National Rankings & Source Berkeley ranks first nationally in the number of graduate programs in the top 10 in their fields. Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4 left-wing liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology" Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way. Here's how Berkeley describes the graduate "Psychology" program: Established in 1965, the program has prepared students for employment in public schools, universities, mental health clinics, and a variety of work settings "Public schools, universities, and mental health clinics", eh? I guess it's true...those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. |

thlink.net... Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4 left-wing liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology" Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way. Ranks 45th in what way? Number of students enrolled? Percentage of successful job placements? Did they compare it to schools whose purpose is equivalent? Some psych programs are primarily aimed at clinical specializations. Others focus more on research. Who ranked Berkeley? |

Stolen from the internet:
A Frank Study on What Makes a Political Liberal You've probably heard about the Berkeley study done with your tax dollars on what makes a political conservative. Here are the factors they identified: * Fear and aggression * Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity * Uncertainty avoidance * Need for cognitive closure * Terror management Funny enough, I had been doing my own study about what makes a political liberal. I think mine was much more efficient, because I traced it to a single factor: * They're f'ing morons As evidence of this finding, just listen to any liberal. Ever read anything from Noam Chomsky? What a dumbass. Ever seen an article in The Nation? You can almost imagine the drool stains on the original copy of whomever wrote it. Heard Michael Moore speak? Than man is fat and ugly! While that doesn't prove or disprove my theory, he's also a nitwit, which goes with my findings. And ever see a bunch of liberals get together for a protest? It's like a whole gaggle of retards! You almost expect, that with that much stupidity in one area, it will collapse upon itself and from a logic black hole, sucking in all sense that gets near it. And then there is liberal Hollywood where people are about as dumb as you can be without forgetting to breathe. It's like that to get into Hollywood you need to take an intelligence test, and they'll only let you in if it comes up negative. Then there are liberal congressmen and women. I've seen them argue on C-SPAN, and they're so moronic I want to hit them with rocks (there's that aggression). Well, I think my study was pretty thorough on what makes a liberal, but what I really want to find is how to cure it. Liberals seems to protect their idiocy by forming some sort of force field of pure stupidity, a force field so strong that logic can't penetrate it. What can penetrate it, though, is a large stick. Such an item is known to the scientific community as a "whomp'n stick". What I want to find out is if by whomp'n a liberal whenever he says something stupid, can I train him away from liberalism through pure pain avoidance. My theory is that it will cause conservatism as defined by the Berkeley study: * Fear and aggression - Fear of a whomp'n * Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity - "Are you going to whomp me or not?" * Uncertainty avoidance - "I'll stay quiet so I don't get whomped." * Need for cognitive closure - "Someone patch up this head wound." * Terror management - "I'll crouch in the corner and be quiet so the scary man doesn't whomp me." So there is the study: will a group of liberal who gets whomped have more converts to conservatism than a control group with no whomp'n. Ahh... screw the control group; I'm going to whomp 'em both. Now all I need is millions in a government grant and a stick fit for whomp'n. Oh, and I'll need liberal volunteers. The Berkeley scientists from the previous study are sure free to help out in this one. WHOMP! WHOMP! |

thlink.net... Stolen from the internet: Feeble retort to many man years of honest work. Figures your hero's "cure" for liberals is violence. These days it seems conservatives are finding violence to be the tool they resort to most frequently. Hurts their brains to do any of that deep thinking or have any manner of patience, it's simpler to just kick some ass and figure out what happened later. Meanwhile, 250 of our kids and countless innocents have paid for it with their lives. F'ing idiots. |

No, don't be a baffoon, 9-11 was not GWB's fault, and he did do the right
thing. Look at the situation in Canada, Ontario where all the liberals and NDP who were bought out by the teachers and the strikes that damaged many students year. A Conservative leader arose and cleaned up years of messes that the liberals created. There were high percentages of students graduating high school who couldn't even read or write. These students then went on to university where international students who also didn't know proper english crushed them in grade scoring. The universities had to tweak down their delivery of material (remove some hard stuff) because the Asian students are near twice as smart as domestic. Let the liberals continue leading the country and guess who will own the west (they already own growing percentages of Canada and add more economic and tangible benefit than any other ethnic group). I for one welcome them and realize that we need them. But I believe the liberals and especially the far left are responsible for the west's low grade teachers, poor economy, inability to compete globally, huge debts. "JohnH" wrote in message ...

Nice deducing there John. Compare PhDs putting man years of work into original research, compilation, theory and conclusion and compare that to a ****ing moron who thinks beating liberals up is the answer. That says more about your utter blindness than perhaps anything I've heard from you. What happened to the scientific method (perhaps you should try refuting the research and conclusions) and how could you possibly endorse people who're promoting violence? More simple answers for simple people. You're just the kind of fool those PhDs are writing about. |
