That’s Right Nate

I read an article in the Independent Collegian today about a group of students at the University of Toledo who have gotten sick and tired of putting up with liberal professors picking on them and correcting their mistakes.   I had many experiences during college with liberal professors who marked me down for my political biases, particularly in math classes.  White males are already in a very difficult position in most universities in this country.   This sort of bias only makes life harder.

Even in English literature classes, professorial bias reared its ugly head.  One time, I had gone down to Atlanta to visit a girl over Spring Break.   By a weird coincidence, my sister had taken the same class with the same professor 5 years earlier.   She had been kind enough to give me her old papers and while the professor changed the assignments, this one remained the same.   My sister had received a 95 on her paper on Paradise Lost.  I retyped it and made only the changes that the professor had indicated in grading my sister’s paper.   My sister with her overabundance of college partying had turned in her paper “late as usual” according to the cover page.   I turned mine in on time.  The result?  She got a 95 and I got an 83.

That sort of bias and more exists on today’s campuses.   Try explaining to a geology professor that you know the planet is 6,000 years old because the Bible tells you so and don’t even get me into history or political science classes.   I once had a South American History professor try to tell me that the United States was responsible for many of South America’s problems.

We need colleges to show respect for all points of view.  Many of the supposed facts they teach have a liberal bias.  They even use Arabic numerals.  To me, that’s extremely unamerican.  We need the colleges to show the same kind of sensitivity that the town of Sedalia, Missouri had when the School Board banned the Smith-Cotton High School from wearing shirts which seemed to promote the idea of evolution and just as disturbingly the idea that apes could play brass instruments.   “I was disappointed with the image on the shirt.” said band parent and district teacher Sherry Melby,  “I don’t think evolution should be associated with our school.”

With the school year just starting, it’s time we stop the political correctness and start being supportive of students with all political viewpoints or at the very least those that are right of center.  There is room in this country for moderates, neo cons, traditional conservatives, and libertarians.

It turns out that in addition to being a musician, Mike Huckabee is also a gifted poet.   Today he wrote an ode to Nancy Pelosi.   I thought I’d return the favor and write a simple poem to Huck myself as a way of paying tribute to a great Republican and a great American.

An Ode to The Huck

You were once a fatty,
Then you got in shape.
You don’t believe in evolution
Cause you’re certainly no ape.

You disliked the stimulus package,
Because it wouldn’t fund places to pray
Ann Coulter called you pro sodomy,
But you swore you didn’t get stimulated that way.

You support the death penalty
You think its really boss
You know that its right too
Because Jesus supported it on the cross

You said Iraq had WMDs
It was like they were hidden by the Easter Bunny.
You called Gitmo a country club
Only on the tax payer’s money.

Yes my friend we count on you
More now it seems than ever
When those Democrats make silly claims
About evolution or warming weather.

We stand behind you Senator Huck
We know you’ll pick up the slack man
And in 2010 we’ll change our luck
Thanks to you and Senator Bachman.

Wake up you lie-berals.  There is a war going on in this country between the forces of good (Spelled G-O-D) and the forces of science.  Sadly for our beloved country, President Obama has clearly demonstrated what side he is on with his executive order overturning the ban on federally funded stem cell research.  At first, I couldn’t figure out why, but conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck put it in perspective for me:

So here you have Barack Obama going in and spending the money on embryonic stem cell research, and then some, fundamentally changing – remember, those great progressive doctors are the ones who brought us Eugenics. It was the progressive movement and it science. Let’s put science truly in her place. If evolution is right, why don’t we just help out evolution? That was the idea. And sane people agreed with it!

And it was from America. Progressive movement in America. Eugenics. In case you don’t know what Eugenics led us to: the Final Solution. A master race! A perfect person. …. The stuff that we are facing is absolutely frightening. So I guess I have to put my name on yes, I hope Barack Obama fails. But I just want his policies to fail; I want America to wake up.

It is undeiable that at the beginning of the 20th century progressives like Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the American Medical Association were followers of the theory of Eugenics.  However, only Hitler rivaled Obama for the sheer audacity of using stem cells to create a master race and why not?  The Chinese are already hard at work on their own master race by treating things like ALS, autism, and MS with stem cells.   It is diseases like these that keep Obama from his goal of a country full of racially pure aryan super beings.   Glenn Beck knows this, why can’t the liberals figure it out?

For the past 8 years George Bush has heroicly stood between this country and the forces of science.  He has stood up to stem cell research, global warming crazies, and he cut science funding so that he could put in place the sensible tax cuts that could help fund the economy’s growth.   President Bush seems to be willing to throw open the gates of this country to the Trojan horse of scientific inquiry.   Fortunately, another hero has emerged.

In Oklahoma, State Representative Todd Thomsen has sponsored a bill opposing a visit to the University of Oklahoma by Richard Dawkins of Oxford Universtiy and another bill to oppose the teaching of the theory of evolution at the University of Oklahoma.  There is no reason for our country to allow a tax funded university to teach things like evolution that goes against the traditional morals and Biblical teachings upon which this country was founded.   At least one person sees it.  You can be sure if there is a master race in this country, it won’t be coming out of Oklahoma.

No, I’m not talking about the new Ben Stein movie which I am boycotting because of his refusal to allow me on his Win Ben Stein’s Money show several years back. I’m talking about two courageous men who have begun taking religious tours of a local museum to expose the myths of evolution. I haven’t gotten too much into intelligent design vs evolution because I don’t like to read, but I must say I’d really enjoy going on one of these tours.
