So Misled

Quick, answer the following:

What kind of government do we have in the United States, a democracy or an oligarchy?

Which is the lesser of two evils, fascism or socialism?

What is the purpose of the Constitution?

These are basic questions that a high school student should be able to answer. Yet, I’d almost be willing to put money on the table and bet that you got them all wrong. It’s not that you’re stupid, you aren’t. If you are a product of the U.S. educational system, and haven’t re-educated yourself, then you’ve been lied to and probably answered the questions with the lies you were taught.

I could fill this post with my own answers, but one of my Twitter friends (@leahita) sent me a link to a video a couple of days ago which does a far better job of answering these questions than I ever could. So I thought I’d pass it along to you.

Here’s the link: http://chi-townbungalow.blogspot.com/2009/04/heres-something-for-every-american.html

You owe it to yourself to watch this video. It will educate you as to what form of government we really have and how it and the freedom it is designed to protect is being stolen right out from under us.

The video is very well done, and I appreciate the fact that it is calmly rational and not radically alarmist. It simply is designed to educate you to the truth and remind you of the things that made the U.S. such a beacon of liberty.

I’d love to hear what you think after you’ve viewed it. And if you think it is as valuable as I think it is, then pass the link along to your friends. They probably need to be reminded of these things too.
