The Universities now rule the roost - they have done a magnificent job for SOCIALISM. I don't disagree with that at all. They have brainwashed a couple of generations into unquestioningly accepting collectivism, political correctness, wacky environmental causes, and always blaming America first. That said, now that a utopian socialist is president, it will be interesting to see how these same generations react to seeing economic opportunities evaporate, their standard of living decline, their family and friends unemployed, and high taxes soaking their parents (and therefore limiting their ability to support them). It's going to be a wake up call. Wonder if it will lead to their re-thinking the dogma they've been fed all these years?

It just sucks when you have read the last chapter and know this is coming. It is funny how the Left clamors to eternally push for Communism which, in the end, we all know, fails.
I guess grabbing votes for the “free, free, free: crowd trumps common sense.

Obama looks more like a Marxist than a utopian socialist. That seems to be the opinion on FR too.

The Univ have also brainwashed a couple of generatons (since the 1960s at least) that America is the worst country on the planet and we have to make amends for our sins - starting with our excessive use of the planet's resources. Of course that is pure crapola since America also used those resources to produce the most magnificent bounty of products the planet ever saw. I saw communism spreading into the U life back in the 1960 and knew instinctively that could bring ruin. It is a sad consolation to know I was correct.
