Ed Shultz recently blasted Glenn Beck for suggesting we should abolish a public school system that engages in outright indoctrination. Beck is correct that the government monopoly on schools is (and has for some time) creating uninformed, juvenile citizens dependent on the Nanny State. But instead of offering any kind of logical counter argument, Shultz [...]

Despite socialism’s long history of failure and oppression, there are those for whom it is still the only economic model from which to govern. To these people I ascribe the attribute of evil.
