Yes, Virginia, there used to be REAL professors.
This reminds me of the beginning of Dickens’s A Christmas Carl, which said that Marley of Scrooge and Marley had been dead for two years, and if you didn’t understand THAT, the rest of the story would make no sense.
There used to be REAL professors, like ME. If you don’t understand THAT, nothing I say here will make sense.
You are probably the only people in the world in a real, old-fashioned seminar with a REAL professor.
READ THE COMMENTS and you will see my students, MY products, asking and answering critical questions in OUR terms. I don’t need to say word here.
Mark, as a real thinker, questioned the whole basis of the blog. Which means he went back to basics. My other students answered him on these basics.
Meanwhile, what is the Ole Prof doing?
I am FASCINATED by looking up the CORRECTIONS our Back Bay Grouch made to my history lesson. For me, the real history he made me go back to is an ADVENTURE. And that, Virginia, is what REAL professors WERE like.
This is FUN! This is ACCOMPLISHMENT! This is why the modern academic bureaucracy could not tolerate me.
As one commenter pointed out in a masterpiece of understatement, “Bob is not Jesus.” It was intended and taken as a compliment. He said that I would die for the truth I teach as Jesus did, but I am NOT Jesus.
But to be a modern academic bureaucrat you must claim to represent “The Way, the Truth, and the Light” if you don’t want to die of starvation. In fact, it is the way to material success and a very fat life-style. You have to be one of the High Priests who lived well and sent Jesus to the Cross.
Coming down from that High Drama, there is Old Professor Bob, like old bumbling Peter, trying to follow along the best he can. I like to think that that is what Jesus meant when he made the joke about Peter being the Rock on which he built his church.
Not the Old Testament. Not self-torture. Not a Final Truth. Just doing your best to be a good person.
THAT church will never teach error. But NOT because it has all Truth already in hand, as Pope and Puritan claim to. I know a lot of sincere Christians whose faith would COLLAPSE if evolution turned out to be TRUE.
Our modern established faith, Political Correctness, has made you think of a professor as someone who the Truth in hand. What he calls a seminar is obedience training.
As seminar leader, I am first among equals. I do not intend to be the ONLY one who goes back to basics, as Mark did, or who explains the basics, or the one who must give deserved compliments to those who DO all these good things. I steer YOU to do these things and if I have to do them, it is with a sigh. It means I have not done MY job in getting you to use what I have spent my life obtaining, a WAY of thinking.
So while you are extending on what I have taught, I am off chasing a fascinating correction. Yum-yum! More knowledge, what Odin/Wotan hung on Yggsdradil to obtain and lost an eye for!
I HUNGER for knowledge, and it tastes GOOD! I LOVE corrections if they are not just intended to be a stumbling block, a way to Miss the Point.
The modern academic bureaucracy or any other High Priesthood cannot STAND truth, especially truths that collide with their Wordist Final Truth. They kill people for that. Thy kill EACH OTHER for that.
Why?
Because Absolute Truths collide. The truth CONVERGES, on the Cross and on the World Tree and in a real seminar.
Ole Prof Bob has had his say. Now I want to get a biography of Nathaniel Pierce Banks, the Speaker of the House elected in 1855.that The Grouch made me find. I hunger for truth.
Yes, Virginia, that is what real professors used to be all about.

I may be mistaken but what I think Bob is saying is that we should welcome more immigrants? Well, not really “welcome” but realize that they are actually a benefit for us. This acts as a sort of economic price curve. As the supply of non-whites goes up, the tolerance for them goes down. Similar to when prices go up and the demand goes down.
The globalists realize this too. That is why every effort will be made to limit free speech in this country. But, what if this fails them too? What if limiting free speech only forces some of our more radical brethren to tone down their rhetoric? This would remove one of our enemies favorite weapons; using the nutzis as an example of who we are.
After all, look at Europe. Europe’s Nationalist parties are much more influential than us and they actually have police state regulations.
So bottom line, the multicultural empire is destined to fail, we just need to make sure we present a viable alternative when it happens.
So it would seem we would need to figure out what that alternative looks like?
Thanks, Grouch!

“When the Republicans in 1854 and took over the House of Representatives in 1855, the Whig Party was simply FORGOTTEN.”
This incorrect. The 1854 poll returned a divided Congress: 84 Dems, 62 Americans; 60 Whigs and 46 Reps.The 1856 election produced a solid Dem majority: 132 Dems, 90 Reps, 14 Americans and 1 independent. By 1858 the Reps attained a plurality, but not a majority. There were 116 Reps to 83 Dems, 19 Oppositions, 8 Anti-Lecompton Dems, 7 Ind. Dems and 5 Americans.
In 1860 the House sat 108 Reps, 8 fewer than in the previous Congress, but the succession of Southern states reduced the other parties to a true minority status with 44 Dems, 30 Unionists and 1 Ind. In 1862 Rep support further eroded. The tally was 86 Reps, 72 Dems 25 Unionists and 2 Ind. The Reps were again a plurality only.
In 1864 the Reps gained a lopsided majority which lasted until 1870 when they held the House but by a balanced margin: 136 Reps, 103 Dems and 3 Ind. The six year reign of the Radicals was over. The reps gained a strong victory in 1872 with Grant at the head of the ticket: 199 to 88 with 5 Inds. In 1874 the House fell to the Democrats:182 Dems, 103 Reps and 8 Inds.
The 1850s was a period of political division as varying politicians jockeyed to find a stable party divide. The War produced it and what was in essence a 6 to 10 year reign of radical terror. After that the parties were competitive with the Republicans doing better.
The thrust of your argument is right, if not all the details. My apology for being a bit of a footnote guy but inattention to detail gives opponents an opening to deride on side issues while avoiding the important points.
ME:
This is the sort of correction that is CRITICAL!
I’ll look all this up, but this is not nitpicking, it is IMPORTANT to
my descriptions of history!
THANK YOU!
Many Thanks
