something to make one think…

“Anyone who has worked in academia for the past 15 years will recognize everything that the administration is doing. As far as I can see, BHO is turning the country into a big university.”

Yeah, before the election I wrote some letters to pundits and think tanks suggesting that the problem beating Obama was no one remembers what having liberals running the show is like… yet, they run universities… so use them as an example of what life will be like when they have too much power…

If you throw a live crab into a boiling pot of water, it will fight quite vigorously to get out, but if you immerse it in cool water and gradually increase the temperature of the water, it won’t fight at all.

Oh, and thanks MSM for noticing….

In Iraq, we have a secure supply route via Kuwait. Afghan supplies will have to go through either an increasingly hostile Pakistan or an increasingly hostile Russia. Maybe we can talk China or Iran to let us supply over their territories.
Bataan rhymes with Afghan.

Is your father at all amenable to using technology and reading alternative media? If you explained the benefits of it to him, would it pique his interest?

I’ve long since abandoned the mainstream media not solely because of its biased reportage: I did so because the quality of the writing at times leaves much to be desired. I have found on the web sites where both the reporting and the writing are outstanding, covering a range of topics.

The “permanent college experience” is cultural Marxism, which has thoroughly penetrated the Western world and is in the process of dismantling our civilization.

Some good shock and awe for every college student in the country would be a required reading of Friedrich Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom.” That and an intimate familiarity with the Constitution of the United States of America.

Anyone who has worked in academia for the past 15 years will recognize everything that the administration is doing. As far as I can see, BHO is turning the country into a big university. You get the PC renaming of the war on terror, you get the foreign policy straight out of the halls of government departments at most higher ed schools. You get the environmental policies from all the activists on any campus. etc. etc. etc.

What you are all experiencing is what I have lived with everyday when I go to work. Now it is becoming a part of the entire country’s life. Explain’s fairly well for me why college kids and recent grads went so heavy for BHO… he’s going to make life a permanent college experience.

That has been one of the more surreal things they have done. I can’t really see how, even were what they saying 100% true, that would have voters accept strict gun control measures in the US.

Even the die hard Obama supporter’s around here are confused on this one. I haven’t really seen anything other than a weak kind of defense of it that trails off and tries to change the subject.

I mean, lets face it, Americans (nor any other country) really care that a bunch of foreigners are killing each other with our stuff. Nor, however far into Obamalove you are, can we see why disarming *us* will somehow make *someone else* quit killing. Does anyone out there *really* want to tell me that those very same Mexicans would willingly give up what they are fighting for so we could be properous?

That is even assuming that they are correct. I will only say the following there – does *anyone* there think that disarming us will disarm them? That disarming us will make them suddenly quit killing each other? If so – well – I do not know what to say.

I do not think *any* in his administration think so, I think they figure they can give any thin pretense and have it work and this is the first one they have latched onto (and a certain amount of apologists are running with it). I do not expect it to be the last attempt nor do I suspect this episode be recalled by many for long (the next, probably more reasonable as they learn total stupidity will not be accepted and that they pushed this idiocy will not be part of the thought process). I also fully expect this push to work as well as it did in the early 90′s.
