[Photo from Wonkette]It was 1998. He was 34 years old, in process of obtaining a master's from Regent University (then known as CBN University).
His master's thesis was titled, "The Republican Party's Vision for the Family: The Compelling Issue of the Decade."
Aha. This should be good!
Now you might recall that Regent University is a rightwhitewingnut faux institution founded by the crazy christianist goofball, Pat Robertson [Who also donates bunches of money to McDonnell]. It is just about everything a real university is not! It is a training ground for rightwhitewingnuts who want to go into the world preaching Jesus in their daily work and make the US of A God's country! The people spewing from the maw of this miserable mess of a school have not been taught to think. Regent's purpose is to indoctrinate - to create a class of repugnant, rightwhitewingnut politicos, or lawyers, or business people, or whatever.
Case in point, Bob McDonnell. Politics Daily had this to say about McDonnell's 1998 thesis:
"In the 99-page document, McDonnell outlined a battle plan to social conservative warriors that called for the usual things: make abortion illegal, oppose gay rights, bring religion into the schools. The Democrats and media reports have focused on how McDonnell went the extra mile by decrying working women as 'detrimental' to the traditional family, blasting federal tax credits for child care expenses, and denouncing a Supreme Court decision overturning laws criminalizing contraception for married folks."
It gets worse! McDonnell wrote:
"Each institution in society has been instituted by God for specific, limited purposes."
Not only so, but as the Politics Daily noted, McDonnell "had written approvingly of laws that made sexual intercourse outside of marriage illegal."
[Boy, that would put one hell of a lot of Repugnican politicians in jail; including most of those who think they should be president!]
Now McDonnell, who would be governor of the state that has as its motto, "Virginia is for lovers," says aw, he didn't really mean what he wrote back so many years ago. He was young and immature, and his views, he claims, have changed since he wrote that master's thesis.
Thirty four was young?
Have his views really changed?
Nah. Not much anyway. Read up on his career as a Virginia state legislator! He just doesn't like being outed as the complete asshole he is!

I hope these under educated people will find it hard to make a living, so that well educated people will be the bosses. They will not be able to compete in a world wide market that requires real education. I do worry about the next twenty years or so.
