’ “A new generation is already on the rise that understands entitlements are unsustainable and that freedom works.”

There is some truth in that.’

SOME, but the problem is that in the generations brainwashed for 16 or more years by our Marxist/gov. educators, this new generation to which you refer is a small minority, and vastly outnumbered by those who believe in Santa government and their entitlements......

The problem is not that there are not millions who do, in fact, understand what has been happening; nor, even the greater numbers, brainwashed as you suggest. The problem is that so few are willing to actually articulate reality--too few, willing to brave the "politically correct" slanders, heaped on anyone who articulates the obvious fallacies on which the Left depends.

As long as we allow "Conservative" pretenders to promote absurdities, as the "No Child Left Behind" Federal intrusion into education; or support the Federal intrusion into the physician/patient relationship; or the idiocy of an immigration policy, based upon the implied premise that the peoples of the earth are interchangeable, we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot, and frustrate the possibility of a broader public awakening.

No one reading this ever sat in a class-room with his or her equal on either side--unless it was your identical twin or triplet. The reality is, and everyone really knows this sub-consciously, that we are all different; that Collectivist/Egalitarianism Sabotages Human Potential. We need to give far more utterance to the reality for which the Left has absolutely no answer but to smear & villify. (It has always been their Achiles' Heel; which is why they go beserk when anyone discusses it,)
