“What’s Wrong With You People!?”

I’m so old I remember when people were still outraged by the slaughter of innocent people by terrorists at a musical event. Can you say “Bataclan?” 

Apparently the world has moved on from its horror of terrorism, at least when it comes to Jews. People around the world have marched to celebrate the weekend massacre, chanting “we are with Palestine” instead of “we are with Israel.” And a sitting member of the U.S. Congress proudly displays her Palestinian flag this week. As someone said, “what part of ‘never again’ did you not understand?” Or as the Patriot’s owner so succinctly put it: “what’s wrong with you people?”

In case you are wondering how it is that Jews, a minority once considered victims are now seen an oppressors you need look no further than the usual suspects: universities and the media.

Good work liberal progressives, you’ve managed to tongue twist yourselves into a soggy pretzels.

Which is why you all look like Bozos from where I’m sitting.

BTW, a pro-Palestine group demonstrates against Israel outside of a synagogue in Ann Arbor every Saturday and have been doing so for over 20 years. They’re a dedicated and tenacious lot.

The Influencing of the American Mind

Apparently academia isn’t big enough for opposing ideas any more: Conservative Law Professors Who Have ‘Had Enough’ Are Leaving Acadmia. You can file this under:

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. — Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood 

Of course that’s the idea.

But good, that will just make room for the new staff required to influence the minds of young people gullible enough to pay $100k for a college degree in “internet influencer”.

influencerTransgenderizing will be one of the core courses

Trust me, there will be hoards of them. At least their return on investment will be better than kids majoring in boring old degrees like accounting, another discipline being abandoned in droves because it’s too hard and doesn’t pay enough. But getting back to the Internet Influencer degree: better get with it universities, as usual China’s way ahead of us.
