When I was in college I took the introductory course to sociology. At the time, I thought it was a poorly developed subject, taught by quirky idealists. I sort of hoped that their fraud would be uncovered and that they would fade away. It seemed as though they relied heavily on opinion and played fast and loose with flimsy data. Since then, I have come to see modern-day sociology, as it is taught in the USA, as the greatest threat to Western Civilization. continue

This isnt only my opinion. Irving Horowitz tells us (Decomposition of Sociology, p. 15) of a revolutionary wing of sociology in America that advocates, not remedial efforts, but insurgency to implant their social vision in the USA. He states that this movement is anti-American and anti-Western. In Horowitz words:
"Sociology courses and texts have become repositories of urgings for revolution celebrations of disparities rather than serious efforts to remove them. Every indicator of race, class, and gender differences is used to prompt the subtle or overt conclusion that American society is not only incapable of solving its own problems, but that it is the problem."

Thanks for that read.
One of the things that really turned me from a liberal bleeding heart to a conservative was the realization that liberal policies could be proven to have been profoundly harmful to this nation and now the world as they have been exported around the globe.
You must read the chapter titled “Doing Good” in Bye-Bye Sweet Liberty. If you can rent it, Get the video/DVD “Rabbit Proof Fence,”. After watching “Rabbit Proof Fence”,Your mind will be set straight on the subject of DOING GOOD.
I have never heard of either of these. Maybe you could explain a little more. I don’t know if I can find the movie, but I imagine the library might have the book.
I am not sure in what way my mind needs to be set straight. Unless you are defending the liberal idea of “doing good” which I reject as it does more harm and no good.
sorry.The way to get to ‘Bye-Bye Sweet Liberty’ is to Google it. Once on the web site, click “book” on the upper left corner. You will be taken to a list of chapters. Look for the chapter titled ‘Doing Good.’ Click on it and enjoy. I think netflix has Rabbit Proof Fence. After seeing it, you will be inspired by the bravery and the will to live free.
