I thought I'd give my readers a heads-up on a great website. The website is scholarshippoints.com. The site hosts scholarship drawings on a regular, frequent basis. You enter drawings by "spending" your points. Points are earned by getting codes from different pages of the website, or from their twitter account, different challenges on the site, subscribing to partner sites (i.e. ZoomPanel) or simply by logging in. You can then put your points toward scholarship entries (one point = one entry). It is a really easy way to apply for scholarships (no long forms, essays, or finidng out what your parent's social security numbers are, how much they made last year and where they paid there taxes). The downside of this site is that there are a lot of people who use it, so your odds of winning go down. They also host a lot of offers from credit card companies, so it can be almost like a spam site at times. However, you can apply frequently for scholarships up to $10,000, without listing your experience, major, field of study, GPA, elementary school math average or any of the other hassle that comes with other scholarships. I can say that I never receive spam as a result of using this site, which is more than I can say for other similar sites. I definitely reccommend it for any college student seeking financial aid without debt.

Good morning boys and girls! Are you ready for another lesson on the evils of capitalism? I believe the rest of your day, in order will be "America: an evil empire," "Equality: more important than freedom," and "Sexism: a problem that only affects women."

Sound familiar? I was one of the few fortunate enough to be homeschooled. I never set foot in either a public or private school. Most are not so lucky. From the time most children are 5 or 6 years of age they have already begun to be exposed to indoctrination by those who seem to hate America and every principle it was founded on.

This is fortunate for college professors, because by the time these small children are college age they have lived their lives soaking in lies and hypocrisy, so the far-left radical ideas that the college professors put forth are not so alien to them as they would be to, say, someone who has learned to think for themselves.

In a recent class in the Intro to Sociology course I am taking, my professor began to go over the results of the election broken down into groups based on age, race and sex. Apparently, most young people voted for Obama because "young people are more likely to vote for change," and "young people are less likely to vote based on skin color." Uh-huh. After this astounding revelation, we were given great reason to hope. Since the democrats have control of the executive and legislative branches "they have the opportunity for real change now. Perhaps now, America will become like other industrialized nations, and healthcare will finally be a right. This is how it should be." OK, then! It is interesting that we constantly talk both about cultural relativism (anything a culture does is OK, as long as no one is being harmed) AND the evils of capitalism (isn't that part of culture?)! So apparently, anything is OK, unless you happen to be America and promote freedom, in which case it is bad.

Americans have spoken. They have all collectively said "duuuoooh...?" Seriously, people; Did you think when you went to vote, or did you just have fun pushing the buttons? Let's take a look at a candidate each from the national, state, and local level.

Barack Hussein Obama -- ah, our new president-elect. The man who promises tax cuts for 95% of the population, and free healthcare for all! Has there been a time in American history when such a large percentage of the population was so eager for socialism? Has there been a time when Americans were so ready to give up their freedoms?

Saxby Chambliss -- the member of the infamous Gang of 10, supporter of the Farm Bill, and the even more notorious bailout bill. True, he hasn't taken office yet. No one took the majority, so he and Jim Martin are facing off again for a run-off election. How did he manage to get so many votes? I've yet to determine why a "statement vote" against the GOP must go to the Democrats. Vote for a third party. Tell the two parties in power you are sick of their politics and their self-serving legislation. You're sick of their spending and their new programs and their disregard for the constitution. Buckley managed to get about 3% of the vote.

Patrick Cannon -- sheriff of a small North Georgia county. He ran as a Democrat his first campaign and beat out incumbent sheriff of about 20 years Phillip Street. Under Cannon's watch crime has gone up, spending has gone up, and the sheriff's department has been turned into a mockery and a theocracy. Almost anyone with a drug violation can get off without sentence if they only "accept Jesus into their life." Billboards have been put up around that county that say "Meth Destroys. Jesus Saves." Now, as a Christian I am fully supportive of anyone who wants to spread The Gospel and draw a parallel between what people think they need in their life (drugs) and what they really need (Salvation from Jesus). However, this is not the work of the sheriff's department, and certainly not something to use taxpayers' money for. Speaking of taxpayer's money, the newly re-elected incumbent sheriff came under a bit of fire last year and during the campaign season for spending $11,000 of the sheriff department's budget to buy T-shirts to give to kids in school. No, I did not make that up.

So, what's up, American voter? Why are you electing incompetent buffoons? Why are you ignoring candidates' records? When things get worse, don't complain. You voted these people in.

I have decided to change this blog from a general political blog, to a blog discussing politics in education (i.e. liberal indoctrination via American colleges and universities) and local politics, with the occasional national perspective. I have created two other blogs, because I like things to be organized and categorized.

This has the old posts from this blog and will be the continuation of my conservative political blog.

This is my new blog in which I will discuss religious topics.

I hope you will enjoy the new format. This wasn't just change I could believe in, it was change I needed.

After spending my entire spring semester reading pornography disguised as English Literature a la English Composition II, I wondered if my teacher was merely lazy and incompetent, or if she was promoting an agenda. The small community college I attend is far from being considered liberal; lazy would be a better term. It's not that school officials and teachers want to promote a liberal, politically correct agenda, it's  just that they don't care enough to actually fight it. If the textbook says that you have to use gender-neutral terms so as not to offend feminists, homosexuals, and the habitually offended, they don't question it. They don't examine if it's right or wrong. They accept what they are handed and don't give it a second thought. However, after an entire semester of reading trash with no point accept to accept one group or another (the original publishing date of our textbook was in the 1960s, so the Black civil rights and feminist stories were the main topics). We were also required to read Holiday Season/Love at the End of the Year by Michael Knight. This book had a more recent publishing date, so it promoted a more modern agenda: accept homosexuals, teens and young children exploring sexuality is just fine, breaking up a family is OK if there is a really good reason for it (a reason like 'there isn't a spark anymore'). Of course there had to be minority characters in the book. An old black woman babysat the two kids of a couple who went out to a New Year's Eve party, a Hispanic woman charmed everyone and made all the men lust after her, a homosexual couple with a large age difference struggled to get past obstacles. The book was nothing more than trash and propaganda rolled into on sickening heap. This is what we were required to read. As I said, I'm not sure if my teacher was lazy or was trying to push an agenda on her students. I tend to lean toward the first because of other actions she took in the course. However, whether it was laziness or something else, the fact remains that my classmates and I spent an entire semester learning nothing but how to be politically correct.

I am a college sophomore residing in Georgia. I am very strongly opinionated. I will comment on local politics, college politics, and things that are just bothering me. I am pro-life, pro-gun, pro-homeschool, pro-South, pro-states rights, pro-constitution, pro-family, and very strongly anti-big-government. I am on an anti-English-Literature-courses-being-used-to-advance-propaganda campaign right now. Yes, I do like to use dashes. This is a long enough ramble to qualify as an introduction. Up next: More on English Literature as a disguise.
