This item addresses the unpleasant and unfortunate lingering effects
of WWI has had on our country. Quote: "Attacking speech, ruining
farms. World War I exposed the cravenness and authoritarianism of
progressive intellectuals. As journalist Randolph Bourne wrote,
“‘Loyalty,’ or rather war orthodoxy, becomes the sole test for all
professions, techniques, occupations. Particularly is this true in the
sphere of the intellectual life.” Bourne lamented: It has been a bitter
experience to see the unanimity with which the American intellectuals
have thrown their support to the use of war-technique in the crisis in
which America found herself. Socialists, college professors, publicists,
new-republicans, practitioners of literature, have vied with each other
in confirming with their intellectual faith the collapse of neutrality
and the riveting of the war-mind on a hundred million more of the
world’s people…. Herd-instinct became herd-intellect."" And, "Despite
winning the war, Wilson’s Democratic Party was crushed at the polls in
both 1918 and 1920. H.L. Mencken wrote on the eve of the 1920 election
that Americans were sickened of Wilsonian “idealism that is oblique,
confusing, dishonest, and ferocious.” Unfortunately, the recoil against
bogus idealism was temporary. Starting in 2002, George W. Bush
practically recycled Wilson en masse to whip up fervor for invading
Iraq. Have today’s policymakers learned anything from the debacle a
century ago? Wilson continues to be invoked by politicians who believe
America can achieve great things by warring abroad. The bellicosity of
both Republican and Democratic leaders is a reminder that Wilson also
failed to make democracy safe for the world." https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/09/24/how-world-war-one-still-haunts-america/
This item suggests that liberals are wrong about what is holding down minorities. Quote: "There are many African Americans struggling to make ends meet in our society and liberals claim to be fighting for them. The Federalist Papers reported that noted economist Walter E. Williams believes the issue facing African Americans isn’t racial repression like the Left claims, but a much deeper issue. It’s the collapse of the traditional family structure." And, "According to Williams, “The No. 1 problem among blacks is the effects stemming from a very weak family structure. Children from fatherless homes are likelier to drop out of high school, die by suicide, have behavioral disorders, join gangs, commit crimes and end up in prison. They are also likelier to live in poverty-stricken households.” He cites an interesting statistic to prove his point that the collapse of the family, not racism, is at fault. Williams claims that in 1960 there were only 22 percent of children raised in single parent homes. That number skyrocketed to 70 percent of black children growing up in single parent homes in 2010. Another statistic he uses states that 11 percent of black children were born to unwed women in 1938. That number has similarly jumped to 75 percent. He uses these two facts to make perhaps his boldest statement in the article, “the black family was stronger the first 100 years after slavery than during what will be the second 100 years.” https://www.teaparty.org/professor-exposes-whats-holding-minorities-not-liberals-claim-267356/ Williams is one hundred percent right. Who created this situation? Why, it was the liberals, of course. Family destruction and government dependency laws implemented in LBJ's so called War on Poverty got this whole mess started. And get this he was a racist to boot. He once declared as he got the program started he would, to paraphrase, "...have those nig****'s voting Democrat for the next 100 years".
History proves liberalism equals the death of nations. This item explains. Quote: "If you can learn one important lesson today, it is this: liberalism is not new. It has existed as long as politics itself, and there is a long history of liberal activism, policy and outcomes that we can study. The lessons in history are important, and they bring invaluable illumination to the present. With that in mind, we’ll take a deep look at ancient history, namely Greece and Rome, and see how liberalism has fared over the eons. We’ll also see if anything has really changed after thousands of years of this political and economic style. In the end, you’ll learn the real purpose of liberalism and why it should scare you more than any other ideology in the present. And yes, that includes Islam and socialism." http://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/how-history-condemns-liberalism/
Speaking of what causes the death of nations. The current crop liberal Democrats are rank hypocrites when they charge that Trump is not fiscally responsible. Truth is it is the Socialist Democrats who have a long history of fiscal irresponsibility. This item takes a look back at the massive irresponsibility and wastefulness of the Obama years. http://www.freedomworks.org/content/how-quickly-we-forget-look-back-obama-era-agency-corruption-and-big-spending
