FIVE MOST RIDICULOUS LEFTIST STATEMENTS MADE BY PROFESSORS

Welcome to Northern Arizona University, where opinions are common and facts aren't. I present to you my list for the top five most ridiculous statements my professors have made in the first three weeks.
1. "When referring to a married couple, saying Mr. before Mrs. is sexist."

2. "White people won't tolerate living with minorities."

3. "Schools reflect and reproduce segregation in this country."

4. "Public schools target minority children to be expelled."

5. "The American witch trials were an agenda by capitalists to keep women out of the workplace."

There is your "higher education" most Americans get duped into believing. Glad to see my $20,000 a year is being put to good use.

WHY "FREE" COLLEGE DOESN'T WORK

I attend Northern Arizona University and I constantly hear the topic of college being free. Barack Obama has made advances towards making community college free for everyone, Is this a good idea? To put it simply, no. At first glance it may seem like a great way of having more U.S. citizens with higher education, but the side effects and consequences, need to be looked into and discussed. Below are some bullet pointed reasons as to why a free college experience wouldn't work.

FREE DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN FREE
When people use the term "free" community college most people don't realize where that money is coming from. People must be informed that taxpayers would be paying for this "free" education. Whether you like it or not every year during tax season, you must fork over more more for government control over education. Look at how well that's working out for American high schools.

PEOPLE DON'T VALUE FREE STUFF WELL
This concept is so simple i'm surprised no one has brought it up. When a product or service is given to you, most people do not value it as much compared to if they bought it. What motivates me to get good grades is not necessarily because I want to learn about the topic, or have my transcripts look nice. I want to get good grades because I simply don't want to pay the money to take the class over again. My attendance was always stellar because I wanted to get the class over with. I guarantee if "free" college becomes a reality we will see an increase in time it takes to graduate, as well as an increase in dropouts. Who cares, it's free right?

INCREASED LIBERAL BIAS 
If there is one thing college has taught me it's that the liberal bias talked about in upper education is alive and well. The experiences I have had with this most people wouldn't even believe. From being called a person of hate if you oppose gay marriage, to being offered extra credit to aid illegal immigrants come across the border. Do we really want more federal money flowing into upper education to brainwash our future generations?

COULD CARSONS RELIGIOUS STANCE HURT HIM?

I attended Dr. Ben Carson's Arizona Rally yesterday and I was impressed but not wowed. Like I have stated before, Ben Carson is a solid candidate who might just be exactly what the Republicans need to beat the Democrats in 2016. He stated his stances on most issues and was very intriguing despite being a soft toned man. I did learn more as to who he was as a person and what he believes America's foundations are. A total of 12,000 people attended which was way more than what was anticipated. This rally however, did bring up a big concern of mine. The separation of church and state.

When I entered the massive room I could hear people talking and slight Christian music over the loudspeaker. I had no problem with this since the music was at an appropriate volume. The rally started with a prayer which was to be expected. After this, a pianist comes on and begins to play Christian music on the piano for about ten minutes. At this point I got the message loud and clear. I consider myself Christian, and try to follow the morals Jesus taught us in my everyday life, but even I just wanted to get to his political points by the end of the singing. I began to fear that his strong faith may distance himself from a majority of the American people who do not consider them self a Christian. I imagined what it would be like if I was a swing, atheist voter who had attended this rally knowing little as to who Dr. Ben Carson was. I would have concerns. I would've like to dive deeper into if he would make decisions purely on Judaeo-Christian principles, or if he would put that aside and look at what is best for the nation. As we all know sometimes those two though principles collide. Democrats will use his strong religious values as ammunition against him. He must state early on, that his faith guides him, but he understands and respects the separation of church and state.

U.S. TO INCREASE DRONE USAGE BY FIFTY PERCENT

The Pentagon plans on increasing the use of drones by fifty percent by the year 2019. War is changing. Within a matter of years, most US soldiers will be looking at a computer screen in order to complete their mission. With that however, comes the risk of cyber attacks being more devastating than ever. With the internet and technology becoming more accessed by everyday people, advanced methods of firewall protection, as well as increased protection against EMP's will become a crucial aspect of military funding.

Is this the right decision? While I have my worries, I consider the use of drones to be a huge advantage in combat. U.S. soldiers' lives will be saved. That alone is worth this increase in drones. We must not expect the price of war to be reduced. Security measures alone will  be a huge cost to the American tax payers. China alone has been able to breakthrough U.S. cyber security measures, North Korea has been able to break American corporations cyber security, soon most everyone in civilized nations will have the capabilities to be able to crack security measures.

Will we be able to keep up with these hackers? Only time will tell. War is changing, and it is up to our government to adapt or pay tremendous consequences.

POLITICAL COMPASS: TAKE THIS TEST!

While attending my leftist, biased university, I have stumbled upon one thing with some actual value. The political compass is an awesome tool in determining where you lie on the political spectrum. All my friends and family have taken it. It also might surprise you as to where you lie on it. I've had self proclaimed Democrats end up being more economically conservative than myself. I've also had close conservative friends be surprisingly liberal. I normally will not promote a specific product like this one but it's free. If you enjoy politics or this site, I must recommend it.

Take the test here.

WHY GUN CONTROL IS A LOSING ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS

Gun control can not be won by Democrats. So therefore, the liberal fantasy of banning all firearms, and crossing the 2nd Amendment off the Bill or Rights like it's a checklist is impossible. Instead, they try to get around the 2nd amendment by banning aspects of a firearm that any law abiding, physiologically sound person should have the right to own. If you disagree they ask if you care about the children of Sandy Hook. This tactic isn't just wrong, it's evil. It is disgusting that they use a tragedy committed by a madman as a talking point to promote their unconstitutional agenda.

When you are debating someone, ask them why they would like to ban an AR15 rifle, when vastly more amounts of murders are committed with handguns? You see where the inconsistencies are within their arguments? If you are looking for reducing firearm deaths ban the gun that kills the most. If you want to ban people from getting thirty round magazines, why not ban people from buying three, ten round magazines as well? Banning the thirty round magazines will add a grand total of about nine seconds of reload time to fire those same thirty rounds for someone familiar with the AR15 platform.

In order to reduce mass shootings we must address the mental health aspect of these individuals, as well as how they had access to these firearms. If a madman is intent on killing as many people as possible, regardless of if he has access to firearms, he will find a way to do it. Why can't laws be created to accommodate both stances? Why not a law that requires you to use a gun safe if you have a mentally unstable person in your home?

For the rise of a tyrannical government, one must first disarm its citizens. Stalin did it, Hitler did it, Mao did it. I am not implying that this is the reason the United States government is pushing gun control, but this is why it is in our Bill of Rights. When you start putting restrictions and limitations on our founding principles, you open up the floodgate for the government to control every aspect of your life.

HILLARY CLINTON WILL FINALLY TESTIFY ABOUT BENGHAZI AND EMAILS

Set the date, its about to begin. Hillary Clinton will finally be testifying on October 22nd in regards to Benghazi and her classified emails. Will this effect Hillary's campaign? That all depends on what they find, and if she can somehow slither her way out of this one. However, in my personal opinion all of this will amount to nothing. Someone in her cabinet will probably take the fall, or she will play dumb because the contents of the emails were never labeled classified. Like the saying goes, "it doesn't batter what the person does, what only matters is what you can prove in court." That's what this is going to turn out to be. A simple tale of "I didn't know", and "That wasn't me". The only people who know the entire story are taking paychecks from her. So why would you to expect the FBI to be able to link anything as directly her fault? Intentionally sending classified information through a unsecured server is a federal crime, but only if you "know" the information you are sending out is classified.
