This is a Cultural Revolution [View all]

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.
