Please read my book as a call for revolution and not just another critique of academia. We have to get on those campuses we pay for and hammer some theses on the doors of the established religion of Political Correctness right in on its home turf.

Any of us can do it and I’m here to help out.

SF Book Discussion II – Why Johnny Can’t Think … Robert W. Whitaker
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=179539

I am here in Eastern Europe running my usual introductory fever, I always got sick in Latin America, Africa, Asia, you name it.

But I make as much sense when I’m sick as I do when I’m well.

As I said before, if you read Joe Sobran’s Foreword and my first chapter you will discover that for me today’s professors are just one more version of the same old thing. Neocons are professors or wannabe professors, so they talk about professors with respect.

But as the Internet grows, we are going to have a generation that has none of the respect and deference professors depend on.

In earlier days, you had to go to the college library. But you can get all that on the Internet. We are exactly in the position of the literate European middle class when the day of Gutenberg dawned, and the Bible was no longer the monopoly of the clerics.

Can anybody expand on this or just make some random points about it?

The bottom line is that faculties can no longer claim to be special. They can not say that we peasants have the right to come on our own campuses and debate them with their permission.

It is time for us to invade them on their home ground.

As I peruse the web and listen to news stories, it is obvious that more and more people are becoming aware that things are not all kosher at State U. There are several groups out there who represent students who fall victim to professorial bullying on campuses all across the country.

Political Correctness, like any form of hate-driven insanity, will always snowball. The reason for that is very simple. It is the opposite form of what George H. W. Bush called Reagan’s “Voodoo Economics.” In Reagan’s plan, the more people could be freed up from taxes and regulation to create wealth, the more opportunity would be provided for others to follow them into a cycle of productivity. As he often said, “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

As in anything, the most gifted, strong, and dedicated will lead the way. As they break the ice, those less gifted, strong, and dedicated can then push through.

The same principle works in regard to the destructiveness of the left in their vampirism. You get the strongest and most obnoxious ones demanding radical changes that are shocking to the majority. As people give in, that breaks the ice so that the less bold parasites can join in the looting. Just as a healthy body can fight off disease, one that becomes weakened by it falls victim to a host of problems.

Once the train is rolling, it is too hard to stop. That is a blessing, as it means that the system will have to crash. The leaders of the pack may realize this, and want to back off the throttle, but the followers who are less intelligent as well as less gifted don’t see the big picture. It is their time, and there is no way in hell anyone is going to stop them. They will push things past the breaking point.

A matador in a bullfight is trained to let the bull defeat himself. When a bull sees red, he can’t control himself. When a Red sees power within his grasp, he can’t control himself.

Why Johnny Can’t Think is a training manual for matadors.

I am informed that after all my pleas to go to

READBOB.COM

and at least thank my book team, and after dedicating the book to them, WOL readers are doing nothing at all for it.

They don’t go to

READBOB.Com

It’s too much trouble.

Gee, thanks, gang. That really makes me feel like all this work and cost is worth while, you know?

You may have gotten the impression from “I Got an F in Fear101″ below that people offered to take pay cuts to work for me because I was easy on them or I was too nice to fire them.

I was known for “letting people go” as the euphemism for firing them now goes. But I talked to them first and tried to be sure they had another job before I let them go.

Something that is easy to forget is that I was the one who made the mistake in hiring them in the first place. I was supposed to the decision-maker, so they were my responsibility.

The people I want are the ones I don’t “delegate authority” to. I DUMP responsibility on them. Good people absolutely glory in that. I have to stop THEM from working themselves to death.

I try not to hire people who don’t want that. If they fail, it’s largely my fault for making a bad choice, and I was hired to make exactly that kind of choice.

Remember the members of my book team work their butts off and don’t get anything for it, not even people dropping by

READBOB.COM

and thanking them.

But, despite the fact they don’t get paid, it is still very hard to get on my inner team. One man offered to help me with the drafting and editing. I gave him an assignment and told him I wanted it back in a week, “We’re not big on excuses.”

That’s an understatement.

He got it back to me in exactly a week. It was a good job, but more important for a new man, it was on my desk, or on my computer, on time with no urging.

I told him that if it hadn’t been there, he would have been out, “You are supposed to push ME, not the other way around.”

So I am just as hard on people whose only reward is to work for the cause as I am on paid employees.

So I fired a lot of people in my career. But the good ones just kept coming.

Someone posted the following on Stormfront. He is right:

“Sales of Why Johnny Can’t Think (Amazon.com Sales Rank: 794) has zoomed past some of our enemies’ books such as:”

A long list follows, including one book by Alan Dershowitz

From nowhere, we’re making a start!

At the end of his list, he adds:

“Bob’s book wasn’t touched by any major publisher yet is outselling books loved by the left. Can’t you picture them squirming? Make them squirm some more and have a good laugh at the same time.”

He’s right about that, too.

Please go to readbob.com and help me out.

I am a lousy diplomat. That’s why I was a staffer and ghosted books.

My forte is plain talk. People say they like that, but in the real world they hate it and they don’t care what a politician does as long as he remembers their name and says what they want to hear.

Then they bitch about the politicians they elect.

The e-mail I sent out below is an example of what one should not do if he has spent a lifetime fighting side by side with people and doing things for their cause and finally needs the help he has earned.

I have X in the place of each name. Two of them are national columnists and you would recognize at least one of the other names immediately. But I have been on the road for a month, and gotten nothing for it. I am exhausted and pissed, and that is what my Blog is for.

My WOL readers have been just as bad.

X and X,

I begged you for addresses to send FREE books to you in Stormfront and you ignored me. But you are not alone.

I begged two people I have worked with for years, X and X for help. I put X in my 1982 anthology for St. Martin’s Press and he uses my columns in every issue of X. I put X in that anthology when he was a private school teacher here in South Carolina.

You can see what right-wing “contacts” are worth in the letter I sent to X and X below:

X and X,

I have a great team of young people working on the book and a young genius for a webmaster. But they keep asking me about my “contacts.”

I want to send him X’s e-mails to show them what my “contacts” are worth. But X is the best. He at least bothers to reply to me.

X, can I do that?

(Another) X hasn’t mentioned me or even contacted me on the book.

I don’t know if I am up to “begging” X, as X recommended.

I can’t even get their own addresses out of people I have done favors for and who asked me for book copies.

I am now starting an op-ed factory with some excellent young writers. Meanwhile the old farts talk to each other abut “reaching young people.”

It’s a bit embarrassing for me, but it is a good lesson for the young people who are coming to me for leadership. One asked me if there was a support network for young people on the right. My answer was a simple: “No.” They’re busy talking to each other and being Big Guys and being busy, busy, busy.

Bob (Whitaker)

Please, have mercy on an a old man! My latest book, “Why Johnny Can’t Think, America’s Professor-Priesthood,” does NOT “show there is leftist bias on campus.”

I recently got some clippings from two different female relatives that “say what you said,” that there is a leftist bias on college campuses.”

No, I did NOT “say that there is a leftist bias on campus.” No, Einstein did NOT “say that the speed of light is real fast,” No, Isaac Newton did NOT “say there is something called gravity.”

What would Einstein have done if someone had said “I think light moves real slow. You got to prove light moves fast.” He would have called the loony bin. What would Isaac Newton have done if somebody said, “There ain’t no such thing as gravity.” He would have acted like the guy didn’t exist and then hit him in the face if the fellow got in his way.

I do not try to prove that light moves real fast, or that gravity exists or that college campuses have a fanatical leftist bias. If you actually open the pages of “Why Johnny Can’t Think,” you will find that I say that that is the kind of thing dumbass respectable conservatives dedicate books to, not intelligent people.

Every sane person knows that light moves fast. Every sane person knows there is such a thing as gravity. Every sane person know that colleges are fanatically biased to the left.

PLEASE don’t insult me by saying I am trying to prove any of those things. Please don’t send me forwards and news paper clippings to show how morons are trying to prove these things.

No intelligent person will spend one minute “saying what you said, that there is a leftist bias on college campuses.”

If you waste time debating that, you are too much of a fool to get any real point made.

If you want to see how to cover that whole argument in two minutes, you will want to READ “Why Johnny Can’t Think.”
