When I graduated from Wellesley, the college was so conservative as to be "straight-laced." After Hillary hit the place, it changed forever.

I can't wait till Madonna's kids go to school and find Momma's silly book.... Bet they will be so proud, especially about that page with the dog.

[ken21]

liberals refer to that process as being "radicalized".

never in the history of this country has there been such an evil generation.

[marty60]

It is soooo refreshing to read articles like this. Finally, people are stating to realize the hard work that is needed to save our society from utter destruction.

When it comes to marriage: would you go on a cruise ship if 60% of the cruise ships sank?

Why get married, since 60% end in divorce?

If you do get married, be sure you know about the lifeboats.

The "consequences" ARE intended. That's the plan from the start.

[Blood of Tyrants]

it also presents arguments which are thorough and unavoidably convincing for even the most liberally-minded.

Wanna bet? Liberals are deliberately dense. No matter how well thought out and factual and convincing of an argument you give them, they simply do not care. To them, it just isn't right that a person who worked 70 hour weeks for 10 years is now worth $10 million dollars while Bubba and Antwone did just enough work to buy Friday's beer and cocaine while being the sperm donors of 7 kids by 5 different women. To the liberal, the guy who worked his butt off OWES Bubba's and Antwone's ho's and sperm donations a living.

Char, thanks for the post about PRODIGY Ben Shapiro's new book. The young but intellectually mature Ben Shapiro is one of my heros. His first book BRAINWASHED about academia's leftist proMarxist indoctrination and academia's intolerant "liberal" orthodoxy is an insightful expose.

[qam1]

He lauds these artists on a few points, praising Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder for declaring that “any generation that would pick Kurt [Cobain] or [Eddie Vedder] as its spokesman… must be a pretty f–up generation”

uummm, Few Gen-Xers ever picked either of these Bozos as our spokesmen, It was the Baby Boomer writers & suits who gave them that title and forced them on us.

[Turbopilot]

In general I like Ben Shapiro, but he's much better when he's fighting for our country than fighting for (what he believes is) our culture. Culture, by its very definition, changes with each successive generation, while the nature of a nation is fundamentally rooted in its founding principles. In other words, if America's government could fully deal with Islamist terrorism, illegal immigration, and the gross overreach of the federal government, some sleazy singers wouldn't be a big problem. Conversely, ending sleaze and various forms of "immorality" would not do a thing to help terrorism, illegal immigration, or any other of the serious issues with which our government needs to concern itself.

Sounds like a good book.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

This is a book I should read. But do I want to be more disgusted than I am?

If anyone has read it, put up a book review!

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

This approach has left my generation plagued with moral relativism, narcissism, and many other unintended consequences that the hippie generation is unwilling to take responsibility for and which the aging leftists that now control academia are still trying to promote. By detailing this, Shapiro provides the slap in the face that America needs.

The good news is both Gen-X & Gen-Y are rejecting the decadent baby boomer ways and despite all the crap you see on T.V. the country will be fine once we get the Baby Boomers out of power.

If we leave names out of it, here's my summary:
1963 'The Pill' introduces us to sex without consequences.
1973 Roe Vs. Wade provides the ultimate 'backstop' to this mentality.
1973 Watergate provides an excuse to never respect our Nation's leaders again.
1980 Courts begin the long march to remove any vestiges of religion within public view.
1980 The fruits of 'consequence free sex' drive up divorce rates, increase the percentage of women in the workforce, and delay parenthood.
1980 With the increase of divorced parents now dating, more are inclined to serial dating, including exposing their kids to their casual sexual relationships.
1991 A decade after AIDS appears on the scene, homosexual groups increase efforts to "mainstream" their lifestyle, and insist a cure is necessary to minimize the stigma associated with homosexual behavior.
1996 Courts increase their role in undermining traditional morals, parental authority, and any tools that might otherwise be used to include discipline in the raising of children.
Today - The spiral into the sewer's accelerate at a blinding rate.

Is she responsible for the library too? It's nothing a large, well-placed hand grenade couldn't cure.

"Loaded with quality conservative sarcasm, "

I guess Shapiro decided he needed sarcasm to sell his book to the Coulter crowd, but my guess is that same sarcasm will turn off the folks he really needs to reach with his book. IMO, sarcasm doesn't win converts. It might be amusing to the already converted at times, but it often just comes off as juvenile.

[Dante3]

Thanks for the post. I plan to buy Shapiro's book.

It is incredible that while it is okay to have laws against prostitution (and I agree with it), the Supremes declared that pron - prostitution with an audience - should be legal. Another example that judges have close to unlimited power.

BTW, another good book is Nancy Grace's OBJECTION!
