Stop Sending Your Kids to College

Thanks to the way social sites have changed our young people’s way of thinking, virtue-signaling is at an all-time high. And suddenly, antisemitism is virtue.

I was in Barack Obama’s class at Columbia. Unlike Obama, who had to apply a second time as a transfer because he didn’t have the stuff, I was invited to apply by the chairman of the English department. I didn’t know it at the time, but when I was at Columbia, I saw the future.

Even then, in a university where people claimed the student body was about half Jewish, it was very chic for kids to wear khaffiyas, which are the head adornments commonly worn by so-called Palestinians. They look a lot like dishrags. One great way to tell flighty, confused, extremely gullible feminist coeds you were a great candidate for fornication was to wear a khaffiya as a scarf.

Kids at Columbia were generally far, far out on the left, and they were full of it. For many, it was all a pose. It tended to fade as job interviews began.

I remember a kid named Elpidio. A California Mexican. He ended up at Yale Law. He was a big social justice warrior. He was all about sticking it to the man. He was admired for it. Years later, I was looking at the Wall Street Journal. There was an article about a game McDonald’s offered to its customers. People won big prizes. McDonald’s didn’t like it when anyone connected to an employee won, because of fraud concerns. A lawyer for McDonald’s was interviewed for the article. This was a guy whose job it was to investigate little people who won prizes, so he could take them away. It was the first time I had seen Elpidio’s name in print. I wonder what Cesar Chavez would have thought of him.

I just looked, and he still has a site where he describes himself as a warrior for diversity. In a horrifying display of cognitive dissonance, his (surely) self-penned blurb on another site says he has worked as in-house counsel for three huge pharmaceutical companies. Everyone on the left admires pharmaceutical companies for their warmth and generosity!

I remember a kid named Rick. He was a big anti-draft martyr. Under President Carter, Uncle Sam had brought back draft registration, and the social justice warriors weren’t having it.

My dorm room was a focal point of social activity on my floor. People used to gather there to drink and sing and play music. One day, Rick was in attendance. As part of his liberal shtick, he shamed people for registering for the draft. He urged them not to do it. While he was in my room, he confided to us that he had registered. He said fear of being arrested would make him less effective as an activist.

I would like to add that Barack Obama was a total nobody. People think that when he was born, the ob/gyn noticed that the sun shone from his rear end, and ever since then, he has been an automatic celebrity everywhere he has gone. Not true. He was a ghost. One person I know thinks he saw his name on a poster somewhere, but I think that’s a false memory. No one else I have talked to remembers him.

There were students who were well-known. Rick and Wally, the musicians. Lou Antonelli, the campus politician. Obama was not a campus name.

He was a big nothing after leaving school. There is a 5-year gap between his graduation and his entry into law school, and during that time, he took nutty leftist jobs like “community organizer,” which means he was a low-level bag man.

It kind of seems like the women I knew, nearly all of whom were twisted and unmarriageable, were more sincere than the men, because I have Googled and learned that a lot of them kept their maiden names and ended up working as leftist academics (I repeat myself). This makes sense, because the men would have pretended to be anything in order to get sex. They had more motivation to put on an act, and men, by their nature, are more conservative than women. I’m sure many of the girls were completely phony, but they weren’t the ones who had to be chameleons in order to fornicate.

Why a Jewish kid from Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn (Columbia stereotype of the time) would wear a head decoration labeling himself as a supporter of an organization of genocidal swine who wanted to torture and kill his entire demographic is beyond me, but kids are stupid, so it happened. It makes me wonder why young Jews in prewar Europe didn’t wear swastikas in order to be popular.

Actually, some did, but they didn’t do it for sex. They did it to stay alive.

I’m thinking about these things because I just saw an article saying the US, under the president women and Jews elected and may elect again, has decided not to involve itself in any Israeli response to Iran’s brutal, failed missile and drone attack.

It made me think of Zechariah, who said God would gather all the nations of the world against Jerusalem. Have we just seen it begin?

Iran needs a crushing, humiliating blow right now. We should help administer it. Instead, we are telling the world we are not going to stick with Israel much longer. They just have to wait a bit, and soon we will be on their side, if not through action, then through passivity. We are encouraging the continued efforts to make the world judenrein.

How different things would be if Trump were still president.
