American culture is not like that. Our individuality is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. The problem in today's society is the lack of education or interest in affairs of state

And the attitude that many young people have today is exactly what the leftist extremists WANT us to have. Uninformed, and in the dark.

If our masses keep wallowing in the dark, they will never realize that they are heading towards a river, and it is only a matter of time before we fall in and drown.
