Some in Iraq think the U.S. government is in bed with ISIS. It is, unless it’s not – as complicated as it is dangerous and stupid. This apparently is what passes for foreign policy in the 21st Century. It all matches domestic economic policy.

At home the meddling is immeasurable. Upon getting around the pointless debt ceiling … again … the government ran up the national debt $674 Million – in one day.

The debt cost never stops growing. Neither does any other program costs. The fools at United Healthcare admit they didn’t imagine the costs of Obamacare would rise so high so fast. They, being part of the larcenous Big Club lobbied for the Act. Now they regret it. Fools.

Citi Group says we’re in for a recession next year. Next year they will say it started this year.

Retailers know we are depressed now. Black Friday sales were nearly dismal this year. Except for gun sales – they keep smashing records as intelligent Americans prepare for the inevitable. This offends the unintelligent, the criminals, and the left. Much of life offends them.

White college students nationwide, tired of being hated by the system merely because they exist, are organizing student unions. Liberal administrative leaches, “educators” and the rabble that passes for the student body are all so offended.

Having had enough of the crybabies and fake students, the President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University has told them to grow up and shut up. His words bear repeating in full (this is truly great):

This is Not a Day Care. It’s a University!

Dr. Everett Piper, President

Oklahoma Wesleyan University

This past week, I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt “victimized” by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13. It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love. In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.

I’m not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic. Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims. Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them “feel bad” about themselves, is a “hater,” a “bigot,” an “oppressor,” and a “victimizer.”

I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen. That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience. An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad. It is supposed to make you feel guilty. The goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sins—not coddle you in your selfishness. The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization.

So here’s my advice:

If you want the chaplain to tell you you’re a victim rather than tell you that you need virtue, this may not be the university you’re looking for. If you want to complain about a sermon that makes you feel less than loving for not showing love, this might be the wrong place.

If you’re more interested in playing the “hater” card than you are in confessing your own hate; if you want to arrogantly lecture, rather than humbly learn; if you don’t want to feel guilt in your soul when you are guilty of sin; if you want to be enabled rather than confronted, there are many universities across the land (in Missouri and elsewhere) that will give you exactly what you want, but Oklahoma Wesleyan isn’t one of them.

At OKWU, we teach you to be selfless rather than self-centered. We are more interested in you practicing personal forgiveness than political revenge. We want you to model interpersonal reconciliation rather than foment personal conflict. We believe the content of your character is more important than the color of your skin. We don’t believe that you have been victimized every time you feel guilty and we don’t issue “trigger warnings” before altar calls.

Oklahoma Wesleyan is not a “safe place”, but rather, a place to learn: to learn that life isn’t about you, but about others; that the bad feeling you have while listening to a sermon is called guilt; that the way to address it is to repent of everything that’s wrong with you rather than blame others for everything that’s wrong with them. This is a place where you will quickly learn that you need to grow up.

This is not a day care. This is a university!

OKWU might be the ideal place to go should you find yourself in the market for actual higher education. Impressive.

On the trivial but exciting side of “education” UGA is rumored to be higher Kirby Smart as its new head football coach. Mark Richt fans (legion) want him to consider running for governor of Georgia. I suspect he is too good a man to stoop down to the politicians’ level.

Speaking of the pols, there’s a big election looming. I’ll bet your favorite candidate has actionable plans ready to deal with all of these problems. That was a joke …
