So what you are saying is that americans are taught to hate their own country by their very expensive tertiary education system. Seems you are not getting much bang for your buck there. Shoot a few academics and that will change

Hillsdale College - Admissions
Subscription to their Imprimis news letter is a must for all thinking conservatives .
Hillsdale College - Imprimis
Seems like a good school - not much different than any other private school.Quote:

There curriculum is 'classic liberalism 'which is much different than contemporary liberal indoctrination found in most US universities.
Hello again, Steve:
I don't know.. I'm watching Fox News and they're showing the reaction to the killing of Bin Laden... It's mostly college kids chanting USA - USA - USA.
Doesn't look like they hate their country too much...

Jimmy Carter is clearly and very publicly suffering the ravages of advanced Dementia.
He was once merely the worst presidtent we ever had... before the current one...
But he did a lot of good things with Habitat for humanity... but whatever mental defect he is suffering from has basically erodded those good works until every time he speaks up is a "Dear god shut him up!" moment.

I don't know how things work over there but from my point of view I have never been involved in a course, say Marxism, that doesn't explore both the strengths and weaknesses of Marx. I don't know of any course which presupposes that Marx is infallible. In fact he comes in for criticism in just about every serious journal I have read about him.
Let's take Marxism as an example again. Just because a university offers a course in Marxism doesn't mean there is a tendency or "straying" towards the Marxist position. In fact, I think the opposite is mostly the case.
I don't want to go into detail about theories of knowledge and how knowledge progresses except to say that the important element is someone putting forward a theory and others mounting a criticism of
Said theory.
It seems to me that the above quote is an attempt to stop any theory comparisons. I think this is tantamount to saying that knowledge has progressed as far as it needs to.

I suppose you never attended the modern American University . It is not curriculum as much as indoctrination into progressive cultural 'distractions'. It took me most of a decade to debrief.
What are those progressive cultural distractions Tom? Are you suggesting footbrawl and basketball are subversive?
Progressive Radio Host Mike Malloy suggested yesterday that the Navy Seals should "drop in" on George Bush.
Hello again, tom:
So, that proves the left hates America?? Dude! Rush Limprod has a bigger audience and he said Obama is a liar... Therefore, using your logic, the right hates America MORE than the left.
excon
The right isn't calling for the assassination of a former president, big difference. I dropped by Huffpo yesterday and one of the first comments I saw said "Bush is next."
So let's weight this out - liar / kill Bush
No, Rush was pretty tame in comparison.

The FACT of the matter is, the LEFT doesn't want to kill Bush, and the LEFT loves American just like the right does... Are you going to bring up another crazy lefty to prove your point?? Don't you think I can come up with a nutty rightwinger to counter it?? Do you think that is productive?
