So, they didn't get it the first time.....

So.... this was their plan.

1) Take over the education system and destroy it
2) Wait 50 years
3) Try again...

I would challenge anyone to find someone under the age of 30 today that has any idea that we've been here before and overwhelmingly rejected it once already - and that it's a well-stated goal of the socialists to call it "liberalism" and implement it piece by piece.

... but then he became president and rather than letting social security die, he drastically increased the social security tax to keep it alive.

Maybe he was trying to build it back up, after Johnson used SS to fund Vietnam....

... or perhaps, just maybe, he was following the Rule of Law at the time? I dunno, a President may disagree with the Law, but the Law is the Law and it must still be followed, so if the Law at the time was that the government must provide SS, then so it was.

Obama, on the other hand, seems to have no regards whatsoever for the Rule of Law, and seems to just make it up as he goes...

Why? I'm not blaming you. It's not your fault that the left has gone to great lengths to make sure that an accurate account of history is not even available to you. What's more, Children in school are routinely persecuted for "possession of the truth," or even speaking from a conservative viewpoint. I have heard of children in certain schools being suspended or expelled for disagreeing with ultra-liberal teachers... "insubordination."

One of my friend's kids had his copy of the Constitution confiscated at his school because he was letting other kids read it. "Causing a disruption"

It really is a war, and we're losing...

As an opponent to increased taxes, socialized health care, and small government... there's no excuse for building it back up.

Where in the Constitution does it say that the government must provide health care to the elderly? Reagan campaigned as a small government, low taxes, etc. candidate, but once elected he became the status quo. Rule of Law... wasn't Reagan the guy that bought weapons from China, sold them to Pakistan, trained Pakistan forces, and set up a covert operation (bypassing Congress) to fund, train, and arm Muslim rebels in Afghanistan to fight against the Soviet Union? He created a jihad against the Soviet Union based on the Soviets infringing on 'holy land'. He then armed the jihad to fight against these infidels... hmmm, I wonder how that has turned out?!?!
