This is a continuation of a point I made in my first post on this subject, The Welfare State: The Difference between ‘Feeling,’ ‘Understanding’ and ‘Wisdom’.  However, in this case, the point is made more clearly and more credibly because the two sources I cite to make my point were exempt from the problems most commonly associated with poverty.  Continue reading “The People’s Revolution: The Difference between ‘Feeling,’ ‘Understanding’ and ‘Wisdom’” →

Subverting Education: Islamic Influence on American Education

The Re-Writing of History in U.S. Text Books

WARNING!  This nation is under a deliberate and coordinated attack by the forces of Islam.  This is not ‘Islamaphobia,’ nor is it a condemnation of individual Muslims.  It is a fact, and my condemnation is of the religion, but not necessarily all of its followers.  For the most part, the average Muslim lives in a state of deception.  But the average American doesn’t know or understand enough about Islam to recognize the Truth of my words, let alone the truth of the threat we face.  This post is not meant to malign or attack Islam, but to educate you by detailing how Islamic influences have started to invade our public education system and is currently re-writing history while replacing America’s heritage with a false narrative that is decidedly pro-Islamic.  This is a long post because it has to be, and even then, it only scratches the surface of this issue.  Still, I implore you to read it through to the end – especially the last three paragraphs.

If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain.

Have you ever heard this quote before?  It is often attributed to Churchill, but has been around long before him (for more info).  But who said it is not as important as the Truth in the words. Continue reading “The Welfare State: The Difference between ‘Feeling,’ ‘Understanding’ and ‘Wisdom’” →

I am going to ask you to take time to watch both of the videos in the story below, but first, I want to explain something about dismissing information because you do not like the source.  If you discount information because you dislike the source, you commit the fallacy of ad hominem.  Continue reading “Why the Middle East Matters” →

Do you know what the word “Conservative” means?  The term actually has a definition, but that definition has changed over the years because different political ideologies have attempted to claim the term to describe themselves.  This has resulted in no small amount of confusion as to what someone means when they say “Conservative.”  Originally, the term “Conservative” was used to describe a political ideology most commonly credited to Sir Edmund Burke.  And the “Conservative” ideology for which he is credited for developing was associated with the conservation of whatever political system happened to be in place at the time.  However, before we go any further, let’s look at the dictionary definition of “conservative:” Continue reading “Political Labels: The History of “Conservative/Conservatism”” →

Do you know what the word “Liberal” means?  The term actually has several definitions, but those definitions have changed over the years because a political ideology directly opposed to what “Liberal” originally meant seized control of the word.  The people behind the movement did this to hide themselves from the public after the public had turned on them and their policies because they had nearly destroyed the country.  Continue reading “Political Labels: The History of “Liberal/Liberalism”” →

NOTE: This is part two of a revised post I originally wrote for The Rio Norte Line.  Just like part one, this is written for the serious student of American history and for those who really want to understand modern American politics.

Welcome to The OYL, a blog page dedicated to self-education with a special emphasis on trying to understand why things happen and what they mean to us, both individually and as a society.  I have been blogging for several years.  I got my start at the invitation of a friend and, until now, most of what I have written has been posted on his blog, The Rio Norte Line.  I have enjoyed my time on the RNL, and I fully intend to continue my contributions to that blog, but Continue reading “WELCOME TO THE OYL!” →
