Liberals take the fun out of Tradition
October 31, 2007 | Check-in
I had to post this to you all. It’s from my friend Cynthia who works at the University of Evansville in Southern Indiana. She is perhaps the only Mitt Romney supporter on the entire campus:) The liberal academia up there just about drives her stark raving mad. Even simple interactions with them just boil her blood:)… HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
“Last night some professors had their kids out on campus to trick or treat. And two cute little kids came up to Ann and me and gave US candy. Their dad said that was a tradition they’d started with their kids - to give away instead of get candy. I asked if they also got to trick or treat the usual way too and have people give it to them to keep. He said, well, they get candy at other times ….Meaning no. They don’t. I thought that was just criminal. Poor kids. It’s one thing to do reverse trick or treating too but to not also let them get candy to keep on Halloween …
These academics. He probably read some sociological study that recommended this stupid idea. Probably supposed to make them grow up to be do-gooders who join the Peace Corps. 
What it’ll really do is fill them with resentment and rage and just wait - they’ll pay dad back for this when they get older.:) “

You have to remember what an insular world “academics” inhabit. They’re just not like “regular people,” they don’t hob-nob with “regular people,” and they wouldn’t be comfortable trying to fit in to a “regular people” lifestyle.
Bud, you remember how a lot of the people connected with the Alabama School of Fine Arts were “very different” from the “just plain folks” that we grew up with. They just saw things differently, and were removed from the world of “average folks.”
It’s the same sort of thing here.
I do know some liberal-types who are pretty normal in most respects, but to a greater or lesser extent all of them inhabit their own little world. I remember being very surprised when a young woman I home-taught in our ward (and who I very definitely wanted to have you meet, btw), who was single, never-married, no kids, a high-school teacher with an advanced degree, made a comment along the lines of “I really support Howard Dean for President!”
Her whole world-view was “I’m single, all alone in the world, and someone has to take care of me. It might as well be the government, and Howard Dean says he’ll make sure we all have health insurance.”
One of these days, that woman will be married with kids, and I have a feeling she’s going to see the world a bit differently. I’ve seen it happen time and time again.
