Via Drudge, an article in The Boston Globe. It discusses the fact that those under 30 don’t know that socialism is a bad thing: “When they hear “socialism,’’ they think Scandinavia, not Russia.” Additionally, most of the young folks in the article are students so they’ve never experienced the real world–don’t know the ins-and-outs of taxes, aren’t worried about health care (just wait until they have to start buying it whether they want to or not and they’ll have a rude awakening), and don’t realize exactly how far socialism impacts individual rights. Per the article:
And if the health care reform bill actually were socialist? He shrugged off that concern. “Socialism itself isn’t terrible,’’ he said, unless it involves the abrogation of individual rights.
These are the products of 30 years of indoctrination in both the public educational system as well as the halls of higher ed. No history, no idea of what freedom and individual rights are supposed to be. Scary…….
