Time to end the sloth on campus

Liberals like to whine about the importance of higher education yet they do zero to make it affordable. The current system of sloth and wasteful social science research
is pricing college out of affordability.

Let us end the pretense that Social science has value. Most of these articles are in irrelevant journals that less then one hundred eggheads read. Society gets zero value or benefit from Chomsky or Norman Finkelstein latest stupidity. Most of these programs are jobs programs for Bolsheviks.

Require all professors in the social sciences teach a minimum of six classes or three hundred students. The evaluation of educators should be entirely on the ability to educate.

The current 64 credit liberal arts ciriculm should be cut to 39 with the balance remaining in business classes. When the college graduates leave and apply for a job they can have a clue. Marketing 1001 is more relevant to graduates then Marxist diatribes about mating rituals of some obscure group living in the rainforrest.

Accademia is out of touch with the American people. It is time that it be held up like any other business. If their costs are out of control no more student loans.

Mr Beak - I noticed on another blog that you refer to me (Mark Elf) as a communist and you say that my favourite author is Israel Shamir. Even a casual reading of my blog would show that I cannot stand Israel Shamir. I believe Shamir to be a fascist and therefore a subscriber to the same family of ideas to which zionism belongs. I think you have either confused Shamir with Israel Shahak or you have made the allegation up from scratch. And I don't know where you got the notion that I am a communist. Regarding whether I am Jewish or not, Jewishness is defined by either religious belief or by descent, not by ones willingness to lie for racist war criminals.

If you're relying on the rantings of a Miami based zionist who runs with names like Ibrahim and "A real Jew" then you're bound to confuse yourself. Try reading the blog for yourself and don't just follow what you see as tribal loyalties or where you think the power lies (in more ways than one). Develop a critical faculty for yourself. Jews have been famous for that in the past and some are now.

Excuse Me Elf.

I do read your fairy tale based blog and you certainly are a Communist and not a Jew in any description. As far as tribal loyalties comrade try loosing the death cult BS. Lets see good Jooos like Rosenberg who gave the A Bomb to Stalin as he was preparing to send our bretheren to the Gulag.

Post like Israel's Dr Mengele are real eyeop[eners. Then there are your fairy tales about Jooooos not being ethnicaly cleansed from Arab lands. Funny, I see their paperwork
daily and speak with Yemenites, Syrians, Iraqis and Egyptian Jooooos who say you are full of shit.

Then there is your obsession with fake indigenous people Pseudostinians. There is no such thing as a Pseudostinian . Read that famous Zionist Source the PLO Charter terms Arab unity Palestinian Arab are all over the place.

Arabs are not indigenous to Israel
and a range of other real estate. They have practiced Islamo colonialismm for 1300 years and placed a series of Jim Crow laws on a wide variety of people and those were the lucky ones. The others were made slaves or exterminated. You can read these accounts on line if you like Zoroastrian, Hindoooooo, Bhoooooodist, Jooooooo, Asssssyrian, Yezidi, Coptttttic, Maronite are just a partial list there.

No Jooooooos preceded the Islamic invasions and Arabs allready have 22 JUdenrein states.Muslims are ethnicaly cleansing Egypt, Syria , Pakistan and Bangladesh where Christians are fleeing for their lives Comrade. Do not try an gloss that over because my coworkers and I see the paper daily.

Your fact free censored fairy tale blog provides cover for Antisemites
who play word game with Jooooooo and Zionist. Most familiar was your deranged ( Communist) accolyte
follower who loves to talk about Neocon conspiracies and play Holocaust minimization games. Mark the Recididoofus is the stupidest person on the web. Lets see JOOOOS stole the Holocaust and POpe John Paul killed millions but he failed to name one. He did turn on you over the Taschell matter. You weren't progay enough so for all your Commie crapola your goooood joooooo routine you became expendible. He also loves to post Simon Jones who is slightly stupider then you. "Joooos created pollution and Gays are the chosen people and the protocols of the Elders of Zion refer to Neocons. Oh another thing oh deranged one that great Conservative denounced your Neocon theory and talk that Israel had anything to do with the Iraq war as anti semitic.

Speaking of Comedic then there is the delusional Lennins Tomb blog you contribute to. Excuse me I am not a Commmunist I just act like one smell like one and am a contributor to a blog that toes the party line. Sorry Elf I come from NYC and I deal with Commie traitors like yourself Chomsky, Norman Finklestein, Michael Lerner
daily in Union Square.

So let me know when and where you want to play the commie (Zinn) indict a nation by its hisory game with Islam. The fact is the Marxist game becomes comical when applied on Marx and Islam .

The most comedic moment occured when a follower of your friend the Recidooofus tried to play the Native American game with a poster named Warren who is a Native American.

Spare yourself the humiliation comrade and never return. Unlike you we do not need to censor a single post. The other readers will spank your Commie crapola around quite eaily. Resume your goooood Jooooooooo act for the Antisemites of the far left. Steppin Fechit would bo sooooo proud of you.

For the record Joooooos and Christians frome Moooooslim countries often take Arabic versions of biblical names. Thus Ibrahim Yoooooooosef is a Copt from Egypt and I talk to him weekly. I also talk with Palestinian Christians in Jersey who flee here in droves. They also have Moooooslim sounding names but apparently you do not have any proficiency in Semitic languages or knowlege of local customs.

So continue with your posts like Israel's Dr Mengele. Also continue
with your promotion of attempts to silence the rights of Zionists to free speech. How many fake Jennin Massacresdoes it take to add up to 100,000,000 and climbing. Free speech for Comunists vwho put Mooooslims on Cattle Cars along with other nationalities is par for your illogic.

Don't call us Comrade we have seen the game before. As Reagan said scratch a Commie and smell the fear.What are you afraid of little
man ?

Joe McCarthy was too soft on Communism for my tastes.

beakerkin said...

B Calling actual Communists by name is not McCarthyism. The Recidoofus and Mark Elf are actual Communists.

The waste of sperm known as Mark Elf is a traitor and is a prime contributor to Lennins Tomb. The question I might ask you is why are you so cavalier about treasonous hatemongers in your midsts.

I am and always will be a Cold Warrior . Anti Communist moderates know the genuine evil that Communism is.

By the way if you read the Vennona Cables McCarthy was right.

I got this one.

A.) Valerie Plame was not a covert agent. She hasn't been on a NOC list since the early 1990s, when her identity was publicly revealed to the Russians by Cuban intelligence.

B.) A bipartisan Senate Intelligence commitee found thw Joe Wilson lied.

C.) Joe Wilson was covertly sent to Niger by the CIA to investigate Iraq's seeking yellow cake uranium from them. He reported to the CIA that Iraq indeed was seeking uranium but was rebuffed. Wilson then wrote an article in the New York Times trying to call President Bush a liar for citing British intel on Iraq seeking uranium in Africa (which, by the way, is bigger than Niger, and the Brits list 3 other African countries that Iraq shooped for uranium in).

But, in Joe Wilson's zeal for partisan hackery, he forgot one thing - he was doing covert intel work for the CIA when he blabbed off to the NYT.

Guess who's being investigated?

Since you're so "informed," why not tell us why leftist reporter Judith Miller was put in jail, and the federal prosecutor has maintained that Karl Rove is not the subject of his investigation?

When this opens up, y'all are gonna go cry in the car.

beak,

Although I agree with some of your comments, I disagree with your conclusions. I don't think more business courses are the answer to the "university problem".

First off, it's Academia's JOB to be "out of touch with the American people". And it's not so much that they're "out of touch" so much as it is being "out of touch in the WRONG DIRECTION" that is today's problem.

Academics SHOULD be researching into the "PAST" and conducting scholarly research of the PAST, documenting the "old tried and true", and teaching these hard-learned lessons to kids.

Instead they are on the "vanguard" of research and development into FUTURE technologies and developing utopian ideals that are pulling our society into the "risky unknowns" of progressive idealism based upon a combination of Marxism and a 1950's era neo-Freudianist philosophy of positive law (we've got to undo your parents repressive social "programming" and "free" your mind.) Academics are no longer "scholars" with links to the past so much as they are "researchers" into the societies of today for the purpose of "building a better tomorrow."

Secondly, instead of learning to "know others" through diversity, etc., kids in college should be learning to "know themselves". For the former will be impossible to survey and ever completely "know" due to the infinite (6+ BILLION) varieties of human expression on the planet, whereas the singular latter (yourself) is inherently "knowable" and can be used as a touchstone for "understanding" others and how and why they differ from the "known standard".

Kids will be confronted with "diversity" of human experience throughout their entire lives. They'll need to have and understand (be able to verbally express) a "touchstone" for investigating human nature before they'll ever be able to comprehend it's infinite "diversity" of forms.

And there is nothing terribly upsetting about studying the "social sciences" except that they are NOT really "sciences" as much as they serve to document contemporary social "probability distributions". In other words, the modern social sciences can't provide hard answers to questions so much as they provide snapshots of Gaussian population distributions based upon a "moving" and therefore "relative" datapoint... the population under study and what constitutes "common sense" for that population at that particular time.

In conclusion, we need Academia to be "untimely"... much as Nietzsche's "Untimely Meditations" were. But these meditations need to be focused upon, and grounded in, the "known past", not the "undiscovered country" of the future.

Yeah yeah, Valerie Plame was Chuck Barris' spotter on sniper assignments between tapings of the Gong Show.

Her identity and employment was common knowledge for years. She hasn't been a covert operative in almost a decade. She's married to the former ambassador to Iraq, for crying out loud. Her use of CIA funds to make a political donation to AL Gore in 2000 through a CIA dummy front company was unethical and illegal however.

Sorry B, you haven't unraveled this mystery yet. The crimes being investigated aren't the crimes that will be prosecuted.

You're gonna cry in the car.

I am absolutely thrilled that you identify with the right wing, and choose to publicly align yourself with their ideology while portraying your opinion. This is what makes America truly great. In this, you are doing an immeasurable favor to the left by completely discrediting right wing point of view by putting forth blatantly ignorant and rhetorically poorly formed arguments, rife with spelling and grammatical errors. Thank you thank you, THANK YOU. Please continue to post your rants in this space, and please continue to publicly declare your support for right wing ideas.

Of course you may (and probably will) reply to this post, shooting me down and declaring me to be a Communist, or some other form of baseless hyperbole. Please know that I will never read this post again (as if you care), and that your counterpoint will go completely unheard.

Yours, in Freedom of Speech,

-Andrew
