 The Effect on You

Contrast the repercussions of liberal politics versus those of Swindall’s "real thing" (constitutional government). Liberal politics in America began about the same time as:

1. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.

2. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

3. Encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.

4. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

5. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays, and other trivialities.

6. Get control of all means of publicity.

7. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.

8. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscation and leaving the population helpless....

COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION

(Captured at Dusseldorf in May 1919 by Allied Forces) 1

Your Family

Needless to say, the days of Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver, and Donna Reed are long past. In spite of their "hokiness," they depicted the average American family’s economic status and morality. The average American family could relate to these fictitious characters. All could relate to a child’s skipping school, chewing gum in class, or talking back to teachers. Never in that era would someone dream of metal detectors in schools or children’s shooting teachers or each other. Nor would parents fear drug use by their children or, sadly, vice versa.

Also, in current America, commonly both spouses work to enjoy the same living standard as in the 1950’s when, on the average, only one spouse needed to earn an income.

Education

Our government schools produce one of the highest illiteracy and innumeracy rates of the industrialized world.

·  ·  Today, nearly one out of four young people who graduate from or drop out of high school is a functional illiterate. Increasing numbers of adults admit that they cannot read or write. Colleges and universities find that incoming freshman need remedial training in reading, writing and critical analysis....Children of poor and minority parents suffer most. Illiteracy in ghetto schools is as high as 40%. 5

A 1998 Georgia State University publication entitled Signal reported that a poll revealed some American college and university students actually think the communist ideal, "From each by his ability, to each by his need" is in the U. S. Constitution. Many elementary and junior high school students, and sadly many adults, think the First Amendment reads and mandates a "wall of separation between church and state." LaHaye, in Battle for the Mind, presents a strong case that American government schools are indoctrinating students into the religions of Secular Humanism and Atheism without regard for the secular school system’s cherished ideal of "a wall of separation between church and state."

Further, they teach students a household of two moms or two dads is acceptable and does not hinder the healthy development of youth. Perhaps a parent considering the "going thing" of leaving a spouse for someone of like gender should consider Wade F. Horn, Ph.D.’s 6 speech presented during Hillsdale College’s Shavano Institute for National Leadership seminar, "Educating for Virtue: The New Values Revolution," (January 17, 1997; Coronado, California, as presented in Imprimis, a Hillsdale College periodical).7 He said:

·  ·  As I indicated earlier, nearly four out of every ten children are being raised absent their fathers right now. The result is that juveniles are the fastest growing segment of the criminal population in the United States. Between 1982 and 1991, the rate at which children were arrested for murder increased 93 percent; for aggravated assault, 72 percent; for rape, 24 percent; and for automobile theft, 97 percent. Although homicide rates have increased for all ages, those for teenagers have increased more rapidly than for adults.

The teen population is expected to grow by 20 percent over the next decade, and this is precisely the generation most likely to be reared without fathers. The prospect has led many sociologists, criminologists, and law enforcement agencies to conclude that shortly after the turn of the century we will see an adolescent crime wave the likes of which has never been seen before in this country. If that were not enough, we know that each and every day: 7,700 children become sexually active; 1,100 children have abortions; 2,500 children are born out of wedlock; 600 children contract syphilis or gonorrhea; and six children commit suicide.

Fatherlessness is not solely responsible for these tragedies, but certainly is a major cause. Indeed, all available evidence suggests that improving the well-being of our children- and ultimately our nation- depends upon finding ways to bring fathers back into the home. The question is how?...

The tide is turning, however. Even many die-hard critics of the traditional family have finally been forced to admit that their ivory tower theories are wrong; in reality, children need to be raised by two parents. And parents need the freedom to decide what will best serve their own children....

His speech also outlined differences between male and female parents, claiming a child develops best through duel-gender parenting. Same-gender couples considering adoption should ask themselves (considering the vast majority of children grow to be heterosexual) how could we exemplify loving the other gender to our child(ren)? Individuals desiring a same-gender relationship should spare children repercussions. The person considering a homosexual relationship should decide prior to committing a lifetime to the other-gender bride or groom (certainly, prior to child-bearing). Parents sacrifice their rights when they produce children. Whether or not God exists, parental non or unhealthy involvement with their progeny victimizes children. Swindall’s biblical opposition concurs with common principles of emotional health and well being, ethics, and morals.

Another fact American parents can ponder is that schoolchildren are commonly prescribed the drug Ritalin to render them "normal." What explains the wave of hyper-active (Attention Deficit Disorder) children in recent decades? Christian neuro-psychiatrist, Dr. William Van Horn 8, on one of his WNIV radio broadcasts on AM 970 in Atlanta, Georgia, suggested that "normal" is child behavior convenient for teachers. Perhaps the Food and Drug Administration should approve a drug to help teachers cope instead. Consider the following Eagle Forum report:

Free Speech

Our era also produced a State of Colorado assembly’s introduction of a bill that would de-legalize, in the name of preventing "hate speech," a preacher’s teaching a congregation homosexuality is wrong for them based on their holy book (even in this nation of "Free Speech" and "Freedom of Religion").

Social

Adult suicides may have escalated for a while, but many suicidal persons now find life manageable provided they have their appropriate dose of Prozac, Zoloft, or Paxil—the wonder drugs. However, why the need for anti-depressants? Why are so many Americans battling depression and suicide? Many religionists and libertarians purport that since government schools have been compulsorily indoctrinating America’s youth away from religion and traditional values and morals, they have no value for life or sense of purpose. Religionist demand that God be returned to schools. We libertarians demand that government get out of their failed education business. For information on the libertarian Separation of School and State Alliance contact Marshall Fritz at https://honested.com/page1.php.

All of the eight presented elements of The Communist Rules for Revolution are present in modern America. Swindall’s "real thing" is practically nonexistent. Now, why does America face adolescent shootings, an illiterate citizenry, fatherless children and their problems, a citizenry ignorant of the differences between communism and constitutional republicanism, increased drug use, suicidal adults and children on medically established drugs, and "free speech" endangerment? It is because totalitarianism does not work.

In recent decades, government has increasingly dominated American lives. Americans live by complying to governmental authorities. If American governments (federal, state, and local) assume authority over their "subjects," they must assume blame for their problems.
