Academic Bias Latest Blow to White Male Students

with one comment

bandshirtI 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.

Obama’s Risky Experiment with America

with 4 comments

The RNC launched a new website and talking point today and I think they’ve got a winner!  They caution that Obama’s healthcare program is a risky experiment with America’s future.  In fact they go on to say that Obama’s entire Presidency has been one experiment after another.   This to me is not only truthful, it’s also brilliant.   You know who does experiments? scientists.  You know who doesn’t have to? Jesus.

Barack Obama is like one of those scientists.   Always trying to figure out what to do next?  When there’s a problem or worse yet, a crisis Obama tries to figure out exactly what series of actions he takes will lead him to the right answer.   This is known as the scientific method and includes the following steps:

  1. Ask a question
  2. Do basic research
  3. Construct a hypothesis
  4. Test hypothesis with an experiment
  5. Analyze results
  6. Draw conclusion
  7. Report results

This is the same type of thinking that brought about crackpot science like evolution, the big bang theory, global warming, and astronomy.  I do not trust people who think in this kind of orderly processed way.

By contrast George Bush was a man of faith.  If he wanted to know what to do, he was guided by his Republican principles and God.   With George Bush you never had to wonder if he was experimenting with you or even if he was tracking the results.  President Bush knew that if his faith told him to do something, that was what to do.

I don’t know.  Maybe some folks one some kind of egghead reasoning machine as President, but I don’t.  Give me a decider any day of the week and I’ll leave the experiments for the science guys.

Glenn Beck Fights Against Obama’s Master Race Plan

with 28 comments

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.

This Christmas Harry Reid is Scrooge

leave a comment »

This Christmas, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid is Scrooge.  Actually, that’s not fair.  Scrooge at least gave Bob Cratchett Christmas off.  Harry Reid is so distrustful of President Bush that he will be having a Senator stay behind to gavel the empty chamber to order and prevent The President from passing any recess appointments before he leaves office in January.  For shame Mister Reid.  The government must continue to run even while Barrack Obama sits around doing nothing productive.

In fact, George Bush has appointed over 30 people to positions since the election in November and these people will help to lead the Obama administration with their experience in Washington.  “Given the fact that the Senate was so intransigent on so many nominations, we certainly would have liked to have used the option of recess appointments,” Said Bush spokesperson Tony Fratto. “This process is broken, absolutely broken. The majority leader has taken it to the point of abuse.”

One move Bush is making that I’m particularly excited about is his appointment of many non-scientists to permanent federal jobs with responsibility for making or administering scientific policies.  I like that Bush isn’t afraid to shake up the liberal atheistic scientific community with people who haven’t been indoctrinated with scientific propaganda against a Christian belief system.  As Sarah Palin said on the campaign trail, “How do we know its global warming and not God just hugging us closer.”

Bush has also been working tirelessly behind the  scenes to ease up ridiculous safeguards on industry limiting the amount of pollution that’s acceptable in our drinking water and redefining pollution in general.  Bush has also appointed several industry lobbyists to watchdog positions knowing that the government will only benefit from the other point of view.

Mr. Fratto pointed out that Mr. Bush’s term is a full four years — not 3 years, 10 months and 4 days — and the president will not pull punches as he makes potentially still more appointments. “We actually do have not just the authority,” he said, “we have an obligation to do what we think is best for the country up until 11:59 a.m. on January 20.”  Perhaps, he can do something about some of those silly air quality safeguards as well in the next month and a half.
