American Thinker:
Caryn Boddie
It happened that, as I was thinking about writing about my husband and me being canceled by our own children six months ago — we have been agonizing about not being able to talk to them or see our grandson for all that time — a thought popped into my mind: blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Weeks ago, while struggling with how to understand what has happened, I picked up a copy of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Then I looked at a book by David Horowitz entitled Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model. What I read convinced me that our family, more so our children, had been targeted. We, as a middle-class family who used to live together in the suburbs, were in the bull’s eye.
Consider the last chapter of Rules, which was published in 1971. It is entitled “The Way Forward.” Alinsky writes, “Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America’s white middle class. That is where the power is[.] … Large parts of the middle class, the ‘silent majority,’ must be activated[.]”
The left has been working on making the children of the middle class into radicals, turning them against their parents and their parents’ values for fifty years now, in multiple generations. All the things we middle-class parents believed in and called good, our children now call bad and false, and more than bad and false, worthy of destruction, especially if we parents are Christian and conservative, and even more so if we are Trump-supporters. Our cancelation is the fruit of the left’s strategy to remake America. more
See the vicious brainwashed Parson children in “1984.” Their parents lived in terror of them and the girl eventually ratted out her father to the Thought Police for talking in his sleep (allegedly…it’s unclear if he actually did so but that’s precisely the point).
So you let the communists raise your kids and you’re surprised they turned out communist? What did you think was going to happen?
Cancel their inheritance!
If they totally believe what you purport that they do then you are better off without them in your lives!

Nailed it. When I went to college my dad made it clear to me not to Imbibe any of the B.S. they were going to “teach” me. I was there to get a piece of paper after 4 years so I can get a good job… that’s it. If I could have handed over a lump sum of money on day one and the university handed me a degree I would have done that and expedited the process
Indeed. I’m a victim of this and take some solace it isn’t just me. My daughter all but turned me in as a stalker for dropping in at her work just to say hello. BTW, it’s a retail location, open to the public.
My wife and I are struggling with this right now.
Not long before my mom passed away three years ago, she made the gut wrenching decision to exclude one of my sisters out of her will. I neither encouraged or discouraged my mom’s decision because it was hers to make on her own. I will say that my sister had it coming for the way she treated my mom. I know that my dad would have approved of her decision. My mom made me promise to help my sister if she ever fell on hard times, so my mom still loved her in spite of the way she was treated by her.
