Someone
summarized Barack Obama in three words -- "educated,"
"smart" and "ignorant." Unfortunately, those same three
words would describe all too many of the people who come out of our most
prestigious colleges and universities today.
President
Obama seems completely unaware of how many of the policies he is trying to
impose have been tried before, in many times and places around the world, and
have failed time and again. Economic equality? That was tried in the 19th century,
in communities set up by Robert Owen, the man who coined the term
"socialism." Those communities all collapsed.
It was tried
even earlier, in 18th century Georgia, when that was a British colony. People
in Georgia ended up fleeing to other colonies, as many other people would vote
with their feet in the 20th century, by fleeing many other societies around the
world that were established in the name of economic equality.
But who reads
history these days? Moreover, those parts of history that would undermine the
vision of the left -- which prevails in our education system from elementary
school to postgraduate study -- are not likely to get much attention
The net
results are bright people, with impressive degrees, who have been told for
years how brilliant they are, but who are often ignorant of facts that might
cause them to question what they have been indoctrinated with in schools and
colleges.....To Read More.....
