McBride . . . Don't be bitter. You said, "I would like for one of these sanctimonious people to provide one single example that shows a successful example of a “progressive” government.Please enlighten me." I enlightened you. Yes, the reporter was black, and that apparently upset upset you. I'm sure you'll work on that. As to your other ancillary dodge . . . . . . . " . . . why aren’t the socialist wannabes buying one way tickets to Sweden?" We don't need to. Haven't you heard, we're socializing America. I'm afraid you're the one who's going to have to buy a one-way ticket . . . to Texas. 107. McBride . . . Don’t be bitter.

I enlightened you. Yes, the reporter was black, and that apparently upset upset you. I’m sure you’ll work on that. As to your other ancillary dodge . . . . . . . ” . . . why aren’t the socialist wannabes buying one way tickets to Sweden?”

We don’t need to. Haven’t you heard, we’re socializing America. I’m afraid you’re the one who’s going to have to buy a one-way ticket . . . to Texas.

One, don't do that. And Two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a ---- education you coulda got for a dollah fifty in late chahges at the public library. Good Will Hunting (Will to a Havad boy) I however must disagree with Mr. Hunting on one thing, the education you would get by $1.50 in late charges would probably be superior to that which you get in your typical university. Which is why my husband and I educate our children at home, and we will continue to do so for the advancement of their knowledge and wisdom. As for a college education, that will be up to them. ie.Training in a technical field, starting their own business, or seeking an education fit for a true statesman such as George Wythe gave to at least 2 of our founding fathers, and several others who gave our country it's hard fought start. If you want to know what a real liberal arts education looks like research the education of Thomas Jefferson under the mentorship of George Wythe. I have read and followed the comments of this article since the 5th, and I would love to comment with one of my favorite movie quotes

I was aware that liberal arts faculty are like that, but did not expect it from a business school professor. I defended the U.S. as an exceptional country that does not need to apologize to Islamic countries, and he responded with name-calling. Is that how college professors debate issues these days, by reverting to the juvenile technique of name calling?

Also, are the lefties just the 60's generation crowd or are the younger professors coming in to the humanities just as left? If so, how do we get them out? Kinda of reminds me of cockroaches, once they appear its hard to get rid of them. My old man was a college professor and he would come home just shaking his head after the latest faculty meeting. He had a saying, "these liberals are so open-minded that their brains have fallen out." He would also call them hypocrites because "... they proclaim they are the most tolerant, but if you disagree with them they become the most intolerant>" He believed the lefties were essentially fascists So, the question is, how do we take our Universities back?

That damage, done to the once incomparable German Universities, not by the Gestapo but by racist and careerist academics (driving out Jewish scholars cleared out the competition and created many job openings for lesser German academics), has not been undone. My daughter studies and teaches at a prestigious German University and I have, at least, some small inkling of the current worth and standing of German universities. If you are a graduate student in mathematics, physics, or computer science, you're far better off in tiny Israel or the US. Those who believe that the dumbing-down and politicization of the American academy by the left can be easily remedied aren't facing the truth. …The German universities of the 1930s, for example, despite their long tradition of rigorous scholarship, were by no means citadels of informed thought and genuine research, but outright propaganda factories, preparing students’ minds for the absurd theories of National Socialism…
