Are Americans Oblivious to their Oblivian

For decades now, proponents of homeschooling and conservatives alike have been warning the populace that the bloated and left leaning education system in this country has been performing a grave disservice by dumbing down curricula and being more concerned with indoctrinating than educating. The fruits of their efforts, be they intentional or not, may very well be coming home to roost. We now have an entire generation (or more) of people who, for the most part, are ignorant of the founding documents and fundamental concepts and precepts on which this country was built. They are oblivious of their rights and the specified limitations of government set forth in the constitution.

How convenient that we have an ignorant and/or apathetic generation of pleasure seekers who care not about issues, trends or politicians who will truly have life changing effects on all of us in one way or another unless we wake up.

The American Thinker has an excellent piece titled, The Race for the American Mind that deals with the New Media and the battles we've won. Among them, the "shamnesty bill" congress and the president tried to sneak past us last year.

Talk Radio and the Internet were all over that one and the New Media continues to "watch the watchers" and "police the police" as this piece points out.

But is the New Media winning the race for the American Mind or is it too late? This is where it's gets interesting and this is when you need to go to the above linked piece and read what Selwyn Duke says in his American Thinker article. It's a good piece, if not a bit discouraging.
