I dunno...I went to the CCE website and don't see anything particularly evil on there. In fact it has links to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution on the home page. Found no mention of the UN through casual browsing, the only mention of other countries was in reference to a comparative analysis of democracies (yes, I know...we are a republic, but even that subject is covered in the sample lessons given). Maybe we ought to at least check it out before we believe everything we read? Especially considering they want money...

I went to the lesson you linked to and I have a real problem with it.

The word that bothered me the most was "helping".

Is the purpose of the government to "help" people and "help" them equally?

Is that what the Founding Fathers believed? Is that what the Constitution says?

Or is that a bunch of socialist trash?

"Helping" sounds like a lot of the leftist propaganda oozing out of the Bush administration agencies like HHS and HUD.

These clowns are "helping" this country to turn into Argentina.
