Generation WE

Millennials are the largest generation in American history. Born between 1978 and 2000, they are 95 million strong, compared to 78 million Baby Boomers. They are independent—politically, socially, and philosophically—and they are spearheading a period of sweeping change in America and around the world. No one knows the Millennials like Eric Greenberg. In Generation We, Greenberg explains the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, shows how they (and their supporters from other generations) are poised to change our nation and our world for the better, and lays out a powerful plan for progressive change that today's youth is ready to implement.

The points they make here are true and they are also the age group that have been completely educated and brainwashed by the liberal Progressive Machine. This is also the generation that the Obama Administration is targeting and co-opting into Obama Youth and Progressive Pons.

As many of their points are admittedly correct, their solution has been cooped by Alinskyites and the Progressive movement. There education lacks a basis in truth, especially American History and the Constitution. And the majority of them lack respect for their parents, the past, history and have little knowledge of both their heritage and their religious background, or any religion, other than the Green movement the United Nations dronism that leads to socialism or worse…

It is a scary prospect, or should be, and is very much the cause of their baby-boomer parents (my generation) who have done little to change the world as was our creedo and even their grandparents, who caved into the easier life instead of being the responsible examples and leader of their families. We, for generations now have allowed the Progressive Movement to steal our freedoms, our liberties our beliefs and even the minds of our children because we weren’t paying attention and chose fun, irresponsibility, out own wants and the easy way instead of staying connected to God and Church, our families, politics and what was going on around us and in our government and being hands on with children and their education.

Just listen to the words of the video… “We are the most ‘progressive’ generation ever”; that is not a good statement for freedom, for free-market capitalism, for godly relationships, or for America.

We have less than the equivalent of moments in time to connect with this generation, to apologize to them and to shift their thoughts and allegiance. We need to start by making time for the people of that generation who are in our lives, daily. Grandparents, call your grandkids, nieces and nephews regularly and schedule one on one time events with them. Volunteer with youth and school groups in your area. And parents, turn off your TV’s and get rid of your out of the home extra-curricular activities that don’t involve them. Help or at least check their homework; get involved in school projects and events; be at their events; develop common events and take time in the car, at the dinner table and just hanging out to really talk to them. And prevent them from getting involved in Obama Youth and Progressive Youth programs. And let us all fight any brainswashing type programs starting with public education.

This video is Progressivism in action produced by the NEA and other media and educational groups cooped by the Progressive Movement and embraced by the Obama Administration.

The Kennedy Center Honors – Tribute to Mel Brooks

Note: Did anyone else watch the Kennedy Honors last Nite? I found it pretty upsetting. The part where he asks about a Dictator GREATER than he and saying the New World Order is here. They were pretty blatant and it was sickening to watch them all applauding this kind of treasonous trash.

The Obama's gave this a standing ovation… any wonder with all the parallels between Obama and his plans for America and Hitler... and the Weimar Republic.

And throwing “NWO”, public service, the gay agenda and the positives of Islam into every TV program and commercial ‘they’ can through the NEA goes right along with the Alinsky Rules for Radicals... If you say it often enough, people become numb and except the inevitable, which is just another reason we need to fight their media brainwashing or stop watching it... and especially our kids and grandkids.

LEAKED NETWORK MEMO REVEALS: Obama Controls Your Television Set

On September 10th of this year the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that “from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,” and that this “unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year ‘I Participate’ campaign.”

On its face this all sounds rather benign in that silly, liberal do-gooder kind of way. The networks have launched these kinds of campaigns before and other than some clunky exposition awkwardly inserted into your favorite show to meet the mandate — no harm, no foul.

But this year there are a couple new strangers in town: “Volunteerism” and “Service.” You’ve heard of them. Their names have been bandied everywhere since President Obama took office, and this internal memo from the EIF to network showrunners obtained by Big Hollywood shows that the entertainment industry is well acquainted and eager to introduce both to as vast an audience as possible:

eif-doc – http://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=13226597–

Like the NEA story, once again we see the same buzzwords pop up; suggested topics pitched to an overwhelmingly left-of-center group: Education, health, environment, the economy and lastly — almost as an afterthought as some kind of “bi-partisan” cover – support for military families.

We’ll have to wait until next week to see what effect this initiative will have on the 60 television (and news) programs in question, but thanks to the intrepid Patrick Courrielche and Stage Right, today we can answer the simple question of…

“What’s wrong with this?”

Doing the work the Kamikaze Media (many of whom are participating in this event rather than digging for the story) refuses, and with the help of Big Government’s Dana Loesch, Patrick and Stage Right have discovered that when it comes to this White House – whether it’s the NEA conference calls or EIF’s iParticipate programming — all roads funnel into one place: online volunteer portals, including Serve.gov, where if you plug in “health care” all kinds of Planned Parenthood openings pop up along with a video dispelling those ugly “myths” knocking ObamaCare.

There’s scarier stuff, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise. *cough*Trutherism*cough*

We’ll start with Stage Right. Next week, tens, if not hundreds of millions of Americans, will be urged through the (ab)use of public airwaves to log on to the EIF iParticipate site and volunteer. Stage Right will give you a preview of what the unsuspecting and well-intentioned, including your children, will find.

If you’re thinking it’s all about “Meals on Wheels,” think again.

From there, Patrick Courrielche will describe how this EIF initiative fits into a broader White House plan, including the push to politicize the NEA, to redefine “art” as “service” and engage an all too compliant news, entertainment, and artistic community to start a volunteer army through these online portals.

First the NEA, now the EIF…

NEA White House Scandal

White House Initiated Phone Call of NEA to Support Obama Administration

You Satisfied With WH Response to 'Inappropriate' NEA Call?

An August 10, 2009 National Endowment for the Arts conference call in which artists were asked to help support President Obama's agenda -- a call that at least one good government group called "inappropriate" -- has prompted the White House to issue new guidelines to prevent such a call from ever happening again.
"The point of the call was to encourage voluntary participation in a national service initiative by the arts community," White House spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News. "To the extent there was any misunderstanding about what the NEA may do to support the national service initiative, we will correct it. We regret any comments on the call that may have been misunderstood or troubled other participants. We are fully committed to the NEA's historic mission, and we will take all steps necessary to ensure that there is no further cause for questions or concerns about that commitment."

Yosi Sergant: Who Is He??

“Barack Obama is a figurehead of a movement, I would call it the progressive movement. My ‘Goal’ is to get Obama elected. I use mechanisms I know, which are basically artistic. Look how important the grass roots are. Look at the effect they can have. I drank the Kool-Aid. I am alive with it, I believe an Obama saying ; ‘We are the change we have been waiting for’” …Yosi Sergent, LA Weekly Article, September 2008

NEA and White House Conspires to Transmit Propaganda!

$2 million behind National Endowment for the Arts politics push

On August 12, a group of 21 arts organizations endorsed President Barack Obama's health reform plan only 48 hours after a conference call in which a top National Endowment for the Arts official asked arts groups for help in advancing the administration's policy agenda, including health care.

One reason the arts organizations may have been so swift to follow the administration's suggestion is that 16 of the groups and affiliated organizations received nearly $2 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in the 150 days before the conference call. According to a Washington Times analysis of NEA records, more than $1 million of that total came from the stimulus package. (see timeline)

The explosive questions are obvious and so far the administration is not talking:

Is it ethical, or even legal, for a federal official from a grant-making agency to ask grant recipients to endorse the administration's political agenda? Is the White House crossing a line when a West Wing political appointee is on the call? Did political considerations infect the grant-making process at NEA?

Digging deeper into the grants only reveals more disturbing questions. Among the recipients of the grants, in this case, $50,000 from the stimulus package, is a group named Americans for the Arts. According to federal records published at OpenSecrets.org, Americans for the Arts has already dedicated $250,000 to lobbying expenses this year alone. The president of Americans for the Arts is an Obama donor and the affiliated political action committee gave $48,000 to congressional Democrats in the last election cycle. According to NEA records analyzed by The Washington Times, donors to the PAC received more than an additional $500,000 in stimulus funds.

Did Congress intend for stimulus money to land in the coffers of politically connected lobbyists? What protections did the administration put in place to assure that stimulus money was not steered to its political allies? Have other lobbyists been funded through stimulus programs administered by different federal agencies?

Since The Washington Times began writing about the NEA's shady conference call, NEA Director of Communications Yosi Sergant has been removed from his position and reassigned according to an agency spokeswoman. Kalpen Modi, an official with the White House Office of Public Engagement, remains in his position.

It is far from clear, that Mr. Sergant and Mr. Modi were acting alone in arranging what appears to be a back door effort to transform art promotion into political capital. Indeed, The Washington Times has uncovered an example of how the NEA's newly confirmed chairman may be involved.

In the weeks after the Sergant-Modi conference call, NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman had a conversation with Bob Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts. The Washington Times learned of the conversation because Mr. Lynch posted a podcast about it on ArtsUSA.org, the Americans for the Arts web site. According to Mr. Lynch, the conversation included a discussion of health care reform.

Since controversy erupted however, ArtsUSA.org has removed the link to the podcast from its blog just as the NEA tried to remove its fingerprints from the conference call.

The roots of the effort to turn the National Endowment for the Arts into a political tool of the White House go back to just days after Barack Obama's 2008 election. Here's how events unfolded:

Thought For The Day - 09.15.08

  “The big national picture is that food and fuel costs are going up and school revenues are not.”

…Anne L. Bryant, executive director of the National School Boards Association, on the record number of impoverished schoolchildren

(The public school system is broken… why interfere with and try to control charter schools that generally are working?!?)

 

Finally, Obamas Greek pillars in Denver make sense. In the Greek story of the Trojan War, Odysseus sought to gain entrance into Troy, so he cleverly devised a large wooden horse to conceal himself along with Greek soldiers. Tricked into believing the horse would bring them good luck, the Trojans dragged the horse into Troy --ignoring two skeptics (one of whom was Cassandra, the Trojan princess).

Like a modern day Odysseus, Obama is plotting to smuggle the National Education Association (NEA) into charter schools. But since charter school supporters would certainly not fall for a large wooden horse today, Obama has concocted a beguiling vow to double the amount of funding for charter schools. What better way to conceal NEA marauders and meddlesome bureaucrats than to stuff them inside deceptive government handouts?

Should charter-school advocates ignore the mythology lesson and jubilantly drag the proposed cash inside their schools, they will surely awaken wishing that reality were only a drunken stupor. In the aftermath, they will realize too late that the NEA and bureaucrats have already toppled them. By then, administrators and the NEA will have charter schools mired in the same muck of central control, worthless regulations, and bureaucratic red tape that plagues so many traditional schools.

In response to Obamas comprehensive scheme for education reform, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel said this about successful charter school: "The key is to identify what is working that can be sustained and reproduced on a broad scale so that as many students as possible can benefit." But considering that charter schools operate with much less government funding and far fewer essential assets than traditional schools require, are so-called education reformers and NEA kingpins sincerely interested in identifying how charter schools can still match and surpass traditional school results?

Effective charter schools do not need more government money. More government money would mean less autonomy and more bureaucracy. Successful charter schools prove more money is not the answer to better education. They succeed because of decentralized control, competent leadership, and innovative ability (Play Highlight Chapter 15).

In spite of their critics best efforts to diminish their successes, established charter schools are outperforming traditional public schools. According to a 2004 Harvard University report, a national study found that when a charter school has operated for nine years or longer, ten percent more of the students in those charter schools are proficient on state exams than students in neighboring traditional public schools.

In contrast, The New York Times headlined an article Friday that reiterates charter school critics proclivity to celebrate, [studies] generally have shown charters doing no better than traditional public schools. What the critics tend to avoid discussing is that most studies fail to distinguish between targeted charter schools that serve at-risk students-- from untargeted charter schools --that serve general populations. Furthermore, whenever critics gleefully report that charter schools overall are doing no better than traditional schools, they always seem to cover up that charter schools are still performing basically as well while spending a lot less taxpayer money and doing without other assets the teacher unions assert are vital.

Frankly, successful charter schools are more efficient than traditional schools. They have eliminated deadwood-administrative positions and other wasteful spending that still infests traditional schools. The also have broadened their search for skilled teachers by not restricting themselves to hiring only applicants with teacher licenses. Unlike traditional schools, charter schools have some flexibility in hiring non-credentialed teachers. For example, a charter school principal can choose to hire a retired surgeon desiring to teach high school science over an applicant with only a teaching credential and classroom experience. Charters also set their own teacher salaries, as opposed to collective bargaining. Teacher unions loathe this independence.

Nevertheless, Obamas announcement about doubling charter-school funding has surely left some charter supporters feeling effervescent. The Trojans apparently felt the same way as they dragged the wooden horse into Troy. But most of us know how that story ended. The Trojans were slaughtered, and their princess was raped.

Perhaps Obamas Greek, Styrofoam columns were merely a coincidence lending themselves too easily as a connection to Greek mythology. In contrast, the NEAs endorsement of Obama is no different than Sinon endorsing the wooden horse as good luck for the Trojans.
