As a longtime fan of his it's my belief that he embraced the radicalism of the sixties/seventies because he was revolted by the kewpie-doll image Brian Epstein had crafted for the Beatles and he wanted to be taken seriously as the intelligent person he was.
But being an intellectually honest person (a rare thing on the Left) he eventually came to realize that his Bomb-throwing Revolutionary Messiah image was as artificial as the Loveable Moptop image he was trying to escape, and he finally was on the road to having the normal life of a human being that he lost on the Ed Sullivan Show. His last hit song said it best:
"I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go."

They slavishly delivered themselves up to Obama in the naive belief that he was "one of their own" and that they were his equals, and did everything possible to put him over the top. Like infatuated 13-year-olds crushing on a Varsity upperclassman they followed him about, adoringly hanging on his every word. But now that he has taken to the playing field and has control of the ball The Great Quarterback has more important things to do than indulge the contemptible romantic fantasies of mere children, and so their hearts are breaking.
But the torch they carry for their Magnificent Champion still burns too hot for them to cast it aside so they go on believing that, really, he loves them too...

Stewart's rants against Cain have a racial element; they are apparently motivated by his belief that Conservativism is inherently racist and that any black person who claims to be Conservative is an Uncle Tom. Is that "racist"? Who can say?

Isn't that how the slaves were handled on the plantations? Give them the absolute minimum needed to survive while taking as much as they can possibly produce.
Leftism wants to put us all on their plantation. Back to the Liberal cotton fields, Uncle Herman!

The insane competitiveness over athletic programs in the schools is helping destroy the educational system in America. The athletic departments in colleges are the most powerful and well-funded, and academic departments play only a secondary supporting role in the schools. Athletes are media stars and schools corrupt themselves in order recruit "students" who are academically deficient, then prop them up and grease the skids for them in their studies in order to have star-studded (no pun intended) teams.
It's time to remove athletics from the colleges and create a system of frankly athletics-oriented training facilities specifically designed to groom professional athletes and which don't have to carry on the hypocritical fiction that their athletes are "students" who, oh by the way, also happen play in sports.
