Rational Nation USA

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Yesterday we posted on Michelle Bachmann's most recent looney activities. Her McCarthy era style fear mongering. Radical Islam, where it exists must be confronted and the appropriate actions to safeguard ourselves and our nation certainly must be taken. Where it indeed exists and when backed up with proper intelligence data to support such allegations. Senator McCain is right this time. We ought to listen to voices of reason because tyranny (often of the worse strain) can be self inflicted, the result of unsubstantiated and unbridled fear.

A short video taken off the Think Progress site is linked  here  and has select pictures in support of the sites obvious bias. Needless to say the sentiments expressed in the video are felt by millions of Americans. Video: I ...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA I have become much less supportive if Glenn Beck over the years, and have in fact been critical of him on occasion. Bet when a person is right they are right,. Beck's characterization of the the progressives indoctrination of American children is absolutely accurate and truthful. Speaking as someone going back forty hears to his high school graduation I know this indoctrination has been  going on for many years. I was subjected to it as well as every other public school student. That's not to say all teachers were bent on indoctrinating students in progressive/socialist thought, but many were. And such it remains today, only it is more pervasive. Revisionist history was gaining increasing support in the late sixties and early seventies.
