My sense from reading and hearing you is that moral relativism and political correctness on college campuses and elsewhere have changed your politics. Things like, say, someone getting up on a college campus and saying America was no better than Putin’s Russia. I assume that would drive you around the bend if a liberal college professor did that. Am I wrong?
Well, I’ve been at meetings when people have talked in the past, like when George W. Bush was elected, about a theocon conspiracy at work. I would say, “Are you delusional?”
OK, but what do you make of the president saying we were no better than Putin’s Russia?
You know, I was traveling.
He has said this several times. Bill O’Reilly called Putin a killer, and Trump said we were no better. You are someone who talks about American greatness.
You know, Isaac, I didn’t see this. I’d love to have seen it.
Did you see his comments at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he made a joke about Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Wow. That is some serious mental gymnastics to justify voting for the rich white guy under the cloak of "liberals are the real villains of America." I feel dumber for having read it.
[Bauerlein] is also the author of the 2008 book, The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or, Don't Trust Anyone Under 30)
Bauerlein explains how his experience as a teacher led to his writing of The Dumbest Generation:
"Because in my limited experience as a teacher, I’ve noticed in the last 10 years that students are no less intelligent, no less ambitious but there are two big differences: Reading habits have slipped, along with general knowledge. You can quote me on this: You guys don’t know anything.
It's almost as if these arrogant bratty kids came to school expecting to learn something.
A religious Catholic, Bauerlein once wrote a short piece about how disturbed he was about swearing, which included the line, “When we hear obscenities in closed public places, we should recognize conscience as an ally against degradation.”
Bauerlein supported Trump’s candidacy, hailing it as a response to political correctness, which he views as immensely damaging to American society
That is some bubble he is in
LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Do you see anything in the moderation queue?

I was just going to quote that. Talk about having one's head up one's ass FFS.

Be careful- they can suck the intelligence right out of you.
Somebody get this guy on one of those reality shows because he can tap dance around a question with the best of them
The Farce is strong in this one.
Oh my:
It's almost as if these arrogant bratty kids came to school expecting to learn something.
How the fuck does he reconcile those two beliefs?
My fave from the interviewer : The tone seemed a little different than Whitman….
