This is a Cultural Revolution

[KT2000]

and make no mistake about it. Hearing that the Boy Scouts booed Hillary Clinton means it has reached into the building blocks of our nation. This is not politicos trading barbs - it is total abdication of what is meant to be a "good citizen." The boys who booed are one thing, but what about the boys who knew it was wrong and did it too? What about the boys who did not boo - are they afraid now?

Republicans in Congress are on board with the changes to our society into a mean, rude, cruel and heartless citizenry. Not caring for others and teaching children this way is exactly how the wealthy will control even more in the future.

A Cultural Revolution destroys the glue and structure of society to weaken it. Families are to be broken, traditions demolished, manners and respect for others is cast aside, and professionals are replaced with the uneducated.

1. Good analogy

[KT2000]

13. My good friend

is from China and lived through the Cultural Revolution. This was a discussion we had last night. She said -" many together are strong and one alone is weak." She then told me how people were separated from each other - families, class, geographical displacement etc.

Who knew Bannon reads Mao!

[Volaris]

17. Well, his boss admires Hitler so....

Of course Bannon reads mao. Bannon hasn't built so much as a fucking sand castle in his drunk life. He's a DEconstructor, end of sentence. The less 'stuff' there is that the government is allowed to defend, the more there is for him to take for himself.

2. And they booed President Obama apparently - a former scout himself ..

[yuiyoshida]

18. White supremacy in front of our noses and

in our faces. It no longer needs to hide, they have permission from the President to be this way.

3. It's always been about culture. That's why all the messaging stuff sounds stupid

Many who support ACA and want to keep it will still vote for backwards ignorant republicans who want to take it away.

4. Trump became President tonight

...of 1938 Germany



Unfuckingbelievable!

Boy Scouts of America better denounce this, and fast.

9. +1

19. Germany had brownshirts,

45 has redhats.

[tblue37]

22. And Twitler Youth. nt

5. There is no reputable news source that they booed Clinton...

Obama - yes.

If there is a reliable news source they booed Clinton, please let me know...

[TomSlick]

11. Just saw the recording

on Chris Hayes. The Scouts booed Hillary.

If the adult leadership of the Boy Scouts doesn't make it clear that this was a violation of the Scout oath - and what the Boy Scouts stand for - then they will have finally proven that BSA has become a right-wing political organization.

12. I don't watch MSNBC so I'll have to take your word on it...

[PunkinPi]

24. From the transcript at Time...

So -- and we worked hard there. You know, my opponent didn't work hard there, because she was told...
(BOOING)
She was told she was going to win Michigan, and I said, well, wait a minute. The car industry is moving to Mexico. Why is she going to move -- she's there. Why are they allowing it to move? And by the way, do you see those car industry -- do you see what's happening? They're coming back to Michigan. They're coming back to Ohio. They're starting to peel back in.

i saw it too.

6. Wedges are being driven that will not be soon forgotten.

I don't know about you, but I'm a spiteful little bastard. And I have a long memory.

7. Does the Christian right has too much influenced in the Boy Scouts?

The indoctrination seems widespread and perverse, from home, to schools, the church, and rightwing politics, children are schooled no differently than they are in madrassas, Hitler Youth, the young Communist Pioneers, or the Chinese Red Guards.

[JI7]

8. Yes. Remember their resistance to gays serving

[procon]

10. That right, I had misremembered that. nt

[DBoon]

23. Especially Mormons

Who run many boy scout troops

[byronius]

14. It was akin to Borat's Geroge Bush bit at the rodeo in Georgia.

He got the crowd to cheer for atrocity, playing on the most basic of primal themes. Trump's a master of this, and his success exposes just how weak we are.

I had quasi-forgiven the Boy Scouts. That was a stunning and un-American display, a betrayal of everything they say they stand for. Shameful.

15. Early brainwashing.

Crowd dynamics, peer pressure, carrots and sticks, etc., going to work on the young.

20. American Pastor: Christian Children Should Be Taught To Be Extremists Like Hitler Youth, ISIS

21. Wow.

Never heard of him before but glad to know this zombie is out there trying to use religion to devour the souls of children. Wackos like this are sometimes hiding some serious dark crime(s) in their past.

Thanks.
