On October 8, 2007 Ann “I have running mouth disease” Coulter appeared on the Donny Deutsch show, “The Big Idea”. Now typically when Ann speaks there is always trouble to follow, in fact I am certain that Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes” was written about Coulter. Her comments on the show with Mr. Deutsch were plan as day, this country would be better if we were all Christian. Apparently Coulter likes to walk around with both eyes closed because if we were all Christian we would still have the same problems we have today. But these naive words aren’t the ones I wish to relate to you all. Mr. Deutsch, after Coulter said all should become Christian, asked the follow, “Christian — so we should be Christian? It would be better if we were all Christian?”. Coulter replied, “Yes.”

A Generation of Free Thinkers?

clipper's remarks: A blogger wonders about his generation, and whether they are trapped between the liberalism and conservatism of 2 other generations.

If we are free thinkers, why such trouble now? The trouble arises from having two very contradictory value sets from which to act. Our teachers made sure that we learned the lessons of liberal and leftist ideology well. We had to you see, it was part of the curriculum and we were raised to work hard and succeed. We were also raised to respect authority, and what is the biggest authority figure in a young child and young adults life than the education system? So these liberal lessons were ingrained into our minds and took up residency next to the values of our parents. At the time it seemed benign, we weren't really old enough to think for ourselves yet, and no one else seemed to be bothered by the blatant brainwashing that was taking place. We were a young and eager captive audience to the demagoguery that is liberal education.

On Josh's "A Fallen Generation"

clipper's remarks: One take on a blogger who discusses why his generation feels and is oppressed.

Josh puts the problem facing all of us rather bluntly in his post "A Fallen Generation" - the best and brightest of our generation seem to be completely excluded from honors or even meaningful work. What I like best about his analysis is the logic underlying it. That logic goes "Since this seems to be a generational problem, let us see how our generation interacts with other generations." What Josh finds is that we've been raised with a more conservative set of values that makes us submit to liberals in authority merely because they have authority.
