One of the root causes, besides a corrupt, lawless media is liberal indoctrination in our learning institutions. I am middle aged and recently completed my college degree. (Always been a goal). I was freaking disgusted by the outright assault on longtime American values and especially conservative viewpoints. It was so bad that grades were sabotaged if you didn't align your work with a radical leftist agenda. Mind you this was at university in Utah which is a fairly conservative state. I couldn't imagine the brainwashing going on at a school in a liberal hotbed. I have real doubts now about encouraging my children toward a college education. Its is just plain sickening.
