Whatever happened to that "role model for our children" mantra
Did they all of a sudden give up on our leaders being role models for our children ? I heard it all through the nineties. Clinton was teaching our kids godawful things.

So why the about face on the values?

I think its time we started using the issues theyve given us.

4. cause it was Connected bullshit to begin with - social engineering
Along with Trust, Under Control, Natural Law, Resolve, Confident, Firm, Leader. The attempt to imbue poor defenceless words with affect which people are conditioned to have brainstem reactions to. Ignore the higher brain function, and rely on pattern matching and imitation and modeling to drive human behavior. People given an effective lobotomy via conditioning do not present a threat as independent thinkers to those who would seek to control and exploit them. Believe that we are all just animals.

(For the historically inclined: is this not just a repetition but a recapitulation in the psychological sense of the naturalism which arose out of the reactionaries' response to the American and French revolutions and the Napoleonic wars ? The insistence that man ignore his ability to view nature from outside and instead only function as an unthinking cog within its systems ? Rather than engage in the harder task of synthesizing valid ethics and then living according to them, consciously and deliberately ? We're not to be trusted with our abilities. Cry the fascists...)

Teach your children absolute values, the ones religion used to provide, and to think for themselves. They will survive and succeed while the rest fail and perish. This administration is soliciting for a Darwin Award for the entire American people. Don't participate.
