tax the middle class to pay for this? I don’t think so.
Red Guards at Cornell shut down Ann Coulter
It’s the standard story, so I won’t go into it, but Lincoln Brown’s post after watching a video of the little apes slinging poo has some pithy comments:
Did you catch the phrases “Words are violence” and “We don’t want your ideas here”? This is more than a group of overindulged children who are emotional toddlers. What you are seeing is a group of young adults who suffer not only from seared consciences but from seared intellects.
What is so frightening about these students is not that they don’t like Anne Coulter. Coulter can be acerbic and brusque, which is just her style. What is frightening is the willful ignorance, the desire to not hear or engage in any ideas other than their own. They have ceded control not just of their brains, but their souls. Whoever indoctrinated them has done an astounding job. These people are not just spoiled, immature, and self-centered. As open-minded as they think they are, they are incapable of independent thought. While they probably cannot spell “Machiavellian,” they have mastered the basic precepts of the philosophy.
And they will become lawyers, legislators, and activist investors intent on bringing down anything they do not understand, or that they are instructed to destroy. And that is if they finish college. They may become forever-students, majoring in Tantrums 101, creating nothing, improving nothing, helping no one, and angry for reasons even they don’t understand. They cannot be reasoned with, and in their minds, they cannot be stopped. And they have shown in the past that they are not averse to using violence.
This has happened before in the history of the world. It never ends well, even for the activists. Imagine their surprise when after the socialist utopia has been established, these young “ungovernables” find themselves in the same cells or on the same lists in and on which they put others. Imagine their shock when they are told to shut up.
I would pity them, but they have willingly surrendered themselves to forces and causes that they will not, and cannot, understand. And are perfectly happy to sacrifice you in the process.
