In reply to the discussion: Santorum: Obama wants Americans to go to college to become indoctrinated [View all]The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)17. This Santora-Rant is full of Froth
How many children enter college? Where did the 62% figure come from? What indoctrination? "The Left" is "holding power" in America? Just a mess of RW talking points strung together in the same way as usual.
The RW's goal is to create a plutocratic theocracy. They have a pretty good chunk of their infrastructure in place now. RWers like Santorum want a US population that will go along with whatever they do or say or pass into law, without question. Critical thinking is like Kryptonite to the philosophical underpinnings of a plutocratic theocracy, and the RW hates higher education because it teaches critical thinking skills.
