People like this have it right.

I’m American and I have to tolerate fools but I’m not proud of them.

These punks need some perspective. Spend a few years in, say, Turkey.

They’ve scored 3 total goals in their last 13 games. They should be protesting their own crapfest.

They should feel pretty good about living in a country that allows them the privilege of extending their adolescence in college and playing field hockey. My mother, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers —all proud American women—had already taken on some of the hard responsibilities of adulthood by the time they were the age of these females.

There’s no such thing as a socialist utopia. Only dystopias.

Oberlin has always been a leftie airhead school. The only creditable graduate in the past 40 years has been Michelle Malkin, and she took flak while she was there working on the student paper.
