Paraphrasing from Dinesh D'Souza in his latest book:

"If termites could speak, they would call what they do 'progressive'".

Progressive means more and more. More control, more power, more spending, more taxes. I have more respect for communists who announce their end goal right up front. Progressives are too cowardly or dishonest, or too smart, for that. This is what makes them a lot more dangerous. One more little step seems so harmless and quite reasonable to so many people.

This is the new meaning, and it will only become more so with time.

We need to control our State and local education systems. We must insure Standardized and mandatory testing on the concepts of liberty!

Freedom is at the edge of extension in this country, it is imperative that we raise our children and every other child to know exact what it is to respect the NATURAL(As in from Nature NOT State) rights of their countrymen.

To do this we must insert theses topics into standardized testing and mandate passing. You put it into testing and teachers will have to teach it.

Our children must be taught to think critically about the consequences of voting bread from their neighbors mouth and allowing a state to place such demands in support of such services upon a population.

If our public school systems have but one function this is the only one that is justifying of their experience to all childless population.

Remember teachers today teach for tests, so we must test for their knowledge of the theory of liberty.

There must be questions such as this one the test:
“If a people votes successfully to have the government provide a service which costs x amount for every man, woman, and child in the population where will that money come from.”

If that child answers anything other than the people, they failed the civics portion, and should not be allowed to graduate.

Democrats control our schools and as such they ARE teaching our children to missbehave as they do with NO respect for anyone else’s rights!

We must focus our attention on securing control of schools and mandating Testing for the virtues of Republican liberty.

Students who can’t answer questions about how the Government gets every dollar it spends upon them(or anything else for that matter) should fail the test and be forced to retake it.

If you test for it teachers will teach it. There is no matter more indispensably in the public interest of education than the education of respect for the civil liberty of one’s countrymen. Otherwise those children will grow up to be like modern democrats with no honest respect for anyone elses rights.

Progressives are a very vile bunch. Hitler or Stalin had nothing on what the Progressives of today are capable of if allowed to have their way.
