What it certainly should do is cause reflection: What has happened to UW?

In the words of Bill O’Reilly: That is what happens when you elect secular progressives to power.

Simple as that.

You are correct. We lived in SA when I was a kid (dad was stationed at Ft Sam), so we went to the Alamo a few times. I’ve been again more recently (in particular when I was in SA for a convention about 4 years ago, when I still lived in AR), and went over to the Alamo with a co-worker who had never been. The Texicans who defended the Alamo were both of Mexican heritage, as well as Americans from all over, and IIRC, sometimes from places in Europe. Each of the defenders who died there is listed, with where they came from. We Texans proudly remember those responsible for the birth of the Republic of Texas. I live in Travis County (named for Wm. B. Travis), I have aunt and uncle who graduated from Crockett HS (as in Davie), sisters and cousins who graduated from James Bowie HS.

I am almost ashamed to admit I was born & raised (& still live) in Wisconsin. It certainly is a commie pinko state. But is it also beginning to look as if most states with a major university suffer from the same problem. I am happy to say that my son graduated from UWM without becoming tainted.

Try growing up and living in such a place for most of your life. I grew up and lived in Ithaca, NY- home to such Ivy League bastions as Cornell University, and was exposed to a lot of what the far left/Commies thought of our country.

It isn’t pretty and has just gotten worse throughout the years. I, thankfully, no longer live in Ithaca. It’s a haven for hippies, disaffected urbanites, and college students of course. Usually when any college town begins to revolve around liberal thought, the economy or opportunities begin to dry up.

When the biggest employer is education, it’s a sure giveaway that liberals will determine the shape and freedoms of any given college town. They’re very good at giving each other promotions, promoting causes like the environment and gay, lesbian, transgendered/transexual rights, and indoctrinating the next generation, but not so good at solving problems such as gangs and poor economic development.

Such environments are good for liberals but not so good for the rest of us who believe in a healthy balance of ideas and approaches to a community’s health and prosperity.

MEXICAN OFFICIAL: I’m afraid not. We took over most of the west coast. You’re still like a thousand miles from the American border.

MEXICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Crap. Do you have any work I can do?

MEXICAN OFFICIAL: Of course not. This is Mexico
