But Red Is Still, In The End, Just Red

As a follow-up to my Comrade's post on some parents' idiocy regarding Che Guevara, there is a striking similarity between Guevara and something I heard on Rush's show today. Compare this statement from Guevara

To build communism, you must build new men as well as the new economic base.

to this statement by Judge Stephen Reinhardt in his unanimous majority opinion in a case involving sex education:

We agree [with the previous ruling], and hold that there is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding religious cultural social political sexual matters to their children, either independent of their right to direct the upbringing and education of their children or encompassed by it. We also hold that parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students. Finally, we hold that the defendants' actions were rationally related to a legitimate state purpose. [emphasis Reinhardt's].

Creating people in the State's image is what they want. Make no mistake, the leftists are not simply another political viewpoint - they are the enemy within who would destroy America as we know it because they hate it and everything it stands for. Namely capitalism and freedom. It's unbridled personal freedoms that allow the peasants to squander their lives instead of living them more productively. It's economic freedoms which allow the Robber Barons to exploit the poor for their own obscene economic gains. And they truly believe they are patriots because they see themselves as saving America - from itself.

It's as easy as Roger Hedgecock, Rush's guest host, explained to a caller on another matter:

Freedom is good, tyranny is evil.

Think about it, people. It really is that simple.
