Kick It When It’s “Down”
By Mitch Berg
Matt Abe at North Star Liberty reminds us that…:
This Friday, August 24th at 6:00 pm, the Teenage Republicans of Minnesota (TAR) will hold a state meeting at the Edina Community Center to talk about the pitfalls of communism.
Ananh Saenvilay spent most of his life under a communist government in Laos. He witnessed first hand how communist governments strip away the rights and freedoms we Americans take for granted…Senator Rudy Boschwitz will speak about his service with President Ronald Reagan…[and Reagan’s] clear goal of stopping the rapid spread of communism and restoring worldwide freedom through democracy and individual rights.
Almost sounds like a retro thing, dinnit?
Except it’s not; Marxism is alive and well and being peddled to our kids. Oh, it’s being marketed differently…:
For the Peace Racket, to kill innocents in cold blood is to buy the right to dialogue, negotiation, concessions—and power. So students learn to identify “insurgent” or “militant” groups with the populations they purport to represent. A few years ago, a peace organization called Transcend equated the demands of the Basque terrorist group ETA with “the desires of the Basque people”—as if a “people” were a monolithic group for whom a band of murderous thugs could presume to speak. The complaints that Transcend made about the Spanish government’s “blockade positions”—its refusal to cave to terrorist demands—and the Spanish media’s lack of “objectivity”—their refusal to take a middle position between Spanish society and ETA terrorists—are standard Peace Racket fare. Similarly, during Saddam’s dictatorship, “peace scholars” wrote as if Iraq were equivalent to Saddam and the Baath party, entirely removing from the picture the Shiites and Kurds whom Saddam’s regime subjugated, tortured, and slaughtered.
The recipes for peace that flow from such thinking seem designed not only to buttress oppression but to create more of it. For if democracies consistently followed the Peace Racket’s recommendations, what they’d eventually reap would be the kind of peace found today in Havana or Pyongyang.
Read the whole thing.
And remember – the schools (even an awful lot of private schools) give the “peace racket” not only full credence, but full and un-answered, unbalanced access to your children.
