Ron Paul ruined my college career

[RonPaulFever]

After listening to Ron speak and researching his views on my own, I came to realize a few months ago that my political science professors are....not so bright. How am I supposed to go back for the spring semester and force myself to "learn" from these hacks now?

THANKS A LOT, RON! :mad:

[corsairtro]

Just ask questions about how does this fit into the constitution or show your smarts and say hey, the constitution doesn't explicity give the federal government this duty, shouldn't it be left to the states or require an amendment.

etc.

[krott5333]

he ruined my college career in that I am only taking one class this semester, to give myself more time to campaign.


And that one class? Constitutional Law

:)

[MikeStanart]

Thats' rather ironic.

Because I RETURNED to college (After not knowing which degree track to pick) TO political science.

I expect to see a lot of disinformation; but I can't stop myself from doing it!

Just focus on getting your degree. Nod your head, learn the crap they spew. You will do a great service when you make it through and teach real information.

[drexhex]

I had the option of taking a class this semester (am on my co-op, which is a 6-month internship where i work instead of go to class) but decided not to because I wanted to campaign more.

I even considered quitting my job o.O

[DjLoTi]

That's why I never did well in school. Well, that and the hot single young girls and the wicked parties. And I hate homework. Like, despise.

[Arek]

I'm still a history major but RP has enthused me in some of my research on topics like the federal reserve and the income tax and I also joined a student legislature group.

This is where you write the slam dunk thesis, get collegial and peer reviewed recognition and knock the know-it-all know nothing Professor out of his catbird seat. out of tenure and teach real politics instead of the sham cult of Machiavellian mish mosh mashed up with Hegelian dialecticals. In the meantime blow him off the podium in front of the other students with cogent arguments countering his BS.

I was thinking about going back to school and becoming a college professor. I remember when I was in college a lot of the professors were hacks, but I had some good ones that really spiked my intellectual capability. The United States needs more good college professors.

[TN_VOL]

If you want to get into to politics don't get political science degree, get a business, economics, history, or law degree. A political science degree will be worthless to you. They will hardly teach you anything you can't learn by simply reading Dr. Paul's books or from other people like him.

part of the reason the country sucks is because all of our educational systems were taken over by socialists in the 20s and 30s (whether or not you agree with the conspiracy theory that is was orchestrated), and has been since. yes, we need as many of us to go into teaching as possible, in addition to political office, NGO boards, etc

[AgentPaul001]

I had some issues with my political science class because although I beleive Lincoln did a lot of good, he also damaged our government almost beyond repair.

[rodent]

I've always viewed political science as a fake major. The only social science worth anything at all, in my opinion, is economics. Outside of social science but on the same general stuff, it's statistics.

What a fascinating dilemma. Isn't it interesting how our educational system
feeds us with garbage, especially when it comes to our history, economic
and political systems. It means we have to spend years unlearning all
that junk, only then to learn what the heck is really going on.

I sent you a PM cause im planning on attending A&M next year and im curious about how the poli sci program is.

[unloud]

Ask a lot of questions. The best way to teach is by making someone question their own views from the outside perspective. Alternatively, the best way to learn is by teaching and having the answers to the questions being asked.

:)

welcome to reality...im a business major and economics major (BEST major by far...they introduce you to ppl, and if u can learn more on ur own you feel like you can be on top of the world)....and i've done a lot of reading on my own time about the whole aspect of business....my teachers basically are extremely knowledged in looking good when they teach the overview of business, but none (for the most part) have a good business mind....

it sucks but you will get used to it....also dont read anything telling you how shitty a college degree really is...that makes is a lot worse lol

BUT what I love tho is going to class knowing I'm smarter than the teacher, and I always look around my classes and realize im in a completely different league than the ppl here becuz I learn on my own time as well....it's amazing to feel like that

And recieve an abitrary big, fat F for the course.

[Trigonx]

i'm going to school for accounting atm, and last semester i had a class called Individual Taxation, basically a class dedicated to the income tax explaining the working of it, learned about the evil AMT. After hearing about Ron Paul and him wanting to get rid of the IRS thus getting rid of the income tax made me realize how pointless that class will be, and it made me not want to actually go to the class but i ended up passing easily. Have some poly sci classes next semester and i can't wait to question the hell out of them.

same can be said for many econ (keynesian) professors.

I thought about getting a pol sci degree. Instead I have a degree in audio engineering with a minor in marketing. I have often thought about going back for a pol sci degree and becoming an attorney (ugh) but I tend to be lazy and don't want to work that hard. In that case if I do go back I might go for a MBA. ;)

Well, it's not just that, but when the government runs the schools, the schools will teach the government's agenda. It is not in the government's best interest to have a well educated populace now is it?

First thing first, the government needs to be OUT of education at all levels, but at minimum at the federal level.

I dropped my 2 years towards a Visual Communication Technology degree and I'm now switching to a Major in Economics, or perhaps even a Masters.

Oh man, I was in the same boat my Freshman year.

My Poli Sci 101 prof, on the first day of class, made it a point to tell us she had received her Bachelor's from UC Berkley-Class of '68. She didn't bother to tell us where she got her PHD from. Told me everything I needed to know...glad I was undeclared... ;)

My 2 cents. Dump Poli Sci. Find the Economics dept. Make sure they aren't a bunch of Keynesians (if they are, you are screwed...now it's time to transfer). If your school has some solid Austrian Economics scholars, those are the people that have what you are looking for.

[RobS]

Reading this thread makes me actually have hope for America. I know there are so many other college students like myself looking to get government out of our lives.

I am willing to bet there is someone in this movement who will be a Senator someday, perhaps even President :)

he has ruined my college career not because he enlightened me more but because I never go to class anymore because I am spending class time campaigning or organizing campaigning efforts.

That's a big part of my problem as well, I just forgot to mention in my OP. I'm reluctant to go back on the 14th since we have a campaign office opening on the 12th....

[StudentForPaul08]

Well for me he created my college career.

Thanks to Ron Paul and others aprt of the movement i am now going to Major in Political Science in the fall.

Thanks! lol

Steel yourself for the propaganda onslaught ;)

[NYgs23]

Everyone in college or going to college must guard themselves, because the perfessers are mainly ivory tower lefties and full of malarky. Especially in humanties and social sciences. If you want to debate it, do so subtly. Otherwise, just regurgitate it back to them, but let it go in one ear and out the other.

However, I myself DID once have a really free-market economics perfesser...

[jigsawgyrl]

I dealt with this issue years ago. I do not think it will do anyone any good to contend, argue, or tell the teacher they are wrong.

I agree with the comment about just nod your head. Complete the assignments, and graduate. I know that in some classes it is hard because you are cringing inside about the garbage that is being taught.

[StudentForPaul08]

haha, well my constitution will be my guide, and Ron Paul will be my hero. I will do fine. Even if they are as blinded as some neo-cons

One of my professors knew I was a hardcore RP supporter and did his best to work him into class discussions in order to stimulate debate, but I just couldn't get excited about his curriculum at all. The class was "Political Parties" and we spent the entire time learning about red state vs. blue state drivel exclusively. :rolleyes:

[saahmed]

Yeah Ron Paul definitely made me think a lot more about things. I always had similar views before. But now I can just take a look at any policy and reflect back on what Ron Paul would think about it. It's all I can ever think about. Ron Paul has definitely changed my life. And maybe affected my college career by making me obsessed with reading about him and watching all the videos.

[TaxProtester]

Ron Paul motivated me to switch my major from philosophy to political science. No Joke. If i am able to afford law school, I plan on attending after. I think I might need to buy a super duper tin foil hat for that one, should be fun:D

I've been really tempted to switch to political science lately, but I don't know what I would want to do with that degree.

Man, I didn't realize we had so many Aggies in this thread.

Trigon, were you involved in this masterpiece? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBoZTM8_cVw&eurl=http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2007/12/05/rapping_the_cre.html

[MikeStanart]

I'm going to assume you're implying that the political science degree at A&M lacks a tad.... and I'll agree with you there.

This is my first semester in the Poli Sci program; so I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[MikeStanart]

That's where I go :)

I've been really tempted to switch to political science lately, but I don't know what I would want to do with that degree.

I don't have a clue what I'll do with it either. All I know is i'm very interested in politics; enough to where I know I'll actually be able to finish the degree. I couldn't see myself doing any other degree; to be honest.

[ZenX]

Hah! +1 for Aggies. Except I'm in administration now. :)

When I taught at a university for 8 years or so, I always aimed to throw in logic and critical thinking, so not all of us are rotten or misguided.

Oh, and to all you Aggies in CS here;

I'll be looking forward to seeing you in the Meetup Groups; since i'm back in town.

[jabrownie]

Dr. Paul's campaign convinced me to sign up for Election Law and Media Law; seemed like getting a knowledge of both as quickly as possible could be useful.

:)

Hey!!! Hey! This is exactly what I'm having to deal with as well! Ron Paul opened my eyes. I have finally woken up from my deep slumber. I get angry every time I think about the lies I've been taught during the course of my school career :eek:

[free.alive]

I've taken Federal and state grants and loans. I left college, and I'm not returning until I can simultaneously pay off my debts to the public and fund my own education.

As for the grants, I hope to earn enough one day to donate at least the equivalent amount (adjusted for inflation - which, hopefully, if we win shouldn't add on too much) to someone else for their education in addition to the education of my child(ren).

[emk]

Tell them what they want to hear, then turn on them.

[JAlli41]

one of the reasons i loved Ron was that he was actually discussing the things we were talking about in class... International Relations that is...

[freedominnumbers]

If I were to go to college now I might be tempted by Hillsdale College. http://www.hillsdale.edu
I get a monthly mailer from them that always has a good article in it.

Plus they take a stand on government intervention in their process by refusing government student loans.

[greves]

You could always check out Auburn, home of the Mises Institute.

[OferNave]

same can be said for many econ (keynesian) professors.

That was one of the two questions I asked Ron Paul during his visit to Dixville Notch, NH. "Why is Keyensian economics still the only theory taught in all US schools?" Yeah, basically because they are government run.

For one, you could change your major to something that's profitable for an honest person.
