University Brainwashing

“Outside of fields where people use equations, Harvard is a non-sectarian university only in name. It has been captured and subverted: from syllabi to exams, from admissions to graduation, from hiring to promotion. Harvard remains in denial of its own radicalism. It sneers and looks down on most of America and on American values like color-blind equality, meritocracy, free speech, hard work, and individual responsibility.” —Harvard professor Omar Sultan Haque

“Most voters are motivated by concrete concerns — direct economic interests and ethnic or racial concerns. College-educated voters tend to have more theoretical concerns.” —Michael Barone

“Sadly, we are now at the point where representatives of our most reliable ally in the Middle East risk their lives by simply going outside on the streets of Washington, D.C., and other major cities.” —Gary Bauer

Re: The Left

“What ‘multiculturalism’ boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture — and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.” —Thomas Sowell

“While our political elites and celebrities seem fixated on using racial putdowns for career advantage and personal notoriety, the people increasingly ignore their entrenched and off-putting racism.” —Victor Davis Hanson on how some racial slurs seem to be acceptable

“When Donald Trump is president, it’s considered dangerously authoritarian if he accuses someone of treason — and it’s considered heroic ‘truth-telling’ when you accuse Trump of being a treasonous authoritarian.” —Tim Graham

Reality Check

“Yet again, we are witnessing Republicans only being interested in fiscal conservatism when they are out of power. We are, yet again, witnessing Republicans preserve signature Democrat initiatives they campaigned on killing.” —Erick Erickson
