The Doctor is in…the circus is coming to town!

Hoyez, hoyez, hoyez!

The greatest circus on earth is coming to New York City soon!  No,  not Ringling Brothers…no, this show is being brought to you by the Amazing Obama Traveling Troupe!

Yessireee, this extravaganza will be bringing all of America an exciting moment in time, a moment that could last for five years or more!  This is the show that is featuring Mr. Eric Holder, one of circusdom’s greatest circus performers, directing his troupe of clowns, lawyers and other side-show freaks as they bring the exciting Guantanamo Bay Terrorist Troupe to New York City for their FIRST-EVER American performance on American soil!!

Not only will you be able to enjoy this performance under the big top.  There will be other performances going on outside the big tent. Exciting events, such as crowds gathered in front of the circus protesting the abusive measures applied to the Terrorist Troupe performers.

Even more exciting will be the revealing of the secrets of the management of the Terrorist Troupe by the U.S. government!  Due to circumstances, the high-dive by Troupers into the water-boarding tank will not be performed. However,  Eric promises Americans that the Terrorist Troupers will have their day in the sun, they will be treated fairly by the circus management, and offered even better opportunities to “show their stuff”!!

What makes this show one of the best?  Well, Barack hussein Obama and Eric have tainted the show by stating that the terrorists will be found guilty and punished!  But that’s OK!  The show will still go on!  At the same time, BHO is also allowing other Terrorist  Troupers to perform before military tribunals!  Why, that’s unusual, as the Troupers were all going to perform before the military tribunals.  The Troupers have had to wait five to seven years to perform because the government management team, led by the super-circus known as the “Democrat Party”,  kept putting off the trials.

As the show goes onward, we should get to see the Clown-Master himself, Eric Holder, performing what can only be described as dramatic back-flips as he attempts to convict known Terrorist Troopers by applying civil laws against self-confessed Troupers, who literally killed their audiences by their performances.  He will attempt to have the Terrorist Troupers jump through a flaming Miranda  Rights ring while suspended in mid-air!

After performing other magic tricks with the Troupers, such as making civil rights for killers of Americans appear out of thin air, the Clown Master will then introduce exciting acts that will include tossing previous federal attorneys into a lions’ ring with nothing to defend themselves;  CIA operatives will attempt to swallow six-foot-long swords to prove they weren’t torturing the Terrorist Troupers;  European clown acts will be invited to perform back-flips to attempt to indict members of the Bush administration for bad performances of the past.

It doesn’t get much more exciting then this folks!  Oh, yes it does!  Associates of the Terrorist Troupers may make surprise visits to America’s cities at any time during this hilarious performance by Eric and the other clowns!  In fact, the Governor of New York has expressed his delight in the bringing of the Terrorist Troupe to his fine city and state!!  These visits have the potential to be truly explosive and dramatic, even as Eric shows the world how good the American system of justice really is.

All of America is eagerly awaiting the reviews of what promises to be a performance never seen before on our soil.  

All of America has been taken hostage by the actions of  Clown Master Eric Holder.

The Doctor is in…HR 3962, aka Obama’s lies

Hello, Family and Friends!

Just want to pass something on to you.

The American Medical Association can only claim 17% of America’s doctors as it’s members.

That’s less then 1 in 5 doctors.

Yet it claims to speak for America’s doctors, and openly supports Barack hussein Obama’s overt assault on the greatest healthcare system in the history of the world.

Barack hussein Obama’s plan (or is it Nancy Pelosi’s?) will actually cost American taxpayers over THREE TRILLION DOLLARS in deficit spending.

That’s $3,000,000,000,000.00.

So, what will you be getting for this?

You will get rationing.

You will lose your insurance coverage.

You will have direct government intrusion into you and your Families’ lives.

You will receive mediocre health care, or worse, if you can get it.

You can go to prison if you do not buy health insurance.

And that’s just part of the problem.

Barack hussein Obama has lied to all of you.

This bill, HR 3962, is an assault on your Constitutional freedoms.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it allow the government to FORCE THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.

I suggest that all of you get after your senators to let them know that you do not want them interfering with your freedom to select your healthcare.

By the way, the congress and the other members of our ruling elite will not participate in this fraud.

Which brings me back to the biggest lie of all.

Barack hussein Obama says that America’s doctors support his(Pelosi’s) bill, because the American Medical Association supports it.

America’s doctors do not support it.

 Freedoms lost are hard to regain.

The Doctor is in….the dorms….

So here we are, in our mosquito-infested room, needing to make a visit to le toillette, and we find there’s no running water!   Not to mention that we are both pretty ripe from the day before,and wouldn’t a hot shower feel pretty good right now?!?  I was going to let Fred go first, but now it was every man for himself.

As it ended-up, we found a bucket and walked out to the water to load up and fill the toilet tank with salt water. You see, the rooms were about forty yards from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!  Only trouble was, we weren’t tourists, and we needed water!  We were to find out that the old hotel had a water tank for the facilities, and it had depended on the trucking-in of water daily to maintain it.  Well, the water line to the showers in the rooms wasn’t turned on.  Fortunately, there was a single out-door shower that, in the past, was used for washing off after being in the sea. 

One other problem popped-up- where were we going to get breakfast?  Oh, yeah!  No one had a clue as to where we were to eat this first morning.  A group of us, five guys and a woman no one knew, went out to the main road and waited for the local bus.  We’d been told by word of mouth that we were to go out to the main campus in a place called “True Blue”.  We were standing out on the road as cars and minivans went speeding past us. At that time, minivans hadn’t been introduced to the US in any numbers, and they were something new.  Most of these were made by Toyota and Datsun(Nissan).  Remember that this was January, 1977.

Then, along comes this huge truck with drawing and painting on the sides, with bench seats on the bed section. Well, this was the way to go!  So, we hopped aboard the “bus-truck”, and moved on to True Blue.

Our arrival on the “campus” was another big surprise.  I was thinking there would be a building, a couple of stories high, along with a library of some sort and other buildings.

Surprise!  There were two long, single-story buildings, set at a 90 degree angle to each other, with a rectangular, open-air building in the center.  We all looked at each other wondering what was going on, and dreading the idea that this was IT!?!  We hopped off of the “truck-bus” and walked through the faux “gate” onto the “campus”.  There were dozens of men and a few women standing around looking as if they were “shell-shocked”!  Apparently, all of the single students had been carted to the campus to spend the night, and seemed to have had as much fun as we married folks had the night before.

On top of all of this, it was apparent that everyone was hungry and looking for food.  Apparently, the “cafeteria” was a part of the study hall.  This event was bringing an entirely new dimension to  the word “surprised”.

The Doctor is in…getting to St. George…

Well, just about every taxi in the area around St. George, Grenada, had been commandeered to Pearl’s Airport to ferry the newly arrived, dog-beat tired, soon-to-be medical students to the new “campus” of St. George’s University, School of Medicine.  I say “campus”  in that the school was spread out over several areas.

It was already getting dark as the taxis pulled away from the airport, hauling the un-suspecting students to the housing facilities that were still be set up as we arrived.  We had been broken into two groups- married and single students.  Some of the married folks had brought their spouses with them. I had left Nancy behind for several reasons, the most important being her job, as we didn’t have much saved up for this new endeavor.  She was also about 12 weeks pregnant, which made our lives together even more interesting!

My taxi pulled up to what appeared to be an old, worn-out and beat-up hotel.  We would learn that it was the Grand Anse Beach Hotel, and that it had had beter days!  There were locals running around between the buildings, hauling chairs, tables, desks, mattresses and bed frames into the rooms.  It seemed that the ink on whatever contracts that were signed was barely drying as we drove up!

I met a guy named Fred Dunham when we were in New York, staying at a hotel overnight before our flight the next morning. Fred was a quiet, amiable bear of a guy, about six-two or six-three in height. He had left his wife behind to come down to the school as she, too, had to work while Fred was going to classes.  Well, we somehow ran into each other going in to the hotel, now the Grand Anse campus, and decided to bunk up for the night.

That night in New York was something else.  About ten of us guys had met in the lobby of the Holiday Inn and we opted to share a room with two queen beds!  We were all pretty broke, living by the bootstraps. So, imagine ten total strangers parked in a hotel suite, splitting the cost of the room for a night!  Hell, how did we know that one of us wasn’t some serial killer hiding out!! That woulda been a great surprise, huh?!?

Anyways, back to this dumpy little hotel room in Grenada.  Fred and I picked a room on the ground floor, walked in and were greeted by a zillion mosquitoes!  You could hear ‘em buzzing all over the room.  When the light was turned on, we could see the little suckers covering the walls of the room!  There was a “Welcome Med Students” sign being held by the mosquitoes….ohhh, just kidding!  We both crashed and fell asleep pretty quickly.  Were we a mess the next morning, mosquito bites all over us.  The next piece of good news was…no running water in the place!?!  WHAAAAATT  the hell……

The Doctor is in….where’s the oil?

Back from a wonderful trip to Italy and a Med cruise with my wife!  We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and had a great time.  Met neat people from all over the US and Europe.  More about the cruise later on….

Say, have you read about all of the deals that the Chinese communists have been making to secure oil throughout the world?  Today’s paper had an article about a joint deal between BP and CNPC (China Nat’l Petroleum Co.) to expand an oilfield in southern Iraq, increasing its oil production from 1 million barrels to 2.85 MILLION barrels.

Now, you ask, why should this be of concern to the ol’ Doc?  Well the day before this, there was another article about China building what may be the world’s largest nuclear power reactor! 

In the United States of America, the country that pioneered the development of nuclear power as a source of limitless energy for our nation’s homes and industries, we have not built a new nuclear power plant in the past 32 years, with the most recent plant to go “online”  in 1996.

Now, I’m sure that many of you know that there are estimated to be 1.5 to 2 TRILLION BARRELS of oil available to the United States within our borders and offshore.  Most of you know that China is involved with oil acquisition  off of our shores in the Caribbean, near Cuba?  Did you know that the Chinese are also helping Petrobras, a Brazilian oil company, to develop oil off of its coastline, in a field that has been described as bigger then that in Iran and Iraq combined?  Oh, and one other thing; George Soros, the multibillionaire who hates America and what it stands for, is a majority owner of Petrobras.  AND, George received TWO MILLION of YOUR tax dollars to “help” him develop this field.  George is a good friend of Barack hussein Obama.

So, what is my point, you ask?

Well, right now our economy is in the crapper because of high energy costs, and there’s a good chance that these costs will ramp-up as winter sets in and starts to hammer Americans in the Midwest and Eastern states.  The California economy, set to be declared bankrupt one of these days, could be helped by the opening-up of off-shore drilling, where there are millions of barrels of oil available.

Our country is being stymied by the environmental activists who have blocked our growth.  These activists advocate the use of ethanol, a chemical that is worsening pollution .  They advocate wind farms to produce electricity.  It takes hundreds or even thousands, of these giant windmills to produce a fraction of the energy that oil or nuclear power would produce at a fraction of the cost.  Guess what else happens with wind mills?  They kill birds by the THOUSANDS!!  Where’s the Audobon Society to scream its righteous anger, demanding a stop to the senseless killings?!?

The environmental activists (aka whackos in some circles) have blocked the exploration and production of oil, claiming environmental hazard.  I’ll bet many of you didn’t know that the elk herds around the Alaska pipeline have MULTIPLIED  in numbers (“In the 1970s people were concerned about the effect of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, expanding oil development, and increased disturbance from use of aircraft and snowmobiles on caribou. Although there was some displacement of caribou calving in the Prudhoe Bay oilfield, in general, caribou have not been adversely affected by human activities in Alaska. Pipelines and most other developments are built to allow for caribou movements, and caribou have shown us that they can adapt to the presence of people and machines. As human activities expand in Alaska, the great challenge for caribou management is for man to consider the needs of our caribou herds and ensure that they remain a visible, healthy part of our landscape.” Taken from http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/biggame/caribou.php) The greatest dangers to the elk and caribou populations comes from predators and disease.  The environmental whackos (EW) have fought tooth and nail to prevent further exploitation of ANWR (Alaska Nat’l Wildlife Refuge).

Nuclear power plants were encouraged by the Bush administration, and 16 new plants were approved in 2006-07.  They have yet to be started.

Folks, when the Chinese and Russians are going balls-out to develop energy resources, while our congress and president are trying to saddle America with a “cap-and-trade/tax” bill that will TRASH the U.S. economy, we as a nation have to challenge the politicians leading us into economic ruin.  Multiple studies are out there documenting the devastation that will occur with “cap-and-tax”.  Global warming, and the attacks on CO2 emissions, is a GRAND HOAX, an overt assault on the freedoms we as Americans enjoy, an attack on the “American dream”.  I’ll have a follow-on that proves the fraud and fabrications produced by the GWW (global warming whackos).  Stay tuned!

Have a fine day ahead!

 

 

 

The Doctor is in…..the sexual predator at CBS….

Hi, All!  This is a letter I sent to CBS as regards Dave “hot pants” Letterman.  Think about Dave and ol’ Roman Polanski.  The only thing different in how they operated is that Roman had to juice ‘em and drug ‘em;  ol’ Dave probably promised a good job or other exciting “positions” to the ladies he bedded.

Regular folks like you and I would have been fired long ago for this. 

I guess Hollywood has different standards then many of us.  Guess I’ll just stay home from the movies….

 

Hi, Folks!
I finally have some time, so I thought I’d drop you a line…
It seems to me that CBS has a sexual predator on the prowl, over there at Late Night.  As a rule, I could care less about some dickweed, has-been comedian screwing any piece of tail that he comes across.
What I find interesting is that, where I work, and probably in thousands of other work sites around America, a guy pulling this would have been fired a LONG TIME AGO.
What is a sorry sight that is apparent for all to see is that you people are flaming hypocrites.
You allowed Letterman to insult a woman’s child on national television because that daughter’s mother is a conservative, Christian, Republican political candidate.
Well, keep up the good, liberal, democrat agenda.  I’m sure most of you feel empathy for poor ol’ Roman Polanski, too?
The sad story here is that your own kids get to watch this garbage that you are passing off as entertainment.  We know where the “off” switch is for CBS.
I will work hard to avoid your sponsors; I will encourage my patients, my Family and my Friends to avoid your garbage, oops, programming.
It may not be much to you folks.  Then again, there may be thousands of others like me who are just plain tired of your slinging crap at the wall to see what will stick.
Shame on you.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Cushing, MD

Barack hussein Obama’s priorities…..

Hello, All!

Well, Barack hussein Obama has shown us what is more important to him and his marxist friends in the White House.

He hasn’t spoken to General MacChrystal, the commander of American troops in Afghanistan, for more then 70 days about what to do with this war.

Remember, during the campaign for the presidency, Barack hussein Obama ridiculed and demeaned George Bush for his Iraq policy, telling the nation that Afghanistan is where the war on terror had to be fought and must continue to be fought.

Barack hussein Obama is in Denmark, working hard to gain the Olympics for the city of Chicago.

Can you imagine the amounts of money that are being tossed around for this?

But BHO doesn’t have the time to meet with his General, a man directing >60 THOUSAND OF OUR FINEST MILITARY PEOPLE,  men and women who are sacrificing their lives for our freedom, to protect America from homicidal, islamofascist terrorism.

In the past, I have described the democrat party as the PARTY OF DEFEAT.

I stand by this description, and there is no one out there who can dispute this.

I also stand by the description of the democrat party as D4- the party of-

Defeat

Despair

Deceit

Death.

Wake-up, Folks.  This isn’t the old Democratic party of the past that had men and women of some honor and integrity.

This is now the democrat party of socialists, marxists and communists who are tearing down the freedoms and liberties that have been guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

This is the democrat party that sells-out other democratic nations, nations that are trying to stop the spread of tyranny.

Remember, 9/11 happened in a vacuum that was created by the administration of Bill Clinton.  Clinton served up 9/11 on a platter to the islamofascists, and Bush got stuck holding the bag.

Have to go now.

Better start squawking, Folks.

FREEDOMS LOST ARE HARD TO REGAIN.

Cush

The Doctor is in…nukes and I

So, Iran now has another nuclear site that comes as a surprise to all the world’s leaders!  I am shocked…shocked, to hear that the leaders of the major terrorist-sponsoring nation in the world would be flying in the face of the worlds’ opprobrium!

Now, if you go back a few years, say, to the 1930’s, you would be interested to read about another leader, in a very “civilized” country, telling the world that his country needed “lebensraum”, room to live, for his burgeoning nation.  H had his covetous gaze set at the Soviet Union, the amalgam of formerly independent countries that had been taken over by the communists during the 1920’s.  In fact, the Ukraine was known as Europe’s breadbasket, at least before Stalin killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in the ’30’s for opposing him.  He literally starved them to death.

Well, the fellow looking for that “living room” was Adolph Hitler.  The reason I bring up this distasteful human being is that he had told the world that he was going to bring Germany to greatness in his book, Mein Kampf.   He also had the stones to tell the world that he was going to deal with a group of people he zealously believed had brought Germany to its knees- the Jews.

Hitler was very clear and forthright in his views regarding the Juden.  The Jew was at the head of the list of those scum of the earth  Hitler was going to do something about.  Gypsies, homosexuals, communists, labor unions, intellectuals (those who didn’t think the way he was thinking) and anyone else he deemed “abnormal” or dangerous to his plans, followed the Jews down the list.

Hitler also wanted to do away with those whose lives were “unworthy of life”.  This is a term that was a core notion in a very good book, The Nazi Doctors, by Dr. Robert Jay Lifton.  Abortion and Euthanasia were to be key elements of the German government’s efforts to “purify” the Aryan race.  Of note is that an American eugenicist and rabid pro-abortion zealot, Margaret Sanger, believed that Hitler was on the right track, and was an advocate of many of Hitler’s policies.

You ask, what does this line of thought have to do with the nuclear weapons that Iran is building? 

Well, the president of Iran, a man of  un-bounded and limitless vitriol towards the Jews, has told the world on multiple occasions that  he wants to wipe the Jewish state off of the map.  Now, at one time those were fighting words.  Unfortunately, Iran happens to be sitting on a decent amount of oil, black gold, Texas tea.  This is also a commodity that invites extortion of other nations. Iran has been playing the governments of the world like a violin played by a master.  He realizes that the leaders of the major countries are spineless, and are frightened by the threat of terrorist actions against their countries if they take action against Iran.

The timorous leaders worry that Iran will close down the Persian Gulf, or begin the sinking of their ships caught there.  The rapscallion Ahmadinejad knows who and what he is dealing with.   The election of Barack hussein Obama has given him the go-ahead sign to make those nukes happen.

Rest assured that Ahmadinejad and the theocracy  that passes for the government of Iran either has the nukes ready to be built, or will have them within 6-12 months.  It does not matter how soon they will have them.  The very idea that they will have them is justification for an attack against every nuclear site in Iran possible.   AMERICA SHOULD BE IN THE LEAD IN THIS ATTACK, because America has been one of the hardest hit by terrorism.  America has been singled out as the “Great Satan” by Ahmadinejad and his hate-squad of theocrats.  He and others in the government of Iran have stated that they seek the destruction of America.

The government of Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorism throughout the world.  Because of this, our world is a less pleasant place to be.  Because of this, Americans have seen their freedoms and liberties taken away from them in the name of “security”.  Ben Franklin had a great line- “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

When a world leader has no fear when he states that he will “wipe Israel off of the map”,  the world had better do something about it.  It is obvious that “the world” has refused to take out the cancer that has been the Iranian government for the past forty years.  “The world” had a chance to take out Hitler but “the world” failed to do it.  Unfortunately, Barack hussein Obama is not a leader, nor does he have the character to lead the attack against a rogue nation that has attacked us via surrogates.

My message here is that we should be prepared for another 9/11 event, of an even greater magnitude than the first.  The islamofascist terrorists are constantly probing, tweaking, looking for a way to hurt us, as individuals and as a nation.  My greatest fear is that when we are attacked, the “leader” of this great country will take away even more freedom and liberty from all of us, in order to give us a little security.

Be vigilant, Friends.  Freedoms lost are hard to regain.

Good morning, All!

Another shameless plug for my new blog- www.docsblock.wordpress.com.  I invite you to visit….often!

I just listened to Barack hussein Obama telling George Stephanopolous on Sunday that he wasn’t even aware that ACORN was receiving federal monies, and that there are more pressing issues then the ACORN revelations.

HUH?!?

An organization that is joined at the hip to BHO, involved with setting up whorehouses that would employ the “services” of underage immigrant girls; an organization that is under indictments in multiple states for voter fraud; an organization that would be involved with the up-coming national census and a recipient of more then 8 BILLION DOLLARS  from the BHO stimulus “fund”- he doesnt know anything about this? Fortunately, the Census bureau has severed its connections with ACORN.  Watch out, though; ACORN will find another way to sneak into the Census and all the money that’s involved!

Now, if this had been an organization that was supporting ANY Republican/conservative politician, there would be hourly demands from the MSM and democrats that a federal investigation be initiated and congressional hearings from now until God-only-knows when.

Where is the public outcry? 

Where is the Republican party?

Did you know that BHO is getting ready to pull our troops out of Afghanistan?

Did you know that BHO has sold-out the Poles and Czechs by refusing to set up an anti-missile system in their countries AFTER he had told them America will stand by them last June?

Did you know that BHO is trying to crush the democratically elected and run government of Honduras, siding with Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Evo Morales and Daniel Ortega, communists all?

We are at a great juncture in American history. We have a marxist leader, and congress, that are working daily to take away your freedoms.

Pay attention- the Second and First Amendments are being attacked, specifically by Eric Holder and the FCC. Check out HR 45, an overt assault on the Right to Bear Arms.

 

Freedoms lost are hard to regain. 

The Doctor is in….parents’ day at a UC

What a beautiful day my wife and I spent going out to a local University of California for a Parent’s Orientation Day (POD).  The drive was easy and quick, no Chips out to ruin the day with a speeding ticket!

We wandered about the campus after leaving our car in the parking structure; it was only 2 bucks an hour to park there, the price doubled on September 1st.  That nasty old budget crisis in California apparently hitting the UC’s hard.  Well, that was one of the lead story lines at POD.

The meeting that was of interest occurred after lunch, in a large  room where 250-300 parents met to listen to the provost of the school talk about the goals and intentions of that college.  I was listening closely to her presentation as some clues had already popped up as regards global warming and the history program that was being taught to the students.  Even more interesting was her university training.  This professor is a graduate of a well-known, Ivy-League university in the far Northeastern United States.

Have any of you heard the term “Euro-centric” (EC)?  The provost discussed how important it was for the university to get away from the EC view of American history.  Rather then teaching the classics, the study of nations, political ideas and concepts that have led to the building of America, she believes the focus of the program should be on “asking questions”.  She proceeded to talk about the “touchy-feely”, “squishy” programs to help the students find their way through history.  She and her faculty are going to make sure that white men don’t get all of the credit.

My poor wife was telling me to “shush” as I started a slow simmer listening to the concepts being touted by this provost. The ol’ blood pressure started ramping-up as this distinguished professor talked about the importance of studying global warming, carbon emissions and the Cap and Tax bill being debated in the Congress.  Her position regarding GW became obvious later in the exchange we had.

The final stone cast by the provost was her slide showing the distinguished guests that have been invited to speak at the UC. There were about 30 names on this list, and 28 of them were liberal democrats.  There were 2 Republicans mentioned, one of them a RINO (Pete Wilson), and the other was George Deukmajian….who’s that guy?

Well, my wife had already left the room, sensing that I was going to rush the stage as any radical, right-wing, neo-con NRA, pro-lifer would ordinarily do at this point.  Hahahaha, only kidding.  Showing remarkable restraint (for me), I raised my hand to toss a few points at the provost.

I initially challenged her as regards the EC viewpoint, and asked her if the program was going to essentially throw out the history about people who established our great country.  You see, according to the history I learned, it really was a group of (angry) (white) men who took a stand against another white man by the name of King George III and his country, another collection of many white people. Again, as I understood from my history lessons, these same (angry) (white) men put together a set of incredible documents that I’m sure most of you have heard about- the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.  These men also faced death as traitors to the King and English law.  In fact, many of these men did lose everything for having participated in one of History’s greatest Revolutions.

The provost waited patiently as this truculent parent brought up the fact that GW is still a theory, one being challenged by many more scientists then I think she would like to know about. Finally, I pointed out to her that 28 of the 30 guest speakers were liberal democrats.  This did not sit well with her.

She began her reply to my EC question/statement carefully. Her point being that her students would be challenged to ask questions.  There is not going to be a formal learning of the classics. My impression of her answer was that the classics would be referenced, but not gone into in any depth. “Questions”  and challenges to the status quo is where she will take her students.  The problem here is- if you don’t know about the classics, how can one rationally ask questions or challenge them?

She then addressed my GW question; it is here that I really got pissed.  She stood before the audience and stated that she and her faculty were going to teach “the TRUTH” as regards GW.  That did it for me. You know how the media calls people “9/11 truthers” who think that George Bush planned 9/11; or that people who are calling out for Barack hussein Obama’s birth certificate are “birthers”?  Well, this advocate, no, this disciple, of GW is what I call a “warmer”.

Finally, as regards her guest speakers of which she was very proud; well, it is just difficult to get some speakers due to timing or the fees they charge, or they aren’t interested.  I suspect that one of the reasons conservative speakers aren’t invited or welcomed on the campus is because of the faculty bias and because there are organizations that create conflict on the campus when a differing viewpoint is offered to the students. How can the students be hearing anything different about the world when 28 of 30 speakers are liberal/far left speakers?

The POD ended and the parents filed out of the meeting.  Oh, the provost received a rousing applause after she put me in my place.  I’m not sure if the applause was for the diss or for her otherwise interesting discussion about where our children will be taken politically as they undergo their college brain wash…oops, matriculation.  Three parents came up to me outside and offered their thanks to me for asking the questions.  I’m sure many parents didn’t want to rock the boat and set their children up for possible repercussions……no, that would never happen in the “open” environment of today’s modern university!?!

I had fun today bringing the “Eurocentric” mush up in conversation with my daughter, a bright young woman whom I expect will be an outstanding teacher and student of history. You see, I realize that it wasn’t just the angry white men who single-handedly created the concepts of the Constitution, the Declaration and the Bill of Rights.  They were conflicted human beings, as evidenced by the open sore of slavery that they chose to ignore at the time, many of them realizing that it would fester and ultimately erupt (John Adams and Tom Jefferson being two of them).  America paid for that mistake by fighting a war against itself, with Americans killing more of themselves then in all of our other wars.

These men did bring the concepts of centuries of thought, of trial and error, into a building in Philadelphia.  There were heated debates, near fisticuffs at times. But they toughed it out and pulled the hard-earned ideas from the past into the present of their era.  And the greatest nation in the history of man-kind was born. 

I love those “eurocentric ” men, and I thank them from the deepest parts of my soul for the freedoms they established for all of us.  I just hope that the provost and her faculty will make sure to give full credit where it is due.

Freedoms lost are hard to regain.
