Cecil Rhodes WAS a globalist, a member of the illuminati, and much more. However, it does not necessarily follow that everyone who accepts the scholarship bearing his name buys into the philosophy of the man, himself. Kris Kristofferson, former Maryland Terrapin basketball player Tom MacMillan, Princeton and New York Knicks legend Senator Bill Bradley, Former USC Trojan & L.A. Rams quarterback Pat Haden and many others have been "Rhodes Scholars", & the scholarship, itself, has long been held to be one of the most prestigious in the world.
No doubt some of the curriculum is heavy on all the messages "Da Dawg" so correctly condemned, but it is likely that many have accepted the scholarship & completed the program for the prestige of the experience rather than to embrace any and/or all of the attached curriculum's messages. Attendance at Oxford is part and parcel of the program and I can readily name at least two noted Oxford Dons who were anything but "Globalists" & champions of a One World Government; John Wesley and C.S. Lewis.
President Clinton was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, but hardly attended any classes and did not graduate the program.
While I strongly oppose globalism and any movement towards a one world state, I personally choose to refrain from calling names those who do embrace such things; I prefer, simply, to think of them as educated idiots.
Oops.
Although I can recall that Tom MacMillan was one of Coach Driesell's two Rhodes Scholars, I seem unable to recall who was the other; I am thinking it might have been one of his players on his fine Davidson teams of the early-to-mid 1960's, maybe Rodney Knowles or Jerry Kroll...perhaps Mr. Leffler can help me out here?
Thanks.
John
