Re: Ugh...
Yes but I just consider the source. Most of these people are kids and against any kind of authority. They see this guy as someone who is with them because of mutual opposition.
When the kids earn enough money to have skin in the game, they'll be less likely to believe dreamy notions spewed by the world of intelligentsia and might even grow to love this country.
I thought it was hilarious how Bollinger attacked Ahmadinejad. I don't disagree with what he said but he was simply saving his own ass since the president's visit wasn't popular with a lot of those with "skin in the game". He a fine example of another slimy, greasy politician who is only motivated by self-preservation. |

said by rradina  :They see this guy as someone who is with them because of mutual opposition. No... these are ivy league students. They know exactly the kind person that Ahmedinejad is. They fully, and completely, embrace his anti-USA, anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denying views. Their "thunderous applause" to just about everything he said is irrefutable proof of this.
Unless there's some new fad out there... clapping when you disagree with someone. The students are truly disgraceful, repugnant individuals.

I think we'll just have to disagree on this point. You might be right but the older I get, the more I realize that when I was their age, I knew very little. Even 25 years later, I only have enough sense to realize even now, how little I know.
I see this same immaturity in my oldest son. He has yet to go through puberty but he is already pushing boundaries and dismissive of his parents because he thinks he is a know-it-all.
Many of these students might have a high IQ and be considered the best and brightest but in my opinion, that doesn't mean they have the common sense that comes with maturity. At least that's my hope. If they truly are forever galvanized against our country, then my children will truly live in a challenging future. |
