Rush is a genius and those three hours are the best three hours of my day!  This WarEagle gives you a big, Alabama welcome to this Rush fan site.

Well, it will be good to have another Tiger around.  We could use a bit of common sense around here.  I haven't been on a college campus in some time but I hear stories about the communist indoctrination that goes on regularly on campus.

The worst thing is that the kids grades often depend on feeding the professors egos.  I had a business student who had an English class where he was required to turn in several papers writing either from the pro or con side.  Often the pro side was the liberal view and the con side the more conservative.  Every time he wrote a paper from a conservative viewpoint he received a "C" or lower.  At his dad's and my advice be began to write his papers from the most liberal point of view he could. He began to get "A"s and comments written in the margin that said thing like "Thoughtful reasoning" and such....  Hard to believe that really happens but we saw it firsthand.... Such bias is shameful..... but really prevalent......

Well, that is not unique to liberal teachers.  I had a prof at Auburn 26 years ago who graded you on how your views matched his own.  We all knew that we would have to parrot back his views on tests and papers.  We had some of our best discussions and learning sessions outside of class.  But, I had a liberal prof there who encouraged us to disagree with him.  There were all sorts of types back then.  Maybe now, there are just one type....
