‘‘By reneging on their obligation to foster independence and free inquiry, [the]
privileged bastions [of higher education]
have utterly forfeited the moral authority our society invested in them. The accumulation of repulsive and cowardly episodes... will sooner or later—probably sooner—erode pubic trust to the point that the entire higher educational establishment will implode.’’ -

‘‘...Liberals... have grown up in an intellectual environment where the racist/ sexist/ homophobe move is the one winning move, the forensic KO. If you ever watch two liberals argue, you [will soon]
realize that the entire argument is like a judo match, where they circle one another to see who can slap the other one with bigotry first and most devastatingly.’’

‘‘...In today’s political clime..., we actually enshrine incapacity as authentic or democratic or of the people or whatever. We dumb down everything for the emotional benefit of the incapable. The whole thrust in America seems to be to lower standards and punish competence and intelligence.’’ -

‘‘The obstacles to [immigration]
reform are not bogeymen who want to deport everyone, but the disingenuous who prefer to deport no one. The culprits are not mustachioed villains who want to close the border, but the more sophisticated who want it to stay wide open. And the real reactionaries are not those seeking to make ethnicity incidental to legal immigration, but those who want to ensure that it remains absolutely essential.’’ -

‘‘...Millennials are less interested in freedom - which they take as a given - and more interested in order and purpose. They’re looking for a cause to believe in. Their economic futures are already bleak; if this worsens, their desire for a rescuing, guiding leader will become frantic.
‘‘This should sound familiar to everyone and give reason for alarm.’’
