I Was Trained for the Culture Wars in Home School, Awaiting Someone Like Mike Pence as a Messiah

A VERY scary read that outright illustrates the true goal of the conservatives.

samples:

"Michael Farris founded HSLDA in 1983 as a way to ensure that homeschooling was legal, but what he’s been striving for is the wild west. His organization is trying to keep homeschooling away from any interference so the children he trains through his sister organization, Generation Joshua, would be able to fly under the radar. Generation Joshua started in 2003, primarily catering to children homeschooled by extremely religious rightwing adults. Its purpose was to train us to fight in what the Christofascists have been calling the “Culture Wars.” It’s a loose and ambiguous term that basically means anything or anyone that doesn’t align with this very specific view of Christianity must not be allowed to continue."


"When we showed up to city council, local political party meetings and tours of the Capitol we asked intelligent questions, were respectful and had a vested interest in how our local political machine ran. We impressed every government official and staff member with our questions, earnesty and demeanor. In short, we were sneaky and polite Trojan horses; we had an agenda. Yes, even as 15-year-olds. It was forcefully handed to us by the adults in our lives who had been preparing for this since before we were born."

If kennedy retires monday as per rachel

Who do you think Trump moves in tio give the coup de grace to liberty?

Laugh if you wish, but giving it to Cruz would get him out of the senate, which would make Mitch happy.

sad to say we cannot appeal to virtue re: Trumpcare

so we will need greed. We need to tell the same seniors that voted for trump that he betrayed them and will TAX them because they are old..it is even called an age tax. Sorry to say, but that alone might work with the sort of people that woudl glaldy let millions die if it means they got a slice of the fat..now, we need to scare them, because fear and greed work. Showe the guy in the maga hat having to make meat loaf out of cat food while Paul and Mitch eat steak with trump.
