Twisted Ivy: Harvard students say US bigger threat to world peace than ISIS

They got most of their SAT questions right, but students at Harvard blew this lay-up posed by the college blog Campus Reform: Who is the bigger threat to world peace, ISIS or the U.S.?

Various students at the hallowed Ivy League school said they believe that America, not the Muslim fanatics who behead innocent people, is the biggest threat to world peace.

The students were interviewed on the quad by Campus Reform on Saturday, and the shocking video was posted on Tuesday.

?As a Western civilization, we?re to blame for a lot of the problems that we?re facing now,? one student said during an interview. ?I don't think anyone would argue that we didn't create the problem of ISIS, ourselves.?

Most of the other students interviewed shared the same sentiment ? that ISIS would not exist had it not been for the past actions of the U.S.

?American imperialism and our protection of oil interests in the Middle East are destabilizing the region and allowing groups like ISIS to gain power,? said another student.

Caleb Bonham, editor of Campus Reform, conducted the interviews and said that the students? response is nothing new.

?This video demonstrates the absurdity behind the bash America fad," Bonham told FoxNews.com. ?Unfortunately, too many students think it is intellectual to try and piece together a reason why America is a greater threat than this terrorist organization trying to establish a caliphate through public executions, bombings and beheadings.?

The Islamic State is a splinter group of Al Qaeda that has occupied a large swath of Syria and the northern region of Iraq and has tried to establish a caliphate and rule all Muslims under Shariah Law.

So, Cherry - because it is Haaarvard, you expect these kids to be, umm, smart?

It's a liberal prog university.

Exactly the answer I would expect from there.

Surprised? Not in the least.

But as the title suggests, it does provide (albeit small) a glimmer of hope.

And if you truly believe that Harvard is a "liberal prog university" - well....perhaps your definition of progressive differs immensely from mine own. Have you ever even stepped foot on the campus or spoken to any of the students yourself?!!

"This is the paradox of liberalism at Harvard. Students are not inherently liberal but, rather, academic. They enjoy exploring advancements in social science that might counter conservative norms, but this search is more due to intellectual curiosity than an intrinsic desire for social upheaval. Individuals may be interested in liberal fodder like promoting diversity and, by extension, affirmative action, but this is not a result of social status sacrifice. Harvard is a hierarchy-enhancing institution that contains many future leaders with high social dominance orientations.

This school largely revolves around being the best in all regards, be they academic, extracurricular, or career-based (socioeconomic). These aspects are usually considered part of cultural conservatism, a culture that many conflate with making money and pursuing high rewards.

Harvard students like to think, and modern media portrayal has removed this quality from most characterizations of the Republican Party. The recent prominence of party figures such as Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann lend credibility to Republican anti-intellectualism. Harvard undergraduates pride themselves on their mental faculties and avoid threats to that intellectualism. But, this does not make them the backbone of the Democratic Party."

Peace!

I dont know where you copy and pasted that from but it is horseshit.

One of my cousins - much younger than I - went to Harvard. I visited several times and talk to him regularly.

It is a liberal prog school. Period

You of course realize that Bill O'Reilly, Henry Kissinger, Lou Dobbs are Haavahaaad graduates. What are they, right wing progs, period?
