Kinda scary that...Glad your son picked up on that. Maybe once the KoolAide vapors disperse, he'll be able to clear his head.<br /><br />Or like you said, once he's out being forced to volunteer (ahem), he'll get the message<br /><br />I'd be pretty angry abt the whole thing. Classes aren't supposed to be a forum for the prof to to promote his/her personal choices, after all.

As you can tell by my rambling response. ;-)<br /><br />And yes, the frustration is enormous regarding my son. I also read on his facebook that this prof uses YouTube as a learning device and that even freaked out my son. Maybe he'll wake up when he's finished with this class...or when Obama puts him in some sort of mandatory "Service" unit.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-20084070563577767652009-10-21T23:29:24.378-04:002009-10-21T23:29:24.378-04:00Mary Ellen, I'm just shaking my head. I t is ...Mary Ellen, I'm just shaking my head. I t is VERY scary that your son has lost his willingness to question - isn't that what college is supposed to ENCOURAGE? Or is it just that some of these professors like having their followers and to be the "cool" ones? Who knows, but I imagine it is VERY frustrating for you to watch it.<br /><br />And especially because there is so little perspective and history going along with what Obama is pushing. How did we raise a generation of young people who are so incurious? The thing that is SO ironic abt that is that is exactly what we accused Bush of being! And now, these Obama supporters are imitating the very people we ridiculed and maligned for not caring abt Bush's record! How could they pick an even LESS experienced leader, with NO real-world leadership in ANYTHING? Who spouts nothing but platitudes, and yet has taken over a number of private industries in a matter of MONTHS with OUR money? I just don't get it. He can't make a decision abt Afghanistan, but he can sure jump in quickly to take our money. That should say something right there.<br /><br />Yep - no sense of history. No desire to KNOW, either. I'm not sure which one is worse, since the outcome is the same...<br /><br />Sorry - I'm rambling, it's late...I wanted to respond to your very good comment, though.

I have to wonder if a lot of the screwiness is just a sheer lack of education. It seems now that if you read the history or social studies books, they barely go into any of our history of fighting communism, the cold war, etc. Ask the average Obot today who Eisenhower was and they will give you a blank stare. Ask about the Cuban Missile Crisis and their knowledge is almost non existent. Ask them about what happened during the invasion of Afghanistan by Russian troops in '79 and what the outcome was and they're clueless. <br /><br />You could see how little curiosity they had about Obama when he ran. They didn't want to know anything about him and if you tried to tell them, they just stuck their fingers in their ears and started screaming racist. They have no idea who this man is and what he represents. <br /><br />I can tell you this, Rev.Amy, my son goes to Illinois State University and is majoring in Sociology and I have no idea what they are teaching him. I know he went in questioning Obama, looking at his record, talking about the corruption and after one semester with a Soc. prof. and he's all Obamabot now.

I must have been wrong - and I am sure the history books will say NOTHING abt that time period after Obama's people are done.<br /><br />WTH abt Bill? Are you kidding me? I mean, what is their deal with him? Like Hillary always said, what didn't they like - the peace or the prosperity???<br /><br />Holy crapoli, ME - I can't believe they're still singing his praises. And you must have a STRONG stomach to weed through them! <br /><br />What is going on with our country, Mary Ellen?Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-27597767810217672592009-10-21T19:12:01.665-04:002009-10-21T19:12:01.665-04:00Remember the good ol' days when we were a Demo...Remember the good ol' days when we were a Democracy and we distrusted communism and even sent our military war to defeat them? We sure are getting that "Change" thing Obama promised,eh? <br /><br />Yup..the Obots are still humming their Obama love song. I checked out a few of the Obot blogs yesterday and they are scary as hell. <br /><br />I'd love to know when Democrats saw Bill Clinton as evil personified? I need a new game card because I thought that was Republican rhetoric. I'm so confused. :-?Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-79283131833933502102009-10-21T18:45:35.724-04:002009-10-21T18:45:35.724-04:00Amen, Nazareth Priest!
