Conservative Parents, Left-Wing Children

Link to article, which is pretty funny

Summary: Some conservatives sadly have children who grow up to hate America, Christ, and everything we at Townhall stand for. And that's sad.

Hence why with few exceptions people that tell me they graduated from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Stanford et. al. I scorn and do not seek further interaction. I to this day will not hire one either.

All their money was spent to make them the dumbest people in the room.

Turning your kids over to the public schools will do that. I have five kids in private school and even still I need to work mightily to help them understand the myths and falsehoods of liberalism. The key is not just telling them the way it is, but taking the time to explain why. My oldest is out on her own at college now and I’m very proud of the independent thinking conservative she has grown to become. She still emails me and says she knows something she’s hearing has to be wrong and could I help her understand it better. It’s a lot of work, but so is every other aspect of raising a child properly.

Wait until “reality” slaps the faces of these children. As always, they realize their parents were RIGHT.

Yeah, I’ve got one like that. Happened when she went to college. But, unlike liberals, I don’t believe in group think. She is free to choose, hopefully life experience and a crushing tax burden will be the “I told you so”.

Mr. Prager neglects the K-12 indoctrination. After 13 or more years of government schooling the children have become comfortable with both the godlessness forced on them in their government schools and the socialism that is the very foundation upon which “public” education is built.

Here are some facts:

1) Children in secular schools **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the classroom.

2) If they attend government schools they risk learning to be comfortable with the single payer and tuition-free entitlement that is the very foundation of government schooling. Hey! If the government can give the citizen tuition-free schooling, why not use that power to get lots of “free” stuff?

3) Nearly all the K-12 teachers in this nation ( both public and private schools) were trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. The indoctrination continues into the highest levels of university graduate school!

4) Drive by nearly any of those Marxist run K-12 schools, colleges, or universities in this nation, and you will see schools stuffed full to the brim ( **willingly**) with the children of conservatives and God fearing so-called “patriots”.

5) The children are being indoctrinated by Marxists to hate their nation and heritage. The boys, especially, are being humiliated and drugged into submission. The Marxists are hard at work producing girly Peter Pans who are incapable of defending themselves, their families ( if they can figure out how to form one!), and our nation. The indoctrination of our youth is already having consequences in the voting booth, culture, and birth rate. It will only get worse.

Will God save this nation? I doubt it. Why should He when conservatives and God fearing parents mistreat their children in this way and subject them to such evil? ( It's a millstone thing.)

Look, even Reagan couldn’t keep two our of his four children from the clutches of liberalism. His adopted son Mike understood more readily than his natural born kids. I guess it’s just not easy.

If you can't explain conservatism it's pretty hard to teach it to your kids. I have two beautiful daughters, one in college and one still in high school. They are both conservative because we have presented conservatism in a logical manner. It's really that simple. It's not about religion, it's about logic. If you are a liberal, it's because you either aren't okaying attention, or you are an illogical person. If you are illogical, you are not intelligent.

My kids hated public school, and I think it is one reason my kids are conservative.

My kids hated how the public school did all sorts of things for the underaceivers. There were all sorts of awards for kst improved (gehavior, grades, tet scores), but there were never awards for kids who were smart and well-behaved.

I remember my son had to write a paper takng a side on whether or not everyone should go to college. My son said no because some kids were lazy and didn’t work hard enough.

Then the public school treated my special needs daughter poorly. They would make her miss recess because she wasn’t finished writing or coloring something. They did not take the time or effort to understand what she needed, even though we provided the test scores and data to show what was going on with her.

My kids think public school is a disaster, they hate going to the department of motor vehicles, and they can’t belueve how much we spend in taxes.

Question your own values in front of your kids when they are young, and repeatedly as they age. Articulate why those values are correct, and defend them against criticism explaining why the criticisms are invalid. Whether sending our kids to the public schools, to a university, or into the general society, it is not enough for them to have accepted traditional values. Our kids must know why conservative values are correct and why progressive values are wrong, destructive, and harmful to everyone including those they claim to champion as special cases in need of special help.

I don’t get it. If my kids were to become liberals, i would consider it a personal failing of mine and my husband’s. I have kids 19, 22, and 25. Each of them is politically informed and as conservative as possible. the 19 yo daughter has door knocked for Ken Cuccinelli. my 22 yo son is at Syracuse University, leftwing bastion, and wears NRA and Prolife tshirts on campus regularly {he is on the hockey team and hasn’t gotten any crap for it from anyone}.my 25 yo daughter faced off with Caroline Matthews in her all girls Catholic HS class over whether you can be Pro abort and Catholic, and came out the winner. I think conservatives need to do a better job of raising their kids to know and understand conservative values and WHY we think the way we do.

People like liberal indoctrination even if most couldn’t define it or even spell “indoctrination”.

My (currently) left-winger was a good, solid conservative all thru undergraduate school. It was grad school that created the current thinking. Makes me sick, but I’m praying it’s a phase that will be passed thru.

  1. What I take from all of these comments is that "conservatives" (or what Freepers imagine "conservative" means) are defensive, underachieving whiners who are hostile to anyone who challenges their point of view, and they'll disown their own kids if they step off the family compound and formulate their own opinions. Bitter clingers.

    Projection can be an ugly thing.
