Brainwashing In Universities

I just finished watching Brainwashing 101, a "film showing how universities use tools such as "speech codes" to force political [liberal] views upon students".

You can watch it free here.


One of the things that caught my attention was a character in the film. Sukhmani Singh Khalsa pictured below.


Sukhmani Singh Khalsa

The first impression one would get from seeing Sukhmani would be to assume that he is a Muslim and liberal in his beliefs, given the similarities between his headgear (turban) and that of the Taliban of Afghanistan. The fact of the matter is that he is a Sikh and conservative. Sikh’s are not Muslims and have had a rather violent history with Muslims.

Working as an Engineer at a wireless company and going to UCSD gives me the opportunity to interact with a lot of Sikhs. My officemate, who comes from a Sikh family, tells me that most people you meet in this country who have turbans are not Muslims, but Sikhs.

The moral of the story is that the next time you meet someone wearing a turban don't assume that he is Muslim. And, as the movie demonstrates, don't assume that he is liberal either.

    I actually heard something about this a while back, maybe 8 months to a year ago. It was about how a lot of universities brainwashed student toward liberal views. It was also saying how the teacher would not be open-minded to students with conservative views or a conservative approach. ;)

John Kerry And Gay Marriage

With the recent resignation of Democrat New Jersey governor, announcing his homosexual affair , and the recent California Supreme Court decision voiding homosexual certificates I thought it a good time to discuss Presidential Candidate John Kerry's view on homosexual marriage. A few months ago there was a bill going through the senate that would have created a constitutional ammendment defining marriage as only between a man and a women. Kerry used the states right argument to argue against it. Arguing that we should let the states decide instead of forcing at the federal level. That's odd he would use that argument because when a bill came through the senate pushed through by Bill Clinton, called the Defense of Marriage Act, arguing for the exact same thing, Kerry voted against it . A bill that was passed with 85% of the senate voting in favor of it, with both Democrats and Republicans voting for it. However Kerry, being the extreme liberal that he is, voted against it. In c...

The Importance Of Kerry's Cambodia Claim

Image
As I have posted on this blog before , The Swift Boat Vets against Kerry have already caught Kerry in at least one lie; the claim that he was in Cambodia on Christmas of 1968. Joshua Muravchik, writing in the Washington Post explains why that lie is so significant, he writes , After his discharge, Kerry became the leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). Once, he presented to Congress the accounts by his VVAW comrades of having "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires . . . to human genitals . . . razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan . . . poisoned foodstocks." Later it was shown that many of the stories on which Kerry based this testimony were false, some told by impostors who had stolen the identities of real GIs, but Kerry himself was not implicated in the fraud. And his own over-the-top generalization that such "crimes [were] committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command...

Vietnam Boomerang

The issue here, as I have heard it raised, is was he present and active on duty in Alabama at the times he was supposed to be. . . . Just because you get an honorable discharge does not in fact answer that question. ----John Kerry, questioning President Bush's military-service record, February 8, 2004. So begins an article by the Wall Street Journal demonstrating how John Kerry brought the recent criticism by swift boat vets upon himself. The article states, A good rule in politics is that anyone who picks a fight ought to be prepared to finish it. But having first questioned Mr. Bush's war service, and then made Vietnam the core of his own campaign for President, Mr. Kerry now cries No mas ! because other Vietnam vets are assailing his behavior before and after that war. And, by the way, Mr. Bush is supposedly honor bound to repudiate them. What did Mr. Kerry expect, anyway? That claiming to be a hero himself while accusing other veterans of "war crimes"--as he did...
