Disastrous Consequences of Lib Indoctrination from the 60s to Obama, Lloyd Marcus
Thanks to their WWII generation parents doing the heavy-lifting to save the country, spoiled-brat baby-boomers were free to pursue dreams and to make everything about them. In my youth, it seemed every other week there was a new hot bestseller or seminar in a ballroom – for you, all about you, and more about you....Today, even the left is having problems with the monster of politically-correct indoctrination that they created.

One of the comments (also translated) is even more poignant: “I cried when I saw the baby kangaroo coming up, thinking of all the babies (calves, chickie chickie chickie, little pigs and so many other things, seen to be treated as objects, murdered and brought to the table with naturally by the majority of people). No one sees the beauty and importance of each of them? Are lives. Are miracles.” All babies are lives. All babies are miracles. More
