Kids trained to be dependent, covetous, Liberal

America is obviously in great trouble. We have wasted billions of dollars and countless years trying to fix our moral problems through education, legislation, and self-esteem affirmation. Yet like Dorothy with her red sequined slippers, parents have had the power to make the changes all along. This must be understood—parents have the power to shape our nation! In this timely book, Reb Bradley shows why our nation’s future depends on parents and politicians waking up.

Review
"This important book provides the foundation for understanding the cause of our country's problems, including the financial crisis of 2008." --Alaska State Senator Joseph Orsini, Ph.D.

Review
"Reb Bradley brilliantly takes us out of what C.S. Lewis called our slavery to the immediate past and gives the whole nation the long-term strategy of victory of good over evil, free enterprise over socialism, and all the other urgent battles we face. Whoever trains the children of the coming generation, controls the future. If we are ready to listen, Born Liberal, Raised Right can be our blueprint to save our nation's future."

"A few decades ago, people were just as human as we are in this decade," he writes. "Like us, they got angry, they lusted, they coveted, and they drowned their grief by one means or another. But in one important way, they were different from us – they had greater self-control. Because they were more self-restraining, they did not allow themselves to be ruled by their anger; hence the murder rate was markedly less. They lusted, but they had greater sexual self-restraint, so had sexual contact with fewer people and contracted fewer STDs. They coveted other people's money and possessions, but they had the ability to not act on their covetousness; hence fewer were compelled to steal. In the last 40 years we have lost the virtue of self-control. No longer is our society populated by individuals who can restrain or 'govern' themselves. To lack the capacity to control one's urges or passions is to lack what our nation's Founders called personal 'self-government.'"

Bradley contends that liberalism is the natural condition of the human heart and for people to be capable of self-government, they must be trained against their own nature.

"In this age of technology, one might say that liberalism is our 'default' operating condition," he writes. "Throughout our childhoods, our parents must work hard and change our settings to keep us from operating in our default mode. If parents are successful, we enter adulthood with our new settings fully locked in. Left untrained, all children would grow up liberal in their outlook."
