I have just experienced - I use that word advisedly - one of the most impressive, inspirational, hopeful, exhilirating, joyful ( I will have to ask that you please excuse my enthusisam) videos I have ever seen, of a brief talk by a scholar who has been called one of the greatest historians of our time, Niall Fergson, on the occasion of a reception welcoming the Founding Class of the recently founded University of Austin of Texas. The title has a great potential of “scaring off” many who would benefit greatly from its lessons and I can say that because as much as I have long admired this scholar I let this item languish for some time since learning about it in a post at Powerline a week ago — the title is
Watch the video, and was very impressed. He confirmed my thoughts using moslov law and Peters theory and other great philosophers. I haven't read all them(except the first two) but I learned about them through Mark Levin a d how our founding fathers used their philosophies to create our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The liberal colleges and universities reminds me of an apartment complex, I lived in Anaheim, California. I didn't notice at first, but one night I felt somethings crawling in my bed. I found roaches all over the place. I went to the landlord and he sent an exterminator to the apartment. It didn't work, they were throughout the whole complex. He needed to tent and exterminate the whole building. Which he wasn't going to do. And I broke my lease and found another place to live.,,,without roaches. What has that have to do with Neil Ferguson presentation? You can't start over, if you're not willing to eliminate the WHOLE PROBLEM. The universities and colleges will only tackle the issues piece meal, creating an image that they are handling the issue which they are not. Government should not subsides universities or colleges.
Thanks, Steve-so glad you liked it. He is a powerful speaker isn’t he? Hope springs eternal!
