Thanks once again to The Other McCain for the Rule Five links!
Today’s dose of terminal stupidity comes from the University of California (where else?) where the student government has apparently voted to divest themselves – from America.
Jefferson Davis was unavailable for comment. Excerpt:
The University of California Student Association board – which represents all 233,000 students enrolled in the UC system’s 10 campuses – approved a resolution on Sunday that calls on the system’s leaders to financially divest from the United States.
The measure cited alleged human rights violations by America such as drone strikes that have killed civilians, and claimed the country’s criminal justice system is racist, among other accusations.
The “Resolution Toward Socially Responsible Investment at the University of California” passed with an overwhelming majority vote of 11-1-3.
OK, then, students, have it your way.
No more Imperial subsidies for your school. No more Imperial financial aid for students at UC; no Pell grants, no Imperially backed student loans, no nothing, no kidding. Your tuition, which you will now have to all pay yourselves, will also have to cover not only building but road maintenance in and around your campus – and security, since the local and State police will no longer answer calls to your campus. I advise you buy some guns for your campus cops – except, this bunch of brain-dead twits probably won’t vote for that.
Oh, and by the way, you’ll need some sort of power plant, since your electricity and natural gas will be cut off. And your postal service.
If these imbeciles are the future of our country – well, then, we’re hosed.
