Higher Education is Anything BUT.
Not to be
outdone by the political or entertainment realms --- such as they are anymore --- in terms serving any useful purpose, college academia has tumbled down a
perilous slope toward outright obsolescence. There it is. I’ve said it. If
you don’t like it, log onto ebay and buy yourself a lovely imitation Tiffany
lampshade to shelter you from reality a while longer. Here, I'll even give you their link:
That being said, let's Cut to the Chase! Having fallen prey to Liberal think-tankers the way dope dealers prey on innocent children at your neighborhood middle school, the average college graduate’s only discernible
skill is sucking down the perverted ideologies of their professors,
and projectile-vomiting them at unsuspecting bystanders faster than Wyatt Earp
could sling his trusty Schofield “44”.
As manager
of a nationally-known retail store, I’ve had the disillusioning experience of
hiring some of these numb-nuts who were attending, or had recently graduated
from, local colleges. With perhaps slight variation, most were pretty much the
same: They could spew Communist politics
‘till they’re blue in the face but couldn’t count change. They could bend your
ear six-ways-to-Sunday about organic food, cross-cultural issues or that the
Apollo moon landings were staged on a New York
alfalfa farm; but when it came to work ethics and people skills, they were
patently clueless. And they sure as hell couldn’t sell. In a nutshell, I would call them intellectual
but useless.

My father
had been an associate professor at a large Ohio
university starting in the early 1960’s. A little over 30 years and a full
professorship later, he retired --- and
to this day maintains that it wasn’t a moment too soon. In his three decades at
the university, he watched it decline from a stately institution of higher
learning to an over-stimulated welfare state and a breeding ground for left-wing
political correctness, often enforced by organized coercion or worse.
But there
was something else, even worse. The very demeanor of the graduates it spawned
became shockingly arrogant and self-indulgent --- sharp as nickel-plated
pistols when it came to expectations, entitlements and rights, but on matters
like responsibility and accountability, there seemed little evidence of
recognition or acceptance. Indeed, about the only thing they appeared to be
good at was seeking out like-minded disciples and relegating most everyone else
to second class citizenship ---at best!
Truth be
known, I blame the Disease of Liberalism for most of what plagues America
these days, and may well finish us altogether. I blame it for the shocking
decline in our moral values and the ineffectiveness of our children’s schools.
I blame it for the virtual ruin of the traditional family unit, what had been
the very pulse of our country’s strength (while we still had it.) And I blame
it for the heart-breaking erosion of America’s identity and independence in the
world, as it jubilantly subjugates American rights and liberties
to the unspeakable bidding of the United Nations --- itself sufficiently evil as to make the Nazi Party look like the Mickey Mouse Club.
So let's hear it for today's colleges and the pablum-spewing zombies they so earnestly spawn :
Hip hip, GO AWAY!
