Perhaps the upper and middle classes have identified teaching/values being put forward in public schools which the parents know will not help their children, i.e. political correctness and its tenticles.

To President Obama:

It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict -“I will stand with the Muslims.”
It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that – “I am a Muslim.”
It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.
It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.
It was you who purposefully omitted – “endowed by our Creator” – from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.
It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the ‘HOLY’ Quran.
It was you who traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America.
It was you who instantly threw the support of your administration behind the building of the Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center.
It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host an Islamic prayer breakfast at the WH.
It was you who ordered both Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested that the mosques you have visited adjust their decor.
It was you who appointed anti-Christian fanatics to your Czar Corps.
It was you who appointed rabid Islamists to Homeland Security.
It was you who said that NASA’s “foremost mission” was an outreach to Muslim communities.
It was you who as an Illinois Senator were the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.

It was you who curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorists.
It was you who refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.
It is you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona to the UN for investigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.

It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.
It was you who ordered the USPS to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.
It was you who directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help “empower” the British Muslim community.

It was you who funded mandatory Arabic language and culture studies in Grammar schools across our country.
It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.
It is you who departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal WH religious events.
It was you who was un-characteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to depose Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, formerly America’s strongest ally in North Africa; but, remain muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.
It was you who appointed s your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett , who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Zero Hedge has an interesting post from Ron Paul. It is anecdotal at best, but there it does contain a number of points I have made too. While you might not agree with it, it is worthy of a read by all.
This demonstrates what part of our problem is:
The other part of the problem is the elected official who thinks this is not a problem. There was a reason we shutdown immigration between the 40s to the 60s.

No truer words have been said by Mr. Will. Put your faith in you neighbor, not in the unseen government. Your neighbor’s reality is much closer to yours. Also, DC only cares about itself and enriching those who are part of the big government machine.
With the Speaker’s actions over the last week on the budget deal, it certainly makes one question whether we have 2 political parties. The Speaker apparently lied to the conservative members of his party in order to get them to pass the rule which led to the passage of the omnibus spending bill. Seems to me that the Speaker is on the opposing party’s team. Maybe the new crop of Republicans will have the stones to fire the Speaker. He certainly doesn’t lead.
Do elections resulting in Republicans winning no longer matter? If so, how do we change the government?
I think this about says it all with respect to those matters.

@BarbaraJWalters The Media Research Center just posted a blurb from her interview with David Koch. “You’re not well liked” she says to him. Hey Barbara, maybe people don’t care what people like you inside the beltway types think. Afterall, its’s your policies and candidates that are sinking this country into chaos. You’re the ones who wanted fundamental change and we’re headed to becoming the world’s laughingstock as a result.

The crux of today’s politics is: How do we change DC when the people we put in DC don’t want it to change?
When you begin stacking up "worst years," consider who's causing them. Start by looking in the mirror.http://t.co/KXEz5744N6

Mark Levin presents one way in which change can be accomplished in his excellent work The Liberty Amendments. With Republicans controlling many state legislatures, perhaps this will happen. If not, then we’re ripe for the continued takeover of our government by authoritarian federal goverment.
History tells us that people tend to allow authoritarians to take over so that things stabilize. Is that where we are now?
