The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.
Interesting discussion of the state of academia with four very different academics.
Cornell West was my college graduation speaker. He and Robert George (as brother West mentions) have done hundreds of discussions over the years about critical thinking and the role of colleges in fostering conversation. They are an interesting pair.
For the painfully bored, here is one such conversation that took place my daughter's freshman year (she and George attended the same college...40 years apart).
if someone has gotten to the point of beating their wife...yeah, I'm concerned about them. Concerned about how their life turned in such a way for them to beat their wife, not to mention leave their homeland.
But that's not the issue, is it. As today's republicans have been schooled time and time again, the vast majority of immigrants contribute positively to the US, economically and socially.
At the very least, the US owes the impoverished, "tired and poor" an opportunity to come to this country and participate in its successes.
Do you really prefer to "piss on em"?
Some people have gotten so caught up in 'American exceptionalism', they have forgotten that it is about what we do, not an innate quality. It is a trait that can be lost if not maintained.
tell us again why you hate this country so much as to care more about illegal immigrant wife beaters than US citizens ?

Also known as black-and-white thinking, polarized thinking, or dichotomous thinking, all-or-nothing thinking is a type of cognitive distortion that involves viewing things in absolute terms: all good or all bad, angelic or evil, perfection or total failure.
Because we want to live in your country... not his.
When someone votes for a Felon Dictatorship and unlawful abduction incarceration, the destruction of the Veteran's Administration, massive Measles Outbreak and dismissal of Ukraine, they'll receive from me exactly what they wish upon others. Let's call it Tariff Karma. What part of being ok with innocent kids dying from a preventable disease is worthy of sympathy?
There he goes again, never answers the question posed; only tosses out distraction squirrel fetch.
Gosh, can't convince us of your meritocracy of remaining on the planet? You're not following the Maga mandate, boy.
White House counterterror czar Sebastian Gorka said today that Americans who are not on board with the Trump administration’s immigration policy are “on the side of terrorists."
“It's really quite that simple,” Gorka said in a little-noticed interview with Newsmax. “We have people who love America, like the president, like his cabinet, like the directors of his agencies, who want to protect Americans. And then there is the other side, that is on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”
He didn’t stop there, going on to say this is tantamount to “aiding and abetting” — which he called a crime under federal law.
