The "Let Palin be Palin" dodge

I'm sorry, but Obama's college record isn't that impressive. He is part of the current student culture that real scholars, that are becoming continually marginalized, have mocked for generations.

His education, and his record as an educator, is stuffed full of pie in the sky Marxist nonsense that doesn't stand up to the foundations of Western scholarship at all. The entire curriculum is about a political philosophy that derives itself from a series of false premises.

It isn't something that needs to be proven, and has no history, and the types of Professors that live by it, are themselves largely inherently incurious. They are about as scholarly as your average evangelical creationist. Certainly neither feels the need to adhere to any amount of empiricism or Hellenic logic to come to conclusions about the world. They are more capable of couching their political beliefs in euphemisms and sounding sophisticated than creationist neanderthals, but they are both neanderthals.

So, why is the Ivy League, and college education in general sneered at by so many? It isn't just those that never went to, or finished college, but those that did go through it that sneer at it as well. Anyone who has been to one of these institutions, like Occidental, or Columbia in the past 50 years knows full well that all you have to do to get a free ride is to hand pick readily available Marxist professors, adopt their political philosophy, and put your intellectual curiosity on hold for a few years.

Trust me, even if you don't pick out the worst of what Red Academia has to offer in terms of professors you will still have to Leftist up your course work or see your GPA suffer for it. So much of Academia now is blatantly anti-intellectual. There is no goal, no intention, of actually teaching subjects or encouraging real critical thinking. "Critical Thinking" is now newspeak for Leftist ideology. If you read Marx, or god forbid Zinn, Chomsky, or any other modern Heroes of the Revolution, and think its not the work of abjectly inspired genius then in fact, you are not engaging in "Critical Thinking".

Look up Obama's record as a lecturer, and his teaching materials. Tell me that any of that is the mark of intellectual curiousity. It is dogmatic adherence to everything the man was fed from childhood until now, mixed in with some Black Nationalist rhetoric. Nothing he has written, including his two books, deviates very far from the espoused beliefs of those who influenced him throughout his very early life.

Now how many of you can look back to your freshman year of college, and say that now as adults decades later, have essentially the same exact political and world views? That isn't a mark of intellectual curiosity. I'm sorry.

This isn't a defense of Palin obviously, but please feel free to tear her down without holding up Obama and along with him the current anti-illectual college culture. Bob from Colorado wants to look at the history of education. Looking at it for me, I see that when the anti-illectual bolshevik thugs came to power in Russia, and China and everywhere else, the first people to go were the Professors and their students. The big difference now, is that when the anti-illectual thugs come to power they instead thank those Professors and their students for their invaluable service to the Revolution.
