When I was growing up a patriotic boomer in the 50's nobody had to tell us the USA was the one exceptional nation on the planet, nothing else like it. We just knew that, and it was true. Where conservatism went off the rails is we thought capitalism and exceptionalism were so obvious we ASSUMED the whole population would see that like we did. Not so,as we see today. The leftists and socialists INSURED the young heads full of mush seeking a higher education would only be given the liberal point of view whenever possible, starting in the 60's. So today we have high level schools that started out as bastions of Christianity who will shout down anything biblical in a nanosecond. Almost none that started out judeo-Christian have ended up that way they are secular and proud of it. So we see the fruits of their twisted dark views alive and well in the young and younger today. They listen to CNN and NPR and think they get the news. Patton, Eisenhower, and my uncle who was a flight engineer on a B-29 wouldn't recognize this place today. It makes me sick to see what is tolerated and encouraged by leftists today. Flag burning, open revolt, harassment of any conservative officials.....it will not end well. Those who though the USA wouldn't last and would eventually implode from within may be correct in the end..........what a sad thought..........

It sounds like you swallowed a heavy dose of "inoctrindation" early on nothing is static. The only thing you can be sure of is change and a new generation is taking the reigns. That sort of blind patriotism is on it's way out.

Colleges today are nothing more than leftist indoctrination centers....

We've been hearing these same whiny allegations for years now.

The question is: IF they're true and that's a big IF, WHY are rightists such slackers that they've done nothing about it? Other than the occasional bogus real estate 'university' that is.

Is whining their one and only talent?

I know some college kids. There is not much mixing between the engineering/business kids and the humanities "studies" kids. Anecdotal I know but...

Yea you are right. Remember not to send your kids to college. (Less future competition for me, more future money for me)

Plus we need enough people to keep the service and retail industries humming along.

Sounds like tinfoil commentary from folks like David Horowitz. C'mon now.
