The Leftists took over the schools and universities, and we let them. We have played nice for 40 years now, and we are reaping what we have sown.<BR/><BR/>Next time I hear some leftist assclown say "Its for the CHILLLLdrennnnn!" I'm gonna kick it in the gazots.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308171394825291900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-80945333141904192982009-03-09T20:02:00.000-04:002009-03-09T20:02:00.000-04:00I missed this post - it's excellent. Larry, for t...I missed this post - it's excellent. Larry, for the life of me I can not comprehend how people who were THERE can have forgotten. I understand the idiot college and post-college kids who are too young to know any better than what they've been indoctrinated with, but for those of us who lived through it, there is no excuse.<BR/><BR/>And now we have a nobel laureate in economics (who, by the way, won for a very narrow aspect of the field and his political shit-stirring takes place decidedly OUTSIDE his area of expertise and is not actually economics at all) - this Paul Krugman character. He is actively working and writing about how Reagan did NO SUCH THING and these college kids, hearing an economist who has won a prize and is on the hard left, denying all of these things that you and I know to be true? Well they're beside themselves. Suddenly they're economists - or, worse, they tell us that we ought to remember that the "experts" know best. Of course they won't listen to any experts except those that tell the story they want to hear, even if it contradicts history. Scary, really.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, did you know that all negative facts about Obama have been removed from his Wikipedia page - any mention of Wright, Ayers, Khalidi, and so forth...and anyone who tries to mention them again will be barred from Wikipedia? As the Copious Dissent guy says, 10 years from now you mention Wright (even though, uh, he's openly out and about giving speeches and they were very close friends) you'll be thrown in a gulag. Probably by Wright himself. These are weird fucking times, Larry. Pardon my french, but it's REALLY weird.Anniee451https://www.blogger.com/profile/03066640571157938093noreply@blogger.com
