The question has been put forward by several individuals here... Where is the Nation's organized resistance to insurrection?
There is no visible, organized, resistance as there are no leaders or established organizations to rally the Nation... The American Legion, the Foreign Legion, the Lions Club, the Explorer Scouts of America, the Air Patrol, and hundreds of other conservative institutions that traditionally held the attention of patriots and their communities have disappeared and with them... the infrastructure, and organizations that once produced the local and national leaders... who were the fulcrum of resistance. .. are missing in action. It was the active engagement of these cultural institutions that focused the efforts of patriots everywhere, as they resisted the subversive elements in our society. Many of the traditional platforms for motivating and organizing resistance to Marxism and Fascist conduct in society are gone or have become ineffective agents of the Amerian way.
The colonial Churches with their Black Robbed Regiments of pastors and lay leaders, who took up arms against King George, no longer serve as a catalyst for resistance to tyranny... The local political parties and activist organizations that formed the civil militias have vanished. Most of the civic institutions of support for our Constitution and the Republic have disappeared, setting the people adrift and bereft of the traditional leaders and organizations that served to focus the Nation's resistance to internal insurrection.
The People have abandoned the traditional social and cultural institutions of fellowship and community... in exchange for convenience and social relationships with electronic devices... most of the community organizations, entertainment, social gatherings, clubs, and fraternal groups have disappeared and with them our social identity ... our historic systems of social resistance to external and internal insurrection. The radical groups of Marxists and fascists are organized, well funded, and have competent leadership. America is a divided and isolated society... many don't know the names of their neighbors or maintain close relationships with their own family members.
This miasma of social decay... is the result of the nation's transition from a fixed agrarian society to a mobile society bringing with it serious economic pressure on the family. Family units now find it necessary to have multiple sources of income to subsist; thus, the free time once available to engage in developing social and community relationships, organizations, and leaders has disappeared, along with those critical institutions that once served our society... as the public agencies used to resist insurrection and invasion.
That is why there is a lack of organized and visible resistance... to insurrection in the Nation. A fundamental change has come to our society as we move away from the traditional institutions of social engagement and leadership to embrace a digital social order, complete with new relationships, bound together by electronic gadgetry with limited personal interaction... When was the last time one saw a computer perform the duties of leadership? That is what has happened to the Patriots resistance... it went digital and moved to the Cloud.

I do not teach any of those things. I teach design. This requires teaching them to think, see, observe, use both left and right sides of the brain. They are critiqued and must improve their work based on factulty critique and class critique, so they learn to take criticism. Few tests and quizzes, but much pressure to perform according to professional design standards.
From what I see, most faculty profess to be Christian. However, they lack any truth about doctrines of man versus We Are All Equal. To that end, administration heavily focuses on diversity through classroom projects and college cultural events such as movies. They accept equity as good and do not see it as enabling someone who probably is not suited for the program or the course. The administration puts pressure on all of us to promote both diversity and equity through each course. I have enough creativity in my course that i do neither of these things.
I also believe they are being pressured to the max on meeting projection data points. Our school President is driven to increase the numbers of (Appalation area) persons achieving a higher education degree. To do that, one department changed exams so more will "earn" an "A" or "B". Departments registed with the state, for say, nursing or dental, do not change as they must meet state standards, so in those cases, so those students are safe. For the rest of us, we are "guided" to include "diversity" projects, and we have to write about these efforts in our faculty performance reviews—but in our department, that is only one project in all the courses focused specifically on diversity. So, my program is different, few tests/quizzes, all tough efforts on the part of students, and just as tough an effort on the part of faculty.
What I can say, though, are some of my observations about the level of students coming in. The excellent are always there, every term. Many are home-schooled or Tech-Prep. The "B" student is a little less proficient that 5 years ago or earlier. The "C" student has no chance of getting a job in design, they lack inititative, creativity and learning skills. The "D" and "F" are the categories where the bottom has dropped out. Work that should be college level, I could have done in 2nd or 3rd grade. Seriously.
They have no understanding of concepts because they do not have a vocabulary of words because they were brought up on cultural rot and cartoons. They have no ability in spatial development because they do not read books and do not have to turn pages. They never learned why books have margins, so they run their lettering to the edge of the page without even thinking about it. Same thing digitally. After I lecture and demo, and ask them to review what I just said, they become deer in the headlights. I then prompt them (to review) and only one or two brave people will be able to put into their own words what I covered. It makes a short class discussion. That gives an idea of what it is like in the classroom. Ten years ago, I had mostly "A's and "B"s. Not now.
Last term, I was asked to "help" a student, who was/is autistic, get through my class, by giving him more time through CoVid. He has yet to perform. Usually, for us, the boat/tide finds it's own level... and they weed themselves out. What I am saying is the pressure comes from on high. Those of us not in academic programs are able to get away with adhering to our standards, but that is not true in the larger departments, like pychology and communications. I have also heard of an English faculty who does not bother to proofread and correct her/his student's papers. I also know that there is more emphasis on interractivity, through using gadgets to push the button for 1, 2 or 3, or something l ike that. Games—to reach 20-somethings–instead of the Puritan work ethic that made America great.
Just a heads up to Col. Nelson...normally I can open your messages or the links within, but this morning I'm unable to open them when using Chrome (Google) as my browser. Switching to Outlook as driven by Office 365, I'm able to open them. Perhaps Google is blocking some of your content.
I had the same problem and reported it to Admin Dee... she got right on it and it is now solved.... and yes, I believe Google is actively engaged in blocking or messing with conservative sites like the Tea Party... discouraging participation or blocking all content where individuals are less computer competent and just give up. We are living in a dangerous age where the left is censoring content and speech in every venue open to society.
Erny...same here...blocked 3 of mine to the COL......???

I'm certain that many of the German's felt as you do... they were Christian, hardworking, independent, law-abiding individuals... However, they stood by and watched as their neighbors and Jews were evicted from their homes, thrown out of their shops and family businesses, loaded on cattle cars, and shipped to the Nazi Death Camps... in Treblinka and Auschwitz, to be gassed and fed to the crematoriums...
No, passive and active civil objections to the mass indoctrination of our children.... with the anti-American rhetoric establishing the base from which our youth are lead into sedition and insurrection is not acceptable... We must do more, to correct what is occurring in our Public Schools... Even when such protest involves personal sacrifice and danger to one's career and personal safety... The Teachers Unions and organizations need to be broken up and their members (teachers) are where it starts.
I do agree with you, no unions. Also governement "solutions" need to go. Local control would do wonders. I do not know what else other than people become active Christians rather than comfortable and lazy observers.
Vouchers for all students ... with parents deciding where they attend school.... any school that has an acceptable accreditation that permits their students to enter a college or university... use non-profit public accreditation associations... several exist today.. including Christian Acadamy accreditation associations. Defund the public schools with CHOICE... real choice.
John... here is a link to the source for the US rankings... https://rankingamerica.wordpress.com/2015/01/06/the-u-s-ranks-14th-...
Consider any D or Union posts...to be fake news/info...SBT~! JL
They have spent a half a century building up their Communist army, infiltrating our government and corrupting our politicians and business. They only answer is to do the same. If we fight, they will send in the National Guard and they will kill us. They want to set an example and kill what is left of the Patriot Resistance. Be smarter, sue them and build a treasure trove to build up our own coalition. When the time is right, we will go on the attack. Sign my petition https://www.change.org/ConstitutionalRightsViolated
