Cry and Howl

We’ve all heard the term “The Dumbing Down Of America”. It’s usually associated with the educational system here in the United States and it’s more than obvious. As the government and unions muscle more and more control over “educating” our children we’ve witnessed the replacing of real learning techniques for the indoctrination of left wing ideology. Union members (teachers) demand more and more from the taxpayers yet deliver much less of a quality education. (What’s happening in Wisconsin is the perfect example)

On history tests given to 31,000 pupils by the National Assessment of Education Progress, the “Nation’s Report Card,” most fourth-graders could not identify a picture of Abraham Lincoln or a reason why he was important.

But we accept it. We (American citizens) just follow along with what ever new politically correct, non offensive ploy we’re fed, accepting the lowering of our standards for excellence so some minority won’t be offended.

This lowering of the standards of excellence has reached to every aspect of American life. Education, law enforcement, politics, entertainment and yes even in the church this “dumbing down” or accepting less than excellence or even the truth has engulfed the nation … right up to who/what we elect as President of the United States. Right now it is difficult to comprehend the amount of corruption that’s infiltrated the United States government. Socialists, Communists, perverts of every sort, and out and out traitors dominate the membership of the Congress, the Dept. of Justice, the Dept. of Homeland Security, the Dept. of Education etc. etc. It’s staggering to think of the amount of corruption within just the three departments I just named. Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, Kevin Jennings … man o man.

What tops off all this dumbing down … settling for less … gotta be politically correct … lowering of excellence in standards is the result of Barack Hussein Obama as President. There used to be a television show called Harrigan and Son. Of course the show had a theme song. I remember a line of that song that goes … [Harrigan]  …(is)  a name that a shame never has been connected with …

“A name that a shame never has been connected”. How many of those in the Congress, in any department of government can make that claim? Not very many. Much of the time is spent lying or covering up some “shame” (if they had any) they have been involved in. The amount of “shame” associated with Barack Obama is just too much to even comprehend. Having Barack Obama as president is embarrassing to decent Americans that haven’t lowered their standards for excellence. But for many in the United States the slow, incremental “dumbing down” of the populace has worked well.

I think one of the most disgusting things the pot smoking, crack using president has done is to insert himself into the biographies of some decent presidents. I guess I’ll be the one to say, “Barack, you’re no John F. Kennedy”.

We have a person residing in the White House playing President of the United States that has made available information of national security so Hollywood can make a movie of the fake Bin Laden raid … in time for his potential re-election. His spending policies are so far out of control the fourth branch of government, the main stream press, can’t even cover his lying any more. He is a proven Socialist.

And yet there are seemingly intelligent people who in reality have been ‘dumbed down’ into lowering their standards of excellence, look away from the truth about Barack Obama.  As Patrick Henry said, “We are apt to close our eyes against a painful truth”.

They seem to cling to some hope of a utopia and a phony “equality for all”, so they pathetically grovel at the feet of a fraud.
