The American Standard Bearer

If your planning to take out a second mortgage on your home to send your kid to college, you might want to reconsider. College in America just aint what it used to be.

Consider the dunces behind a minor furor at Orange Coast College in California. Last week, we reported that some newly elected student trustees, who ran for office wearing military style berets (how old school!), tried to expunge the Pledge of Allegiance from their meetings. Idiot ring-leader Jason Bell claimed that, as an athiest and socialist (they go together like a toothbrush and toothpaste), the “under God” portion of the pledge had been designed to “destroy (his) ideology.” Of course, he said this without the slightest concern for any ideologies he himself might be destroying in the process.

Now, after a rancorous debate that took place in the OCC faculty lounge in which the American flag was narrowly returned to it’s position of honor, it turns out that Bell may have been chosen as spokesperson because he was the brightest of the bunch. One of Bell’s beret-clad comrades, Coyotl Tezcatlipoca, less-than-brilliantly observed of the American flag, “That represents genocide to me, and I’m not going to pledge allegiance.” Like so many on the intellectually lazy left, these OCC student trustees want to dredge up the sins of the past to justify their own irrational hatred and paranoia.
Apparently, Tezcatlipoca (say that three times fast) is blissfully unaware that thousands upon thousands of Americans have sacrificed their lives to end the real genocides of recent history including but not limited to those performed by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Bosnia, Rwanda and Iraq.
