Conservative Ayn Rander Ron Johnson's propaganda, Brainwashes Students

Offering a diverse group of speakers to speak to high school students doesn’t mean you invite hyperbolic fear mongering conservative demagogues who’s economic leanings are based more on ideology than reality. 

We should at least have a standard set in place where professionals, politicians, have a proven track record of success. What can you say about a politician who continues to refer to health care reform as a “government takeover,” a complete fabrication voted the biggest lie of 2010. Johnson has done nothing the last 6 months except echo the tea party message of draconian cuts and trickle down “voodoo economics.”  Janesville educators should be wondering why anyone would have included a politician with absolutely no experience or track record. What can students learn from partisan mumbo jumbo?

Ron Johnson doesn’t want to be placed on a pedestal. That’s what the first-time Wisconsin U.S. senator, a Republican from Oshkosh, told students in Advanced Placement Politics and Government classes at Beloit Memorial High School today.

The 80-plus students from educators James Hoey and Lyman Elliott’s four classes listened attentively … (Ron Johnson said) “Our national debt today stands at $14.3 trillion. That is immoral and it is going to greatly affect you, your children and my grandchildren." The numbers and comments drew rumblings from the crowd.

Johnson then went on to fabricate the idea Obama “demonized” doctors, touted a free market that took down the global economy and now wants to go back to a private insurance industry that has priced 52 million people out of the health care. I’ve been covering this guy since his campaign, and disputed every point in an Upfront with Mike Gousha appearance.  I’ve included it below:

The launching point for his decision to run for office came after President Obama “demonized” the quality of today’s medical doctors and healthcare as part of his push for national healthcare, he said. A speech at a tea party event jumpstarted his final push for public office, he told the students.

“The power of the free market system is an incredible thing,” he said. “Take advantage of it, appreciate it and vote. Get involved, make sure you are informed before you vote.”

It would help to be an informed senator too.
