Conservatives go for the rough and tumble of the free market where you are judged on your results.
It used to be that the free market jobs paid more because it was more competitive.
However, the free market has been damaged by government regulations.
And the government jobs have been taken over by the unions
We now have the least capable people earning the most money and directing the operation of the free market
Liberals gravitate toward academia for the safety and lack of accountability.
********
The old “liberals” have gone away - as outlined below in the second video and the radical leftists have become the professors.
What is really sad is that my kids lose respect for them. And then they don’t want to work as hard, and with the one daughter its causes a lot of anxiety. We did talk with the principal and the history teacher about it. Asking him to teach the class, and keep the bias out of it.
It is tough though, when, even without saying things against conservatives, he stresses how bad American “imperialism” was, and how great FDR was.
Great learning moments for the kids though, when I find all sorts of great information on how FDR actually made the Great Depression worse, how American “imperialism” helped in places like the Phillipines, and how the “freedom” fighters against us were mainly opportunistic thugs. Along with how we WERE bad in some cases.

Bump!
Excellent special.
Word of note:
I have a friend, nutty as hell, who’s boss was Ward Churchill.
I thought she was sexy as hell 25 years ago.
Didn’t know she was gay.
LOL
History has never been taught very well. True critical
analysis is not part of the curriculum and it should be.
A liberal friend just retired from teaching HS history.
He and his wife live like conservatives so you would not
figure their leanings until you got to know them both. He
taught AP history and claimed none of his students could
tell whether he was a conservative or a liberal because
he ripped on both sides. Knowing that he believes that
the LA Times is a politically moderate paper I once asked
him where he gets his info which supports the conserva-
tive POV. He admitted that his sources were not from
conservatives or conservative publications. I told him
that if I were one of his students I would pull the covers
off his secret affiliation in a heartbeat. He didn’t like
that.

Bump!
For those interested in the roots of this subject, search on The Frankfurt School. It was an imported Marxist school in the 1940’s, with a plan to convert America from within, using a slow and steady indoctrination of schoolchildren. Sensitivity training and consensus building were developed there.
They took hold at Columbia U. and the big teaching college (who went there?). Then their minions branched out to other universities, public schools and teachers unions, other unions, the Democrat Party, the media, and church heirarchy.
Many suspect Obama was intended, finally, to be the culmination of their dream.
Oh, for the Thomas Paines who would speak out today!
Thomas Paine Criticizes the Current Public School Science Curriculum Thomas Paine - 01/16/1797 Thomas Paine concerned about the content of our current science courses? Definitely!
In a speech he delivered in Paris on January 16, 1797, Thomas Paine harshly criticized what the French were then teaching in their science classes-especially the philosophy they were using. Interestingly, that same science philosophy of which Thomas Paine was so critical is identical to that used in our public schools today. Paine's indictment of that philosophy is particularly significant in light of the fact that all historians today concede that Thomas Paine was one of the very least religious of our Founders. Yet, even Paine could not abide teaching science, which excluded God's work and hand in the creation of the world and of all scientific phenomena. Below is an excerpt from that speech.
(While Benjamin Franklin was serving in London as diplomat from the Colonies to the King, Franklin met Englishman Thomas Paine (born 1737, died 1809). Franklin arranged for him to move to America in 1774 and helped set him up in the printing business. In 1776, Paine wrote Common Sense, which helped fuel the separation of America from Great Britain. He then served as a soldier in the American Revolution. He returned to England in 1787, and then went to France in 1792 as a supporter of the French Revolution. In 1794, he published his Age of Reason, the deistic work, which brought him much criticism from his former American friends. Upon his return to America in 1802, he found no welcome and eventually died as an outcast.)
Thomas Paine on "The Study of God"
Delivered in Paris on January 16, 1797, in a
Discourse to the Society of TheophilanthropistsIt has been the error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all the other sciences and subjects of natural philosophy, as accomplishments only; whereas they should be taught theologically, or with reference to the Being who is the author of them: for all the principles of science are of Divine origin. Man cannot make, or invent, or contrive principles. He can only discover them; and he ought to look through the discovery to the Author.
When we examine an extraordinary piece of machinery, an astonishing pile of architecture, a well executed statue or a highly finished painting where life and action are imitated, and habit only prevents our mistaking a surface of light and shade for cubical solidity, our ideas are naturally led to think of the extensive genius and talents of the artist. When we study the elements of geometry, we think of Euclid. When we speak of gravitation, we think of Newton. How then is it, that when we study the works of God in the creation, we stop short, and do not think of God? It is from the error of the schools in having taught those subjects as accomplishments only, and thereby separated the study of them form the Being who is the author of them. . . .
The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism. Instead of looking through the works of the creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of His existence. They labor with studied ingenuity to ascribe everything they behold to innate properties of matter; and jump over all the rest, by saying that matter is eternal.
