Lt. Col. Allen West (townhall.com)
“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” President Ronald Reagan; “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell
. . ."The wise words of Israel's King Solomon in Proverbs 22:6(NIV) say, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.”
"The intellectual wasteland we see on our college campuses is ultimately the fault of us, adults. We came up with dumb ideas like participation trophies and now want to eliminate the SAT/ACT and not recognize valedictorians and salutatorians. We are telling young people in America that excellence is bad and reward them for being a Know Nothing. My Dad had a simple challenge for me, “Find what the standard is, and exceed it.” We are setting the bar so very low for this young generation. Appeasing and acquiescing to their whims ain't a recipe for their success.
"My Dad never went to college, but he was one of the wisest and smartest men I have ever known. My Mom did attend college, and she was the ultimate disciplinarian. They understood Proverbs 22:6. Dr. Angela Graham-West and I have used that same model to train our daughters.
"Ya can't Live Free being a Know Nothing; that means you are an intellectual slave in a time of deceit where telling the truth is a revolutionary act. One that I will continue to do at every college campus where I am invited … or anywhere.
"Steadfast and Loyal."
