I just finished watching a CNN news segment showing a bunch of emotional college kids meeting, and vehemently protesting against any violent action against our enemies. However,the students are clueless when asked what they propose to resolve the current situation.
One clip showed a girl watching GWB's speech and saying "oh, gawd" (with disgust) as if she is soooooo smart. Someone puhlleeez SLAP that dumb b*tch.
I see through their facade!! Them assembling to "discuss" and plan demonstrations on global issues is simply a mere social event for these kids. In other words, it's a campus protest club where they meet with friends, dream about world peace, and go to be fed lies to reinforce their self-serving fantastical belief of intellectual superiority over the rest of us.
These idiots speak as if they are so wise and soooo intelligent that they feel they should enlighten us poor misled citizens with their perverted ideas of global social and cultural harmony. As college students they are expected to learn new ideas and endeavor to pursue ideas towards new discovery.
Their sense of duty to obtain knowledge is commendable. However, just because you are a student at a university who has taken a couple of political science courses/attended seminars from a professor or political activist who used to be some fagass hippie protestor during the Vietnam War does not make you any smarter! IMO, these kids have a long way to go in learning how the world works. Until they get a real job, support a family, understand how and why others think in different countries (not only how they live), these misguided souls will never know.
This brings me to the advisors of some of these groups. Many of their so-called "mentors" are remnants from the Vietnam War era who see the current affairs as an opportunity to re-live their past glories of political activism. I guess it makes them feel important and young again to manipulate these young impressionable, insecure kids. What is frightening though is that they honestly believe they are doing a great service to our Country at this crucial time.
By taking an alternate stance on issues these people think that they know something we do not and perceive such is an achievement towards their futile quest for intellectual elitism.
