Reverend Dan,

Absolutely correct! I am amazed that any Jew could be a supporter of rightward causes. Also, like the old Jewish joke, “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”

Glenn Beck and the rest of the far right only support Israel because their bizarre interpretation of the allegorical “Book of Revelation” requires it’s utter destruction along with anyone who doesn’t accept and embrace their brand of “Christianity” in an Armageddon that they are perfectly willing to foment. This of course would include every Jew in Israel.
Make no mistake. Glenn Beck and the religious right are NO friends of Israel.

Hopefully we will never wind up on consent to a theocracy! The combining of church and state is a horrible idea.and has almost always led to bloodshed , persecution, and brazen scams played upon a public terrified by threats of doomsday and hell by the so called emissaries of God! Hey, and Sousken, isn’t he a big capitalist himself ? Putting his brand of religion first could be considered treason and lunacy!

The responses from the opposition here are self-justifying, even though they are currently not supportive of anything the historic church has done, but take all the credit for the good works of established churches.

Yes, this trend in warlike America does strongly resemble the way Nazi Germany treated all Christian churches and also German Jews. Destroying confidence in anything except great wealth and propaganda inside of Christian churches is definitely a repeat of the phenomenal rise to power of Nazism.

I looked around on google for base model and I could not find anything on it, if you could provide some more information on it I would be thankful because I would like to know more about it. The reason it is interesting to me is because from what I know from my own psyche classes is that the brain is very mailable, and this idea of base model seems to go against that malleability. Also, one wonders how it could be true when their many kids who go on to promote or believe in values as adult that are the exact opposite, or generally opposed to the ones that they were raised with as children. I am not saying your wrong it just seem like a very strange concept to me.

Marta Kaye, Most of the Tea Party, like the Germans, think it’s only natural that we use a quarter of the world’s resources and cheat people to get them. There are so many similarities. Loud lies, scapegoats, flag waving idiots. These so-called-Christian fanatics are the biggest danger this country has ever faced.

Sooooooo, any ideas taught in school other than your own are indoctorination.

I remember from psyche 201 the idea of the “base model.”

Whichever concept is introduced to the young person first becomes the base model. Everything thereafter is compared to it.

So yes, it’s a race to be the first to indoctorinate the children, regardless of your beliefs. Ready, set go!

Marta Kaye,
the teas can only complete it, if the people let them.

Interesting that people like to always bring up their European roots, but stand by and let stuff like this happen. The Europeans I know will and would not let people like this step all over their rights.

Beck knows that if he gets to your kids while they’re still young enough to fall for it, he’s got them for life.

The sad thing is that if you speak negatively of Glen Beck here in Wyoming people look at you like you’re the lunatic.

Since 2001 our country has slowly became Germany of 1933. The Tea Party will complete it in 2012.

FInally, there’s a way to make children dumber without the use of inhalants.

Is this why the tea party groups want to strip away union rights for teachers? Is this why tea party groups are targeting the public sector teachers, school programs like arts (music, drama…), so that all children can be angry like them?

Oh, and Beck should be ashamed of himself. Just last month he was in Israel begging for forgiveness. When an Israeli journalist asked him about being a polarizing figure in America, he told the journalist that he now understand Israel, he likes Israel, he was sorry…then he does this! At the time I thought he was in Israel because he was going to run for POTUS or VPOTUS. I guess this is true, you can’t trust him or people like him.

Georgetown is pretty inclusive, helped by Toyota’s strong position on Diversity. There is a conservative college there that could have had a hand in starting these camps, though.

Most interesting: his propaganda schools are camps; the other guy’s camps are propaganda schools, whose pupils deserve to be massacred.

It’s absolute lunacy considering that some of the far right accuse liberals of attempting to “indoctrinate” children through early childhood education (Rick Santorum said this last month, as reported by Think Progress) and that public education is “indoctrinating” kids with homosexuality (as Tony Perkins has claimed). I don’t know if they are blind to what the Vacation Liberty School is doing or if they are willfully projecting their faults onto other parties.

The curriculum that the “school” has pieced together just seems too dangerous for the public good. I’m going out on an ideological or philosophical limb here, but I think the curriculum underestimates the capacity for men to do harm to those with less power than themselves.

If anything ever appeared like this, albeit with a liberal bent, the cacophony that would be raised by the likes of Beck would leave my ears ringing if I read it off a webpage or a printed page.

Methinks Baldur von Schirach, who led the Hitler Youth movement in Nazi Germany, would lovingly approve from his grave.

So would Dr. N.J. van der Merwe, who founded the Afrikaner youth organisation Die Voortrekkers down South Africa way.
