It's actually disgusting to be on most university campuses and sample what passes for "scholarship" nowadays.
The public education system and the higher education system has to be reclaimed by sense and sensibility.
Down with baloney "studies" and up with actual scholarship. Down with tenure and political correctness.
Every little bit of pushback helps.
If this wasn't so pathetic, it would be hilarious. Or something.
Seriously-check out this ad:
Who thought up this copy?
"At Freddie Mac, you'll have a rewarding career as you play a role in helping the nation recover from the housing and economic crisis, and implementing the President's Making Home Affordable program. A vital component in the secondary mortgage market, Freddie Mac has made homeownership and rental housing more accessible and more affordable for one in six homebuyers and more than five million renters.
"As Corporate Speechwriter, you will be a corporate speechwriter for senior company executives, focused on strengthening Freddie Mac's reputation through the preparation of thoughtful and persuasive talking points, PowerPoint presentations and other key communications. Assignments will cover a wide range of mostly external venues, including customer conferences and industry events."
Does Freddie Mac have corporate amnesia or something?
Making Homes Affordable?
The President's program?
The left is UNTEACHABLE.
Impervious to facts!
Full speed ahead to more financial ruin!
PRINT MORE MONEY!!!
I cannot stand my taxes going to the bloated, disgusting leftist propaganda machine known as the CBC.
Apparently, people down south are pretty pissed about National Pravda Radio as well.
De-fund it.
Would I ever love to live to see the day.....
I'll tell you why.
Because the academy is full of pinheaded loser douchebags who never seek external (read: real life) validation of their idiotic theoretic socialist garbage fantasies because they are too busy celebrating diversity, sucking each other off and complaining about BOOOOOOOOOOSH.
Who uses the word 'tumult' anyway in describing revolutions? Quaint pinheads.
Is there a unit about clitorectomies? About Islamic honour murders?
If not-I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
Why are we funding dawa classes?
Citizenship and Immigration Canada, I'd like some answers.
This is bullshit.
"The fact that Egyptians or others in the Middle East and elsewhere want freedom does not mean that they are ready for freedom. Everyone wants freedom for himself. Even the Nazis wanted to be free to be Nazis. They just didn't want anybody else to be free.
"There is very little sign of tolerance in the Middle East, even among fellow Muslims with different political or religious views, and all too many signs of gross intolerance toward people who are not Muslims."
"Freedom and democracy cannot be simply conferred on anyone. Both have preconditions, and even nations that are free and democratic today took centuries to get there."
He is a very smart man, and certainly not afraid to say unpopular things.
I actually do believe that happiness is an individual choice. Lots of bad things happen in the world, but we always have choices. Even while acknowledging how hard things can be, we are still lucky to be alive, living in these times and to have this life.
A couple of weeks ago, I heard of the suicide of a parent of a special needs child, whose son has the same syndrome as mine.
This fellow was a physician, and had worked with his wife tirelessly after their son was born to raise money for other families with special needs kids to provide respite care, equipment, assistance with camp fees and many other quiet, modest but loving initiatives.
It turned out that he had actually been suffering from clinical depression for a very long time, struggling with the dark demons in his brain.
I believe depression is real and in the brain, and that there are medications that can help people with chemical problems in their brain-I'm not referring to neurotic, self-obsessed navel gazing 'depression-lite' when people spend all their pathetic lives 'in therapy'.
I wish more ostensibly 'sane' people chose happiness, despite their challenges.
This just in:

"Conservative students and groups often complain about being treated inequitably on campus, or feeling like they are all alone in their convictions. The Prince Arthur Herald, Canada's only center-right national student newspaper, aims to change that by giving conservative students a voice and community that will respect their opinions and stand up for their rights, along with the rights of all Canadians.""Started by a group of predominately McGill students, The PAH in less than two months of operation has received tens of thousands of hits from across Canada. As a result, the editors have decided that a nationally-read newspaper deserves to be written by students from across the nation. As an Ontario Desk Editor, I am recruiting students who are interested in writing a regular 500 word column. Columns don't just have to be about politics (although they can be) as the Herald also addresses subjects ranging from campus life to culture, finance, sports, health, law, and more."
"Those who control the message, control the debate. Without a friendly media presence that values excellence in communications while addressing the hard issues of our day, conservative students will continue to struggle to be heard and respected on campus."
"This is a fantastic opportunity for conservative students to make their voices heard, while gaining valuable experience working for a national student newspaper. If you are interested in being part of this, please contact me at missmarprelate@gmail.com or through Facebook."
