Seth Grossman July 20 Radio Message: Horrible ‘Random’ Shooting Of Infant In Northeast Philly, Community College Got ‘Woke’ After Peter Mora Retired, Long Trump Speech. Did Army Engineers Know About Gaza Surfers When They Built Floating Pier

July 20, 2024

We talk about this stuff every Saturday at our breakfast discussions from 9:30 to 10:30am at the Banquet Room of Sal's Coal Fired Pizza at 501 New Road in Somers Point at Groveland Avenue.  Everyone is welcome to come.  Just order and pay for your own breakfast off the menu and tip your server.

Now about bad parenting and how long it took us to get here, another shocking story is what happened in the Holmesburg neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia lat about 6 ast night. A mom and dad were walking their 7 month old baby in a stroller.  Some woman they didn't know randomly approached them, said "F--- your baby", shot the baby in the leg with a handgun, and walked away.  These random crimes of hate show how bad things are.  Again, it didn't happen with one President.  It didn't start yesterday.  In those radio messages we've been running, we've been pointing out that this is part of a decline that began in around 1962 or 1963.

We can blame bad parenting, but look at how difficult we make it for young people to be parents these days.  It used to be you could live in a nice house with one parent working.  The house cost about 25% of your income.  Now you pay 50% or 60%.   Both parents have to work, so who is taking care of the kids?  They taught girls in school, if you want to be a mom, you're a failure.  They teach girls to work outside the home, be a fireman, be an executive to find fulfillment.  The convince young people not to be parents. In California the schools teach parents not to trust their parents. If you have sexuality problems, don't tell your parents. Don't even tell them what name we call you in school.  We have this war against parents, and this is what we are getting.

There are a whole lot of solutions.  But when you are lost, the first thing you do is go back to where you took that wrong turn, and then figure out how to go in the right direction.  That's why we're not ashamed to be Boomers at Liberty And Prosperity. We have a few younger folks in their 20s and 30s. But most are in their 60s and 70s.  We remember how good life was in the America we grew up in, and we remember the specific things we and our parents and grandparents did to make it that way.  It's no explanation to say "times have changed". We humans have not changed.  We have the exact same DNA. But we have gotten into some bad habits, and there is still time to straighten things out.

Some other things going on.  Peter Mora died three weeks ago, but the announcement was just made in the newspaper.  Peter Mora was the President of Atlantic Cape Community College for about 20 years.  When I was an adjunct professor there, I worked under him.  One of the tragedies is that when I was teaching traditional American history, and traditional American values, Constitutional government, I would have these "woke" students who would complain to the administration, and try to get me fired. Peter Mora, as President of the college stuck up for me, and made sure I was able to teach there. But as soon as he retired, I was gone.

One of the big disgraces about how "woke" that community college has become is that its run by Atlantic County and Cape May County government.  In Atlantic County, you have a Republican County Executive and a lopsided majority of Republican commissioners or freeholders. Cape May County has all Republican commissioners.  They pick about 13 of the 15 trustees of the college.   Why is that college now so woke that I can't even be an adjunct, non-tenured professor there?  If I can't teach there, I know dozens of good conservatives who would love to teach there, but who never have a chance.  You can't blame the college.  You have to blame the people who appoint the people who run the college.

We really miss not having someone like Peter Mora there. . .   It's the same story with woke public schools in conservative, Republican suburban towns.
