Sorry...but your kids morals were already fully formed by the time they went to college.
YOU were their first and most important teacher. This is especially true in regard to morals. Perhaps you should examine your own role in their moral development.
Really? You don’t think that being immersed in an environment that is completely one-sided, and in many cases, punishes those who dare to not go along with the university’s permissible views has an effect on still-developing brains?
Leslie, as a parent of a child in college (& one who loves theatre at that) I often feel that it is me against the world with passing down my morals, values & political beliefs. I know my daughter voted but I don’t know who she voted for. All we can do is continue to love them & be a good example, & pray every day. Children aren’t puppets. They have their own thoughts & experiences. I know in the house I grew up in (same parents/morals) my older siblings became raging liberals while I kept our faith & political leanings. If you’re trying that’s all you can do. But always pray & try to set a good example
I raised three children. They are exceptionally kind and also highly educated. They were born with certain talents which--as parents--we supported and developed. By the time they were 12 years old they hated animal abusers and they understood right from wrong in their very bones. No, I do not believe 18 year olds are still "developing" intellectually or morally. These are qualities which a young child absorbs through every day interactions. Nothing any college professor could say to my children would have changed their impulses to protect the helpless and the innocent and to expose those who endanger the "self evident truths" that uphold our country.
“Critical thinking” was taught in high school… those were always the words used… I never knew exactly what was meant by it…. but criticizing the accepted Western Judeo-Christian moral and theological values and philosophy was what was meant.
Right; for all practical purposes they teach immorality by withholding relevant information and claiming certainty about claims for which there is little to no evidence.
Fascinating...So many graduating with any University/College Degree choose to believe the delusion of reaching the ultimate level of INFORMATION ACQUISTION and end their intellectual growth at that time.
Further, even more interesting how so many close themselves to ever again question this delusion and are increasingly adept with 'Defense Mechanisms' to allow this delusion to remain intact.
What I find shocking...and disturbing, is that so many voted for Harris at all!! These 'brain dead' Leftists are still here. We can never again be complacent in protecting the Constitution and rule of law!! TRUTH.....AND ACCOUNTABLITY, IS A MUST!!
We should keep pushing for paper ballots ( will get a more accurate count that way) and get rid of the main-in ballots. Otherwise it’ll be a nightmare again in 4 years.
I was given a choice yesterday at my polling location: paper or other (so not interested in "other" that I failed to listen when "other" was explained; I suppose it was some sort of electronic thing).
Such a welcoming and unexpected choice it was that I was momentarily speechless. Yes; I am that out-of-touch with what goes on here locally. (my bad). :-(
In response to the sentence - "People who go to university and receive professional training generally obtain higher social status and incomes, and this fosters their belief that they are educated. This is especially true of medical doctors, who undergo far more training that almost every other professional." Pretty simple actually....highly educated but not very intelligent. How often have we encountered people who can recite things chapter and verse but can't think themselves out of a paper bag? Enough said. Pax
Oh how true it is. Being an alternative health care professional and red pilled at an early age, it is easier to see through veil of evil. Tried to tell so many people who trusted me with their care but could and would not listen when it came to the jab.
As a long time user of TCM, I understand the tightrope you walk every day of your life. God bless you for warning people about this dangerous injection. I tried to warn people merely by pointing out that the job was experimental, and did they want to take an experiment? And believe me, I was consigned to the category of wacky.
The consequences of THE JAB are most likely on-going. No one has ventured any real forecast of what the long range consequences will be from this disastrous experiment in which the gates of our encoded genetic blueprints once securely stored and defended against have been assaulted . Gods work has been assaulted....his fortress breached. We monkeyed around with fire. My guess is....we will be good and burned.
I have tried to explain, the below concept, so many times to various people. You’ve just helped me refine my argument. Thanks!
"People sometimes ask my why Drs. Peter McCullough and Paul Marik broke ranks with so many of their academic medical colleagues during the pandemic.
“Because they continued performing investigative scholarship while most of their colleagues sat on their hands and waited for guidance from Fauci’s NIAID,” I replied. In other words, most medical doctors in the United States acted more like clerics deferring to orthodoxy than true scholars."
I think these ‘educated elite’ pretty much stop learning, assuming that they know all they need to know. It’s surprising that they didn’t have an epiphany when, presumably vaxxed, they learned of their mistake…..or perhaps they didn’t even learn that, as the voices they listen to don’t want them to know.
They don't know....yet. It's coming though. Geert Vanden Booshe has discussed what the likely outcome will be as has Dolores Cahill.....predicting a "Tsunami of death and illness"--As most people I know actually DID get this injection-including every member of my family including my husband...I am desperately hoping this is not true and that the "vaccines" failed because of poor quality controls and rushed "warp speed" production methods. Dr. Mike Yeadon-- who retired as a vp of Pfizer-- has said many of the batches were duds.
A long a complicated article explicating how THE JAB works to alter our genomes and perhaps--kill us? I was an English major I have no idea about any of this stuff mentioned here. Hoping someone will explain and comment on this very arcane account of how mRNA vaccines work--https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/update-decentralized-medicine-bombshell
Jessica Rose PhD in substack, has a good explanation of potential downsides which until proven otherwise with honest testing should be enough to get this technology off the market.
I read a book by Edward Haslam called “Dr. Mary’s Monkey” about many of the people mentioned in this link, and the connection with JFK’s assassination. This article confirms the information in the book, which I found fascinating but questionable.
Our wealthy self-appointed ruling class overlords did not think we'd notice their punishing economic policies and their arrogant 'ends justify means' use of censorship and lawfare to silence their political enemies. Well the curtain just got pulled back and there it was: class warfare, not racism, is what has been wreaking havoc on our nation.
On November 5th, as their media shills gleefully celebrated what they thought would be our willing leap into their Marxist abyss, it was not an easy choice for many Americans to vote for Trump. Now lets hope he will honor our trust by exercising a measure of humility as he rightly goes about turning our country back from that existential ledge.
It will not be easy and the battle is far from over....rather only now the lines are drawn... and the war has just begun. It is not a war of "politics" --it is good old fashioned class warfare...Rich against the poor
Remember how Trump told us to "get vaccinated" because "this is a very good vaccine"...
His exact words. Has he withdrawn them? Does he still advocate our suicide?
We are in a phase of capitalism that is monopolistic. The economy has grown, but fewer people control the gains. Everything always gets down to money, it has to because it is like oxygen you can't survive without it. Any politician should be ignored when it comes to them telling you personally what health decision to make. They don't know, in fact they are at the mercy of their advisors, and certainly don't have time for 'research.' Scot Atlas attempted to give good information to Trump, but Fauci and his cronies shut him down and out. I hope Bobby Kennedy gets traction and can stop vax mandates for school attendance, as well as 'get' the media to tell the truth about the covid dangers, so that when a pregnant woman sees her doctor who pushes it, she can refer to mainstream media messaging in her mind, and say 'oh no, I just heard on the news that is increases risk of miscarriage etc...' Or a coach at a health club will see the news, and not encourage young athletes to take it. I really think this is a pivotal moment in breaking the vaccine stranglehold. Society did the pivot with tobacco, and the dangers of over prescribing antibiotics, they can do it again for vaccines.
I think he has admitted he invested his trust into n the wrong people, and has entrusted RFK Jr with power in this area. Not exactly an admission of wrongdoing but at this point I’ll settle for “half a loaf rather than none.” Having suffered a non covid v@xx injury previous to 2019, I read RFK jr books and support him. He has a firm grip in the science.
Most college degrees don't nearly attest to acquired skills as much as their recipients think. I can only observe that in recent years, most farmers, ranchers, truckers and factory workers have illustrated more common sense than some of the so-called "educated" elites. I expect, though, that we are at a tipping point. As I pointed out before, I doubt that any employer will hire for any mission critical role based on certificates from many colleges, who seem to solely graduate based on identity politics and political narrative adherence, rather than skills or accomplishment.
But ! Please don’t forget that probably 20 or so million kamalalA votes were fraudulent .
And all the democrats who hated her guts and the 4 years of tyranny decided NOT to vote for her BUT at the same time still brainwashed enough to never vote for trump.
That imo best explains the huge differentials of votes received from 2020 and 2024.
The only mystery still remaining is the concurrent lower amount of votes trump received compared to 2020!!
Could it be that CovAids forced people to vote because there was little else to do ?!
Or is the more likely scenario that a few million trump votes were destroyed by kamalalA grant™️ supporters along with voter machine manipulations at the polls ?!
Only time will tell, and that’s conditional on trump himself ordering a full audit of 2020b
No other way to safeguard future elections from interference .
Oh and that newsom’s California law banning voter id should be challenged in the Supreme Court and smacked down back on his face 🤣
The over-educated yet ignorant and arrogant are certainly part of the issue. There's a whole other cohort, though, that has no college education and yet still votes blue. I know one of these personally because he's my deadbeat brother, 51, who has worked a real job for less than a decade in his entire life, preferring to live at home with mother "to take care of her" when that was never a real cause until covid came along and he got her to get jabbed along with himself. A couple of years later she essentially died of dementia and disintegration of her insides. Now he claims he has cancer. I tried many times to warn him he was being lied to but, of course, being a working person with a family and kids and, gasp, a Trump supporter, I may have well been telling him to drink bleach. So be it. Another self-immolation for the church of insanity.
I think this is the overlap between non-educated and half-educated zealots: Laziness. Too lazy to investigate anything that disagrees with the world view they've been indoctrinated into made all too easy by Trump's manner and speaking style. Darwin keeps rolling along stacking bodies. Hopefully, we all come out stronger for it.
Of course, this is after Trump finishes constructing all the concentration camps and gas chambers, gets the trains running on time and orders those fancy uniforms. I mean, he's "literally Hitler", right?
How in the world the FCC does not pull the licenses of media companies letting people on the air who say such things is beyond me. Time for new laws to shut down that sort of thing on cable television, as well. If nothing else, pull all government tax breaks for the media companies and, hell, even weaponize the IRS to audit the hell out of the owners of MSNBC. I don't care how it's done but the days of letting the CCP and George Soros use proxies to push the divisive hate have to be stopped. <end of rant>
There is a first move that looks like it will be rolled out very very quickly and will dry up Big Pharma slanted “news”. Pulling the plug on advertising of pharmaceuticals on public airwaves.
1000%. There's a reason that only 2 countries in the whole world allow it. Man, just think how much more pleasant watching tv would be without drug ads. And the content would get better, too. Right now there is zero motivation to make good content. They all get paid regardless. Tv right now is like the streaming ad service present in every doctor's office in the country.
I saw a chart this AM of what caused people that voted Democrat versus Republican on an exit review. 60% of the Democrats said it was because of 'democracy' with the next largest category being abortion. The economy was very much lower. With Republican voters the highest was the economy and the next was immigration. Those results tell me that the Democrat voters are entrapped by the propaganda of the MSM while many of the Republican voters displayed an ability to think for themselves. I am encouraged by the defeat of the elitists and the MSM. Remember when the NY Times during Covid ran an article that said it was wrong to critically think?
Whether you are educated or not means little if you don’t have common sense. Common sense should have told everyone that the country was going down the toilet with the Biden-Harris regime. Additionally, Harris admitted that she wouldn’t have done anything differently. I rest my case.
More educated does not necessarily mean wiser. Education involves some degree of acceptance of subjugation of one's free will to authority, insofar as one accepts one's mentors as having superior understanding. In this regard, the most educated are also most willing to follow authority and comply with nonsense because it came from "trusted news" or "trusted officials". Wisdom recognizes the limits of human understanding and is forever questioning, knowing that the truth can be fully understood by no-one. In this regard the most educated are sometimes the least wise.
I agree 100%. As soon as I got my first job after graduating, I started learning what I really needed to know as an engineer developing innovative products. And the guys in the lab/machine shop, with no fancy degrees and with 30 years of hands on experience building things that actually work, were great teachers. I keep learning everyday and love teaching and empowering others with actual skills that they never learned in school.
John Leake, Thank you for your leadership, courage, and relentless pursuit of the truth.
Spot on!! I went to college in Boston too and love that city. I noticed many professors and fellow grad students that had no interest or experience in thinking “outside the box” and very little common sense. Book learning and staying in a rut do not allow for any real growth. Most of all they reject God and lack that blessed wisdom.
Such is the sad condition of human beings, that our default attitude toward God is unbelief and often hatred of Him.
Martin Luther (ca. 1520s) once wrote that education without Gospel understanding makes men like putty in the Devil's hands, to devise scandalous schemes among themselves by which to undo the work of Christ.
That is this writer's best recollection of what ML wrote. Do not quote me 🧐😟.
It sounds like something Luther would write, so I don't doubt it. The apostle Paul stated, "knowledge puffs up, but love edifies." 1 Corinthians 8:1. Mere mental education will not save or uplift the world, because it often makes men think they are independent of God, and so they rely on their own wisdom and strength. This leaves them with no external power to resist sin, and so they are overcome of evil.
At best, they might invoke God's blessing on their plans (they are the planners, God is the helper). But even in this they are denigrating God, and exalting themselves.
Morals are not taught in college...
Nor is critical thinking. I regret both my kids went to college - can't reason their way out of a paper bag. And extremely closed minded.
Sorry...but your kids morals were already fully formed by the time they went to college.
YOU were their first and most important teacher. This is especially true in regard to morals. Perhaps you should examine your own role in their moral development.

Right; for all practical purposes they teach immorality by withholding relevant information and claiming certainty about claims for which there is little to no evidence.
My perception is that something on a college application that represents moral character would count against the applicant.
Immoral acts that one could blame on society would work in the applicants favor.
Fascinating...So many graduating with any University/College Degree choose to believe the delusion of reaching the ultimate level of INFORMATION ACQUISTION and end their intellectual growth at that time.
Further, even more interesting how so many close themselves to ever again question this delusion and are increasingly adept with 'Defense Mechanisms' to allow this delusion to remain intact.
At Notre Dame we did learn quite a bit about morality. Mandatory philosophy and theology classes.
What I find shocking...and disturbing, is that so many voted for Harris at all!! These 'brain dead' Leftists are still here. We can never again be complacent in protecting the Constitution and rule of law!! TRUTH.....AND ACCOUNTABLITY, IS A MUST!!

John - as an attorney here in a deep blue city - and familiar with the credentialed legal community here - I cannot agree more with your observations.

Well act in haste repent in leisure...the only problem is that for many this actin will result in death
Purifies the gene pool.
The consequences of THE JAB are most likely on-going. No one has ventured any real forecast of what the long range consequences will be from this disastrous experiment in which the gates of our encoded genetic blueprints once securely stored and defended against have been assaulted . Gods work has been assaulted....his fortress breached. We monkeyed around with fire. My guess is....we will be good and burned.
Never forget that we are dealing with a power structure. Money and power.

ah ah educated my arse. you mean indoctrinated people tend to vote democrats.
Brainwashed people tend to vote democrat as well. Mainstream media and the deep state know all about this.
