If these people ever achieved political power, Mike Adams would not have been merely shouted down, he would have been arrested, charged with "crimes against humanity", or some such euphemism for Stalinist repression, and jailed, if not worse. Many of our Universities are no longer a home for the keepers of the flame of Liberty - they are the home of those who seek to extinguish it.

What has happened to America, and where is the outrage?

Umass Amherst is not exactly the creme-de-la-creme of undergraduate academia.

Lowell Tech, was a fine engineering school, Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical. I merged with Lowell State and became a University, much to its detriment.

Kerry And Kennedy, Any surprise this happened in Bastardchusetts?

Imagine one of these college students in his 30s or 40s, filled with this kind of ideological cant. Where will he or she be? What will he or she bring to the society at large? What kind of a world will be created from this kind of behavior and thinking?

They probably imagine themselves being commissars somewhere, making a list of people to be liquidated or organizing book burnings. The more intelligent ones imagine themselves getting paid handsomly by some communist propaganda organ for writing a treatise with an awful title like, I don't know, "Re-educating the Proletariat in the Proper Marxist-Leninist Scientific Perspective on Algebra and Transgenderism."

[Wilhelm Tell]

It's true that even bad schools are limited in how badly they can corrupt mathematical and hard-scientific curricula.

It is ultimately futile to try and falsify mathematics or hard science. Another problem for the collectivists is that people are not yet conditioned enough to tolerate mathematics and science being banned altogether. So they do the next best thing. They dumb down education so much that few people can do simple equations or follow a logical argument. Every once in a while the system fails and someone makes it through school with enough skill to help keep the power grid working or to keep the tractor at the collective farm running. I'm sure such people are watched and their names are on a list...

Sodom by the Bay has been voted (by a wide margin) to be the designated "Terrorist Nuclear Attack Sacrificial Lamb".

Hopefully there will be an angel to lead all the righteous men out (again)......

parents who raise their children with video games, cars, and money then dispense with them to dorms at places like UMass.

what should we expect?

There are a lot of them out there. For various reasons I spent a great deal of time in proximity to a 50 year old leftist. He was bubbling over with rage about Bush, the war in Iraq, Halliburton, the treatment of indians in the 1500s. In short he pretty much agreed with the President of Iran that America was the great Satan. Our discussions started out as respectful but as I defeated more and more of his fiction-based leftist cant with cold hard facts (often mailing sorce documents at night backing up my points) he became more and more deranged.

The last time I saw him after an uneventful evening of work, as we were leaving he went into screaming rant about "fascists". He never showed up for work again.

I believe there are many of these people out there. The sad thing is that they are made miserable be believing they are working for something evil (the west) when in fact the opposite is true.

It is in part because of my repeated exposure to unhinged leftists that I have come more and more to doubt that all of our differences can be worked out by talking (or voting).

When one watches the videos of Palestinian children being told Jews are pigs and drink Arab blood, of them learning to chant "Death to America" in primary school, one realizes sadly that our problems with them (and Israels) will probably not be solved by a better leader or the passage of a little time, or some brilliant diplomatic proposal for the Secretary of State. Things will have to take their course.

Sadly I have come to feel much the same about the hard-left in America.
