Are your children educated or indoctrinated? 

Their survival depends on your answer!

 

Survival!

Deborah Venable

06/12/10

 

Surviving requires people to make decisions based on an “educated” certainty that they are right.  These decisions draw on knowledge (or lack thereof) of history, philosophy, science, economics, and even political savvy.  People are dependent on their individual education in these various fields, and that education, if it were only collectively attained, leaves out the purer science of logic and common sense.  The more logic and common sense one uses to make decisions increases the certainty of being right and thus increases the chance for survival.

 

We have been inundated by policy and laws that contain absolutely no logic or common sense.  We see it in legislative law, judicial interpretation, and executive orders all the time.  People reach into their collective conformity to justify (for the greater social good usually) all sorts of illogical stances.  These opinions have been carefully planted and cultivated by years of flawed formal education.

 

We only need to look at the recent Texas textbook brouhaha to see that the fight for the minds of children is an ongoing struggle against logic and common sense.  What were some of the main issues in that skirmish?  The two that stand out right away are history and religion, with the large subtopic of race discrimination.

 

This small group of people is charged with the task of determining the content of most of America’s textbooks every ten years.  It is understandable that history needs to be updated to reflect recent history, but choosing to omit longstanding accepted history is ludicrous, and it has been going on for many decades.  This isn’t educational – it is indoctrination, pure and simple!  It is the deliberate attempt to change culture, heritage, and historical fact, and it has been highly successful.

 

Let’s take that large subtopic of race discrimination and look to see what has happened in the past that was virtually ignored by textbooks of the past and most certainly of the present.  This group of people had a huge disagreement over how to illustrate the cause of the Civil War, (more correctly referred to as the War Between the States.)  If you ask most folks alive today to articulate the reason for the war and the argument, the problem would be immediately obvious.  American children have not been properly educated on the cause of that war.  Does this mean we are destined to repeat the same mistakes?  Given the present argument over illegal immigration in today’s climate, can we see a return to a time of warring states in America in the not so distant future?  Will the Union hold together this time or be forever put asunder?

 

These once sovereign united states have always had individual interests to protect that were not necessarily understood by the vast majority of individual people, but the fact that the states came together to form a union so many years ago meant that they all expected to be, at times, interdependent on each other.  At no time did they expect to give up as much of their sovereignty to the union as they have – at least the founders of those individual states certainly didn’t have that in mind. 

 

That is precisely why it is extremely important to pay close attention to the original intent of America’s founders.  That goes by the wayside each and every day in every public (government) classroom in this country.  The Constitution isn’t being taught any more, nor adhered to by those in government who continue to throw common sense and logic out the window.

 

The whole subject of religious (or anti-religious) indoctrination in government schools is fodder for a subsequent article, but no one in this country has truly benefited from the decision to divorce Christian principles from the education system so completely as it has been accomplished in just half a century.     

 

So why did these things happen?  Less than a hundred years after this country was established, through brutal revolutionary war on our own shores, why were these states warring with each other, brother against brother, American against American? 

 

American children have been taught for a very long time now that it was to right the wrong of slavery, and bring those rebel states in line with the concept of freedom and social justice.  Social justice is very close to an oxymoron in the way that it is used now, yet, listen to the hapless cries for “social justice” throughout many institutions in America today.  There can be no social justice if something is extracted from one society for the benefit of another, but that doesn’t stop the demand, does it?        

 

Understanding the economics of the mid nineteenth century is imperative if we really want to understand the cause of the War Between the States.  Economics were more at the bottom of that war than any cry for social justice for the black man in America, but you won’t find that espoused in government classrooms.  Pressures from foreign entities and their domestic sympathizers were also to blame, but who talks about that in the classrooms?  Differences in regional priorities were ignored to the detriment of state interdependency, and the carrot in the power play of controlling individual will was the hot button issue of slavery.  Everyone knew it wasn’t right, but people had to come to their own terms with what to do about it.  We only need look at the debate of the Founders to know that slavery was the ugly wart on the complexion of a “free” society that could not be hidden forever. 

 

Most Americans living in the nineteenth century wanted the issue of slavery resolved, but the very economics of the issue defied a one-size-fits-all solution.  The formation and foundation of the Republican Party was built on the abolition of slavery, but is that being taught in today’s classrooms?  While the election of Abraham Lincoln, (a Republican) and his anti-slavery stance actually drove the nail in the coffin of the Union, slavery needed a slower death, (and, thus, acceptance of the demise) than secession and war could possibly bring.  The founders had stated as much on several occasions.  We know now that the whole idea of black and white equality needed to be arrived at – not forced – for it to have a lasting, positive effect on black Americans.  Did it not take another 100 years of black “inequality” to produce a different sort of force to bring about significant change in the black man’s conditions?  Yet we find, still today, race divisions that plague American society and revisionist history trying to cover up the wart.

 

There is a wealth of knowledge to be had from this point in our history, but we find, instead, a simple summation; Lincoln and the North were good and moral – Davis and the South were greedy, immoral and got what they deserved. 

 

No doubt if you read the various declarations from the seceding states, you will find that the issue of slavery was number one in the list of reasons.  Yes, there were many people who disagreed with the immorality of slaveholding, but also disagreed with immediate abolishment of it.  Slaves were property, and remember that the original Declaration of Independence included property as an unalienable right – not the pursuit of happiness as it ended up stating.  Life, liberty, property – don’t you still hear that expressed today?  Now here was one part of society trying to tell another that they had no right to their property.  Their survival suggested to those folks that something was wrong with this.

 

Indeed, the hated southern plantations, where arguably the largest percentage of slave labor resided, were obviously very profitable and very important to the economic development of the whole country, but slavery and its economic benefits were not confined to the south, just as compassion for the plight of slaves was not the driving force behind the northern aggressive stance against slavery.  Expansion into newly acquired territories, and how to rule them, would eventually be the straw that broke the camel’s back in the slavery issue. 

 

If economics and slavery were not so intermingled in nineteenth century politics, and if they could have been handled as separate entities in a truly interdependent Union of individual states, there would have been no war.  It is not up to us to justify how our ancestors dealt with an economic and social climate that divided the country and led one half to take up arms against the other – it is up to us to do everything in our power not to make the same mistake.  We do that by learning and teaching actual history with a common sense, logical approach.   

 

States had to decide for themselves how to handle the influx of millions of “free,” mostly uneducated people, who had not been required to be responsible for their own subsistence, much less well-being, suddenly being turned out on society to fend for themselves.  That would be the result of immediate abolition after all, would it not?  Indeed, there were many who took up arms for the Confederacy because they did not want to have to compete with more freed slaves for jobs in the North!  

 

Here’s some homework for you.  If you don’t already know what it means, look up the relevance of manumission during the time when America was trying to handle slavery without war, then re-read the previous paragraph and see how far you need to stretch to apply some of the same elements at work then to the illegal alien problem of today.  Slavery is slavery.  Today’s employers who obfuscate immigration laws by hiring illegal aliens are little better morally than the slave owners of the nineteenth century.  Do you think that relationship is being touched on in any government classroom today?  

 

One of the most convoluted presidential campaigns in our nation’s history was that of 1860.  That campaign should be scrutinized and studied thoroughly in today’s school system, but I’d bet the farm that it isn’t.  Just as the whole subject of what caused the Confederate States to secede from the Union is glossed over, so is the individual study of political concerns of the various parties and their leaders. 

 

The proof is there for any who care to know the truth that the Democrat Party stood in the way of freeing slaves in the nineteenth century and granting legal equality of the races in the twentieth century.  The Republican Party blazed the trail for acquiring both these things.  How are these truths being projected in today’s government classrooms?  Why are so many minorities totally committed to the Democrat Party and think their very survival depends on rejecting Republican candidates?  Why are so many Democrat party members in charge of the government schools and teaching in them the revisionist history that makes up indoctrination instead of education? 

 

Now ask yourself, how can the survival of America be accomplished if education continues to be supplanted with indoctrination?  Today’s Democrat Party is the party of big government, anti-capitalism, and the secular philosophy that leads to total socialism of our society.  The Republican Party has not totally sold out to this philosophy, but it is well on its way in many ways. 

 

Choosing candidates who can espouse the difference between greed and profit, between social justice and true human compassion, and between education and indoctrination is absolutely essential to the survival of America and her many enviable freedoms.  If you are a parent, are you registered to vote, and do you intend to educate yourself to vote wisely?  Do you follow the government of your own local community and state well enough to know what candidates vying for those representative government jobs believe?  Will your children live to regret or be proud of the results of your votes? 

 

This is not the time for parents to proudly declare to their children that they are not politically savvy.  You may as well send them out the door to go play in traffic!

Listen To Michael Savage make some excellent points.  He is number 4 in popularity nationwide as a radio talk host.  He has been called every name in the book, and no one can agree with him all the time, but his intellect is top notch and he is right about this.  Listen with an open mind!

Louie Giglio Video Clip – A currently circulating email doesn’t do the subject justice, but this video is well worth the watch to do just that.  If you do the research, you will find that the left is beside itself to minimize the effect of this Christian message.  This is an educational site, so allow yourself to be educated.

 

 

More Than One Rat – Okay, time to inject some humor.  Proof positive that there is more than one rat residing at the White House. 

 

 

See What REAL Mob Intimidation Looks Like – From Nina Easton’s report, and then read what SEIU member, Al Marshall had to say in defense of SEIU’s actions.  The comments at the bottom of this article make much more sense than what Mr. Marshall had say.  Bottom line – indoctrination, accusation, and intimidation are the most useful tools idiots can come up with.

More Obama Mystery – How long will the MM continue to ignore the issue of fraud?  Are there really that many stupid people in the world that don’t care?

 

 

Whitehouse Crime? – Hmmmmm,  who’d a thunk?  Seems to me this Whitehouse is turning into one big, ongoing crime.  I’m just sayin’.

 

 

Abortion Aimed at Race? – I guess it just takes some folks longer to wake up than others.  But then, I think the whole human race ought to be on the endangered species list!

 

 

Marc Alan Lee – Last letter home from the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq in August of 2006.  Remarkable young man, and his living challenge is being answered by his mother.

 

 

Debbie Lee, Marc’s mother wrote her own letter to the president.  In this open letter to Obama, she states the obvious with the authority that she has every right to.

Right Side Shotgun! - 06/19/10

Deborah Venable

 

Mr. Veritas made me aware of this Must Watch Video – This happened at a recent Tea Party gathering in Georgia.  Herman Cain was leading a Q & A session when one of those “you should have been there” moments happened.

 

Editor’s Note:  As you watch this video, keep in mind that your government considers the participants of these tea parties the REAL American terrorists! 

 

There are actually four verses:

 

"Defense of Fort McHenry" (Francis Scott Key, 1814)

 

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

 

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

 

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

 

God bless that marine and his strong, clear voice!

 

Moving on in this update for the Right Side – in case nobody knows by now, your humble webmaster was born and raised in the state of Alabama.  I was an adult by the time the revolution of the sixties hit America full force.  I vividly remember when George Wallace was the governor, when the race war of the 20th century centered around fire hoses to restore public order, and burning churches and crosses, and dead little black girls made national headlines.  Everybody who was anybody came to the state to protest, march in the street, and proclaim Alabama as a racist state.  I know what was happening there because I lived it.  I had not been brought up as a “racist” but because I was white, that was all it took to label me as such.  It still is in many ways.

 

I left Alabama in my early adulthood - traveling and living all over this great country.  The more I saw, the more conservative I became.  I felt the country slipping away before my very eyes.  Maybe that is why my roots pulled me back to Alabama in my later years. 

 

Some of the finest talent that ever graced the music industry, and some of the best music ever written about the place I call home has enriched American culture for generations.  Like this piece from the group known simply as “Alabama” - My Home's In Alabama, released in 1980.  Randy Owen, Fort Payne, Alabama, and the group knew how to write good music and perform it impeccably.  That’s not just my opinion – their success is a testament to the fact.

 

Who hasn’t heard the original Lynryd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama – and I had to really look around for this one!  It is 1974 vintage.  If you want an education about the race war, and specifically how it affected Alabama, do some homework on this particular song and the band that wrote and performed it.  The original leader, Ronnie Van Zant, wasn’t even a native of Alabama, but was born in Jacksonville, Florida, as was his brother, Johnny Van Zant, who stepped into Ronnie’s shoes some time after his untimely death.  This is a relatively new one, That Ain't My America – by Lynyrd Skynrd – have a listen! 

 

Back to Alabamians, though, it is no small feat that two of the winners of that most popular of modern American entertainment (reality) productions, American Idol, have hailed from the state of Alabama.  Ruben Studdard won in Season 2 and Taylor Hicks in Season 5. A very honorable mention must be inserted here for Season 4’s Bo Bice, who was the runner up to Carrie Underwood, who won that season. 

 

So, what’s this old broad doing “singing” the praises of American Idol winners?  Well, I’m not too proud to admit that music and talent move me.  They always have.  I also believe in competition, and the nine seasons of this show have provided me with some of the small amount of pure entertainment I allow myself.  It is also something I can enjoy with my children – they all like the show immensely.  Just so you know, we also like football!  That’s something else Alabamians seem to have a talent for.  (That list would be far too long to put here!)

 

This piece is not meant to ignore the numerous talented, patriotic, and brilliant people who have also hailed from my home state.  Many come instantly to mind, who are not noted here.  The point is to stipulate that in many ways Alabama, and much of the south still gets a bum rap, in the rest of the country.  In much the same way that Americans get the same bum rap in much of the rest of the world, sometimes we need to take note that individualism is the source of our spirit, and collectivism its enemy.  Our heritage is ignored at our peril, and our heritage combines in a way no other country on earth has ever done, the uniqueness of individuals.  Individuals, though representative of their heritage and roots, must remain free of artificial controls on their abilities and willingness to assimilate where they wish, honor who they wish, live where they want, and peacefully express themselves in a way that defines the melting pot theory that founded this nation.

 

We see too many things going on today that would stifle the very individualism that is American heritage.  An overreaching government and ever-burgeoning debt mentality will destroy this country.  It is up to individuals to get their houses in order, then their communities, then their states, and finally their country.  Can we do it in time?  Of course we can!  Will we?  That remains to be seen.

 

I have been accused of “shotgun writing.”  This may be one of the best examples of it on this site.  It is deliberate in this case.  The old scatter gun touched on a lot of subjects, but the finger that pulled the trigger is one individual that thinks you just might be able to handle it.
