		<description><![CDATA[With apologies to the Christians on this forum. Liberals go on about &quot;caring&quot; about as much as preachers go on about &quot;love&quot;. If only everbody loved each other and more caring.... um, okay. It SOUNDS good? Do you have any practical useful advice to go along with this theory? Like how not to piss off my neighbour, and what to do when I feel the over whelming urge to kill my brother? (it happens to the best of us, it does)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have pondered why it is that such erudite people e.g. Dr. Sowell are so often marginalized from the mainstream while the opinion/statements (lies?) of so many lessers are on the tips of every liberal&#039;s tongue.  Clearly, everything the liberals are doing is unsustainable and ultimately destructive, but so many low information just don&#039;t seem to get it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That &quot;simple minded lunacy&quot; can be dangerous. Consider the killer who shot up some VA Tech students a few years ago:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
--- was [Seung-Hui] Cho taught to hate? Whatever he learned in his classes --- did it enable him to rage at his host country, to hate the students he envied so murderously? Was he subtly encouraged to aggrandize himself by destroying others? Was his pathology enabled by the PC university? Or to ask the question differently --- was Cho ever taught to respect others, to admire the good things about his host country, and to discipline himself to build a positive life? 

And that answer is readily available on the websites of Cho&#039;s English Department at Virginia Tech. This is a wonder world of PC weirdness. English studies at VT are a post-modern Disney World in which nihilism, moral and sexual boundary breaking, and fantasies of Marxist revolutionary violence are celebrated. They show up in a lot of faculty writing. Not by all the faculty, but probably by more than half.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the link.
Academia is littered with these leftist mental midgets.
It&#039;s discouraging, but there seems to be one bright spot.
Students are realizing that the grey ponytail crowd doesn&#039;t have much to offer except stale Marxism and class warfare. I have talked to many students who roll their eyes at the simple minded lunacy of it all.
The sixties hippies had to escape the &quot;squares&quot;
They ARE  the &quot;squares&quot; now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then I think you can relate to &quot;Confessions of a Republican Academic&quot; by Prof. Laura Freburg. Here is an excerpt:   
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;...At a [Cal Poly University] faculty meeting, one of my colleagues, who travels widely as part of a UNICEF team, shared her slides of a trip to Cuba. Her conclusion was that she was &#039;disappointed&#039; that things weren’t going better, because, of course, Cuba had such a &#039;superior political system.&#039; Heads nodded wisely all around the table.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[The saddest part is, they live emotionally instead of rationally.  They live backwards and hence good is evil and evil is good to them.  They move &quot;forward&quot; in their backward ways straight toward the unspeakably evil paganism that the judeo/Christian culture conquered.  We already see ancient rome in so many of it&#039;s worst qualities here in America, even the abandonment of unwanted children to death.   Those who will not learn history are doomed to repeat it.  That is why they are removing western world history from schools, they don&#039;t want people learning from our ancestors&#039; worst mistakes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great article. It shows that there is hope.  Like Dr. Sowell I started on the left and became a Social Worker.  Many people are just following perhaps like me their parents party of preference.  With maturity I saw things differently.  It took the Clinton&#039;s to wake me up.  Maybe Obamarama will wake others up.  I never could understand why so many people reacted so intensely and negatively to Sarah Palin, whom I preferred over any Democratic Candidate.  It is nice to know I am not alone in suffering mean spirited verbal abuse from Progressives.]]></description>

And by way, the UK and Britain are not coextensive. Britain is the island comprised of Scotland, England and Wales. Northern Ireland is not part of Britain. That&#039;s why the UK was formerly known as &quot;The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.&quot;]]></description>
