Evidently, most of the people on this forum base their politics on one simple model. Being anti-US is cool.

Nearly every thread in this section boils down to this basic Liberal formula - if something is pro-US or in keeping with American tradition it is wrong.

If someone is pro-US, or wants to keep any American tradition or culture alive they are ignorant.

Obviously, there is no thinking involved in this. It is merely assumed that no pro-US person went to college and sat through the same Liberal indoctrination class that they did otherwise they would know that it is PC to be anti-US.

Here is a news flash. That same anti-US crap is peddled in every university in America and has been for years. We have all heard it a million times. You are not "enlightened" because you bought into all the self loathing, we are the bad guys, the system is rigged, revisionist history, and all the other BS. In fact, if you bought into that crap you are nothing but a conformist like the other 98% of college kids who believe it. Do you really think thinking just like every other kid makes your thinking unique?

Truth is, these idiot professors who know nothing about real life, are merely playing on the natural rebellion of the average college student. They put you in an atmosphere where this rebellious nature is fully immersed in their ideology with no voice of opposition. It is a simple brain washing technique and you have all been fooled. In essence, you have become members of a cult. The cult of political correctness.

It really never occurred to you that you never heard a single Conservative voice during your entire time in college? You never wondered why an institution that alleges to encourage "objective thought" specifically bans all opposing viewpoints? Have you not noticed that people who promote this ideology routinely attack the character of those with whom they disagree rather than attempting to argue the merits of their ideas? Do you really believe that is how intelligent people debate - by calling their opponents names such as racist, Homophobe, Islamophobe, etc? You never considered the fact that maybe they do this because they know their arguments don't hold up under scrutiny? The technique, like the others is an old Marxist one - the ends justify the means. Or, all that matters is promoting Marxism regardless of how you do it. This includes slandering those with whom you disagree instead of debating them, indoctrinating young impressionable college students, etc.

If you truly want to reach enlightenment, you need to come full circle. You need to realize that America despite her faults is a truly exceptional Nation and that the free market system despite its faults is the best system the world has seen to date. You need to realize that the basic tenants of the Judeo-Christian tradition form the basis of a happy and healthy life. You don't have to be religious, but the tenants of this tradition are pretty much non-negotiable. Things like hard work, honesty, integrity, self reliance and charity are what make a good person and what creates wealth, health and happiness. There is no imaginary "man" who determines one's lot in life. It is up to the individual to make the right choices and create a good life for themselves.

Trust me, nobody is "ignorant" to the ways of thinking that have been forced into your brain. We have all heard them. The difference is that some of us have the wisdom to be able to separate the truth from a bunch of nonsense peddled by quasi-Marxists with their head up their hind quarters.

Now, if you take my words to heart, you too have this wisdom. Use it in good health.

Why are conservatives so afraid of academics? Is it because they know the academics are smarter and more influential than they are? That's what your post says to me.

Wow! A special congratulations to our speed readers who read the entire post, thought up a response, typed it out and posted it in 2-3 minutes.

You guys really put a lot of thought into what I said didn't you? Obviously that is a sign of how you approach everything in life. One simple formula for everything.

Thanks for proving my point.

You mean like the ones who obviously didn't read the post but responded with their idiotic comments in 2-3 minutes?

How does their responses not prove exactly what I'm saying? Brain dead conformists all of them.
