There’s a reason I have been showing my kids a bunch of Hillsdale promo videos.

Sounds like you have a smart son who has developed a capacity for critical thinking.

As for the specific conclusions he has reached at this particular time, as a critical thinker his views and outlook will constantly evolve.


If you want a parrot, get a parrot. A parrot will only say back what you say. That isn’t what you want in a son.

Unfortunately, this is a common story.
I agree with other posters- if he thinks socialism is so great, cut him off and let him find socialist solutions.

No one has ever conflated critical thinking with socialism until now.

Congrats on being the first idiot to do so.

What is the major of the OP’s son?

Tell your son that people in Africa feel the same way about him.

He was never a conservative. He just conforms and adopts the ideas of whoever he's around, be it you or the snot noses at school. It takes experience and an honest study of history to be a true conservative/capitalist. It's also important for young people to be able to differentiate between true capitalism and the crony capitalist system we currently enjoy. All of the problems that they identify are solved by less government, not more.

Marxists need to be purged from colleges by alumni.

One way to have them leave on their own is to make The Black Book of Communism required reading in a required course.

You being too stupid to understand my responses is a you problem, and makes them neither scatter-brained nor non-sequitor.

To term a father's withholding money from his son as a "boycott" is moronic. And you do it because you are a moron.

You scour the board looking for an opportunity to inject these ersatz uses for terms to try to show how clever (you think) you are, and to call them stupid because they don't buy into your pointless idiocy.

All it does is show your arse.

So far so good on my daughter, she is a junior and still a conservative and just rolls her eyes at her brother!


Your daughter gets male attention, your son has to take on a new personality for female attention. He’ll grow out of it one day.

Lol at the people who blame you for “ losing” your son. They don’t understand indoctrination and they don’t understand human psychology. I weep for the bloodshed and catastrophe this generation will give the world in their fundamentalist zeal to perfect the nature of man through Leftist ideology.

Let that be a lesson to you. Don’t send your kids to Bama.

Attempt to explain why this situation would not be boycotting. Prove you understand what boycotting means in the process.

You and your fellow progressive lunatics not understanding what “NPC” or “boycotting” means doesn’t make me a moron.

I read the board and point out stupidity when I see it. That you are frequently the recipient of having your stupidity pointed out should be a signal for you to stop sharing your stupidity. Clearly you aren’t intelligent enough to understand that.

quote:

I don’t think I’m clever, and it doesn’t take a clever person to point out the exceedingly obvious stupidity of you and your progressive brethren.

quote:

and to call them stupid because they don't buy into your pointless idiocy.

I call yall stupid because yall are stupid and prove it multiple times on daily basis.

And yall can’t stand it, because you know you’re stupid. That’s why none of you ever show up in any of the daily threads about the fallout from your horrific policies, or the frickups of your president that none of you will admit to voting for.

quote:

Everything you believe in and support is being enacted now by the people you have/would vote for, and the world is an undeniably worse place now than it was just 5 years ago because of it.

I sent my three kids to LSU and they are as conservative as I am, or more.

Maybe it’s you?

If that same father withheld his wife's monthly allowance for more sex, is he boycotting his wife?
