David Horowitz on indoctrination and terrorism

RS McCain reports on David Horowitz's talk last night at GWU. Horowitz was there to promote his new book, One Party Classroom: How Radical Professors at America's Top Colleges Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy.

Parents and kids considering college might want to upgrade their IQ's on this subject before signing up to pay through the nose for four years of mental abuse which, Horowitz contends, sets our society up to accept tyranny.

Calling leftists "totalitarians," Horowitz told the GWU students: "You are losing your country as we speak.

There are many ways to make a living that don't require years of indoctrination or hemorrhaging family budgets. We just talked about this yesterday and implore you, if you are a parent or young adult in search of a vocation, to read this post and the Anchoress's on the elitist war on honest work.

Just for emphasis, I'll re-post these links to some heretical thinking on the desirability of a four year degree:

Last but far from least, Horowitz believes a terrorist attack on the U.S. is a sure thing:

There is a "100% chance that there will be . . . an attack on U.S. soil," conservative author David Horowitz said Thursday.

In the event of such a terror attack against the American homeland, Horowitz predicted, there will be widespread public outrage against U.S. liberals.

"I don't think leftists will be found hanging from lamp-posts . . . but close. . . ."

I wonder. 9/11 only temporarily roused America from its somnambulism. And now, less than a decade later, with the barbarians still at the gate, we've elected a socialist government that is quite deft at manipulating and diverting outrage.
