenin and Keynes have led to loss of freedom for individuals, disappearing wealth and prosperity, and want.
It is time for the youth of America to study and rediscover the ideas of liberty which made America a great beacon for liberty and opportunity. Technology has made it possible for them to read the writings and speeches and documents of their liberty online--materials which were censored from their textbooks and public places by the "progressives" who wished to gain control of places of power.
Concurring great-idea bump. These ideas used to be taught beginning in the second or third grade. Now kids get lessons in condom manipulation.
