My son is home from his private, elite university near Boston. He is informing me of the academic climate, the same one that on a larger scale, is largely responsable for having promoted and propelled this insipid talking suit into our electoral process and now dances menacingly, like some malevolent court jester, at the door of the White House. All students at his school were required to read Obama’s propaganda book (a simular strategy devised by Joe Kennedy who had ghost writers write “Profiles in Courage”, which the liberal Dem conduits dutifully promoted as the “brilliant” work of JFK.) Most speakers this year (paid by our tuitions) were anti-war and pro-Obama. My son reports that he vast majority of students at his school haven’t a clue about, as Michelle Obama would say, “the issues,” not to speak of politics, government, history, economics. To them, this election is just American Idol with a messianic, let’s-relive-the-60′s-myth twist. The academics behind this fraud and spoon-feeding of gullible and barely literate students of universities are simply revived sociaist warriors of the 60′s and 70′s trying to recapture their lost dreams and hopes from their misspent youth of a “people’s paradise,” and ever running from reality, like the archetype Ayers, they take refuge in the swampy, fluid, yet reality-resistant world of academia. Obama, from his “Yes we Can” (Si se Puede) cribbing of slogans from socialist movements, to echoing people like Chavez on foreign policy, is simply irresistibly following the same philosophical roots his intellectual predecessors were infected by – Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche..ad nauseum.
