George Mason University is front and center these days as they have ascended to that most exalted place in basketball called the Final Four. Has anyone ever heard of GMU?
If you ask any body that watches the sport, they will all say these guys are a Cinderella outfit. How they got this far is some kind of miracle. This was not suppose to happen. How will they do in their next contest remains to be seen. In any event, George Mason University has arrived.
Not knowing anything about this university, I decided to find out just what the heck they are about, so I Goolged them. I decided that the perfect bench mark of any university was the level of hatred for George Bush. I wanted to find out if they were any different from all the rest.
As it is common practice for all university elites to hate Bush and everything that he has done for the past five years, I figured putting in George's name and rank along with the name George Mason would yield something of interest and I was not disappointed. The result showed they are among the Marxist millions that now inhabit most universities and colleges in this country.
The page that sprang up was the History News Network, and the article that was presented was an unscientific poll, or survey of history professors, asking the question how history would see George Bush. The results weren't much of a mystery. Actually it would be like asking a liberal Democrat if he thought power and greed were necessary to become a liberal? Well dah!!
The George Mason History Department sent out surveys to an unknown number of university history departments and 415 history professors responded. The survey called them historians, but we all know, wink wink, who they really are. They asked whether history would find good things or bad things to say about the 43 President. Guess what the results were. It's rocket science for sure.
Who would have ever thought so many history professors would find our President a complete failure. Out of the 415 respondents, 338 considered George and his administration a complete failure, 81%, and 77 thought he had succeeded, 19%. GMU's history department noted that several of the respondents, in the plus column, prefaced their decision by saying that Bush succeeded only in causing a disaster for the rest of us.
It's hard to believe GMU could find some many professionals so unhappy with the way the country is going. I mean with low unemployment, GDP higher than it has been in the last three years, the stock market still over 11,000, wage increases for blue collar and professionals at 3.5% and higher, capital expenditures by the largest corporations at a two year high, university students have a surplus of employers on campus. The future is looks great!
Now why would all of these people, of such elevated intellect, find so much wrong with how the country is being run? They are all getting good salaries and they don't have to take any responsibility for anything they do or say, and they certainly haven't done anything for society that would be considered community. So why so much bitterness? Why so much dislike for success? Could it be they hate success?
Maybe they hate capitalism. Democracy. Freedom of choice, religion and speech. Maybe it isn't so much that they hate these things in themselves, maybe they just think that people shouldn't have these rights and freedoms. They would be so much better off under a different system of government where everything is shared and where everyone is no better than anyone else, except for the professors that is.
I guess George Mason is just one more of many universities that has a liberal agenda, they have to hate everything that they are not and can never be.
