Misdirection and deception

“Democracy can be destroyed only by its own incompetence, extravagance, disorder and dishonesty; Christianity can be destroyed only by forgetting the simplicity and sincerity of its Founder; great civilizations and states must break down from within before they can be conquered from without.”

“Let us begin ... and proclaim ... the return of discipline to our homes. The result (of a libertarian education... a pleasant indulgence of parental love) is an adolescence without responsibility, a maturity without character; and the maturity of our children will not thank us for the liberty of their youth. To exact nothing of a child that its intellect cannot understand and approve is the depth of the nonsense to which some of us dedicated ourselves in the days of our dreams.”

Who could have guessed that an unrepentant, agnostic socialist, writer and lecturer, Will Durant, would speak words of wisdom to us today? The deceptions expressed by our governing politicians - from President Obama on down - and the misdirections employed to create a post- American era, are designed to corrupt our Republic from within its institutions and our youth from within their homes and schools.
