that hope is IMO misplaced.... Well, that sure came as a huge surprise. :)

Found a nice skull full of mush today......the epitome of liberal college level indoctrination.....at a Catholic college. and the story goes..... Picked up my daughters 19 year old girl pal for lunch today for a trip to our fav Indian restaurant. One the way....I just can't help myself...I push the thought process of all my kids friends just to see where their minds are....so I asked...who you voting for.....the 1st response was "I can't vote"...and this is true because this girl is not a US citizen...but if she could she says...OBAMA!!!!! I asked why?.....Change...Ideas.....good for the little guy...etc...all the typical lib bull crap.... The fact that this kid chose a Catholic college and actually has a class on the Old Testament...I thought I'd ask about her stance on abortion....I got no answer. I asked about "redistributing the wealth"....I especially used the word SOCIALIST....I was told "I don't care about the money." I asked...What about Daddy's money....he's a scientist with Seagate........I asked...maybe you won't get that car you said he's buying you or that apartment you said they will pay for next year.....Her answer was....oh! I said...I know if my taxes go up I'm just gonna pay less to my little guy employees to break even.... Then I asked the big one....Are you working hard to get good grades or does it not matter what you get out of your college costs and work.....She answers..."I work hard for straight A's" I said...did you know Obama has the idea that in order to create an equality between the result of those working hard to get through college that he's suggesting that those who get A's have to share their GPA's with those that party and barely squeeze by on 2.0's...So that both of you will get a 3.0 or LESS since there would be administrative costs to enact this adjustment.....OK...a bit of bullshit there....but I needed to set the stage....... She says.."I WON'T WORK THEN...I'M NOT WORKING SO THE OTHER GUY GET A BETTER GRADE! well...isn't that special? now for the bonus info.... She can't vote because she's Russian born...has no US citizenship....her Father and Mother RAN from Russia to pursue the American Dream...and got it in spades....absolute success. They ran from Socialist activity and their kid is embracing it. Got to teach them young or they will get "turned" at college level. TH
