Ingraham: Modern Left despises traditions and reality

Laura Ingraham explains how the Left’s agenda has caused America’s youth to be ‘on a collision course with reality’ on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’

Most Americans are just waking up now to the grip it has on our kids. We don't want our children to turn out as entitled cynics or despondent slackers. That means it's incumbent upon each of us to teach them that they have inherent worth as human beings; that God has a special path for them — all of them; and that yes, they're blessed to live in our country, which has been founded on liberty; that there's virtue in hard work and patriotism.
