I remember friends of mine going to college to further themselves in education and get a degree. Some lawyers, some engineers and so on. But some went and didn't know what they wanted to do so they got a degree in liberal arts. Back then that was a degree for the undecided, those who didn't know what they wanted, but a least they had the degree and could get a job requiring a degree.
I am not college educated. All my experience is life experience. My views have been formulated by what happens around me as I live my life. But is seems today liberal arts is much more. It is and actual science that teaches people to think freely and questions on everything around them. It is to open the mind to all ways of thinking, to see all sides. So my question is this why do we need a degree in this? Is this not the human nature? To be inquisitive and curious. To ask questions about who, what were and why? What I really think it is, is the indoctrination of people who are confused and have no direction into a liberal mindset. A sort of brainwashing if you will. To get them to think along the lines of the liberal. To be tolerant of all types of people and behavior. To realize that no one is wrong, just everyone is different and to embrace these differences. No matter the moral or ethical stance these differences take.
This is were our country has gone wrong. Our country was based on a belief system. A Judeo, Christian belief system that has moral and ethical foundation. With a set of right behaviors that are accepted and a set of wrong behaviors that are accepted. The problem is the freethinkers want to abolish all of that and make everything rosy and bright. To take these beliefs and dismiss them a irrelevant for today on the premise that they were set over 200 years ago and the world has changed.
They are right the world has changed. The world has changed because no one has challenged these freethinkers these liberal artist, if you may, over the views the are forcing all of us to swallow. We as a nation have basically thrown away our moral and ethical standards to replace them with views of what ever you do is ok if it feels good and so forth. To be tolerant and politically correct. This thinking is going to be our demise. Ancient Greece was once a mighty empire, it's downfall was the age of enlightenment that took hold in its time. They started to throw away their beliefs and embrace all sorts of things. This in turn weakened their empire and caused them to fall. That is what is happening here.
We have taken our belief, our constitution, and thrown them away. We allow for to much melding of beliefs from other societies to our view points of a minority group to over run our society. For example gay marriage, this is un-biblical, unnatural and goes against every belief in our constitution. But it is being forced down our throats. Our school teachers are forcing it down are children's throats, our media is making it a number one issue. But if this is passed what about the people who want polygamy? What does that do for them? It opens the door for them to challenge the laws that ban that practice. What about those who want to marry the family dog? This opens a whole can of worms. How did this start? Liberal arts thats how. Then we have the indoctrination of Islam in our schools. Many schools allow for Muslims children to go pray at certain times. Why is this allowed? My child cannot do this. If my child, a Christian, stated she had to go pray, the teacher would laugh at her and tell her to sit down. But because a child wears a burka to school she is allowed? I don't get it. Were is the ACLU on this? Isn't this the state allowing for a religious practice on public property? Why can't I put up a nativity scene in the park down the street? See were I am going with this?
As a Christian I cannot hate some one for what they do or who they say they are. But that does not mean I have to be tolerant of their behavior. Remember Jesus stated hate the sin, but love the sinner. Liberal arts are destroying this country. We are indoctrinating a whole group of people to be weak minded individuals. With no moral or ethical compass. When we as a nation have no firm foundation as far as beliefs go we will fall and cease to exist. This is what is coming to our nation. Our fall, our conquering by outside entities. This nation will no longer exist as it is if this does not stop. We will be in the history books along with the Greeks, Romans and other fallen empires who got to big and open minded for their britches. Conquered from the inside out.
