The US has experienced growing pains since its founding as a British Colony in the 1600s. The 150 years it developed as a colony allowed for land ownership, religious freedom and the incentives required to develop self-sufficiency. Conflict with Indian Tribes created wars that lasted until the 1870s.
The early years gave all citizens a common purpose. When Britain challenged these rights, we rebelled and gained independence by 1789. The next conflict over slavery was finally resolved in 1865. The US did well by implementing the technologies introduced in the Industrial Revolution from the 1820s to 1900.
We had expanded the US with the Louisiana Purchase in 1802, the Mexican American War in 1848 and the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. The US completed the transcontinental railroad in 1869.
After 1870, the US continued to add infrastructure and technological innovations to improve our productivity and our standard of living.
We endured World War I in 1917, the Great Depression in 1929 and World War II in 1941. In the 1950s, our culture remained solid. We were still hard working and grateful to God for our success. Our culture reflected our gratefulness.
In 1959, USSR Chairman Nikita
Khrushchev predicted that the US would fall like a ripe fruit. He said:
"Your children's children
will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept
communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until
you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have
to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe
fruit into our hands." "The democracy will cease to exist when you
take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
In the 1960s, we saw the first signs of our cultural decline. We continued technological innovations, but became more vulnerable to destructive elements that crept into our culture. The American Communist Party published their goals in 1920. It published a larger version in the 1960s. Many of these goals had been achieved.
In 1971, Saul Alinsky wrote
“Rules for Radicals” to show American Communists an effective path forward to
“fundamentally transform” the US. The Rules include:
- "Power is not only what you have but
what the enemy thinks you have."
- "Never go outside the experience of
your people."
- "Whenever possible go outside of the
experience of the enemy."
- "Make the enemy live up to its own
book of rules."
- "Ridicule is man's most potent
weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack
ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your
advantage."
- "A good tactic is one your people
enjoy."
- "A tactic that drags on too long
becomes a drag."
- "Keep the pressure on."
- "The threat is usually more
terrifying than the thing itself."
- "The major premise for tactics is the
development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the
opposition."
- "If you push a negative hard and deep
enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the
principle that every positive has its negative."
- "The price of a successful attack is
a constructive alternative."
- "Pick the target, freeze it,
personalize it, and polarize it."

Hillary Clinton, Bill Ayers
and Barak Obama have recommended this book and it has been adopted by the
Democrat Party. The “Rules” are designed to undermine the US and encourage
voters to become “useful idiots”.

The US Education system has allowed this cultural decline and needs to be replaced by a system that will allow the US to resume its cultural development.
