Rachel Campos-Duffy Quotes

The NRA issued regulations making many forms of child labor illegal. Many opposed to the idea, saw it as an attack on the freedom of a parent to decide whether a child would or could work and under what considerations. A father could send his son to work in a dangerous coal mine 12 hours a day and boys grew up never seeing the sun shine. This point of view and “right” of the parent, actually prevailed and the Supreme Court declared the NRA unconstitutional. It took a Constitutional Amendment that passed with overwhelming popularity to allow the government to regulate sweatshops, coal mines and other conditions of child labor. Like most things conservatives opposed, the association of a program or reform with communism traditionally stirred opposition, even to something as benign as child labor regulation.
Oliver was a right wing, racist, fanatic and extremist. His quotations are interesting because he often said in public what many right wing extremists only said in private.

What is amazing about this quotation is that it shows the naivety of one of the most sophisticated politicians in the country. He and many politicians were really surprised that commercial consumer marketing techniques would work so well. He and many others thought that the issue of marketing political candidates was something that should be debated. Meanwhile, all the pragmatic politicians of both political parties jumped on the commercial marketing bandwagon, but the Republicans tended to master and execute the techniques more skillfully.
From the earliest European universities, the conservative elements of the society has always felt that the universities were hotbeds of liberalism. Generally, the more education anyone obtains, the less he/she is susceptible to doctrine and control by others. However, far from liberal indoctrination, the leading conservative—including those like Santorum who castigate the universities, are themselves the products of the so called “indoctrination”. Generally, conservatives have tended to use the instruments of government and the access to wealth to control and shape the range of the political dialogue. In most societies, the University is a place where there is a much broader range of points of view available. In many nations today, the universities are censored, suspected, controlled by the establishment of the society to avoid rapid change which by definition, conservatives oppose.
