Only problem is, I don’t.

Fortunately alot of vets are going back to school and we are doing our best to shake things up a little. Especially in the sociology, psychology and english departments!
These departments would make marx proud to be red.

Pre-emptively silencing speech at Stanford is another great example of how modern-day liberalism is a formula for turning formerly liberal values upside down and inside out.

“Free speech” means speech that is either pre-approved by those in authority, or speech that doesn’t upset the sensibilities of liberals.

The “open marketplace of ideas” means denying some the opportunity to participate in the guise of “avoiding controversy.”

“Diversity” means pre-emptive and punitive efforts at pre-emptive thought-control.

“Affirmative Action” means “two-wrongs-make-a-right” reverse racism.

“National security” means treating implaccable ideological enemies like perfectly reasonable people, and letting them run wild.

“Domestic tranquility” means disarming the citizenry.

“The pursuit of happiness” means an “out of sight, out of mind” mentality toward anyone who challenges your point of view.

You get the idea.

Today’s liberals seem to think of freedom of expression like an onion: They want to peel away the parts of it that make “offend” them or force them to entertain unwanted thoughts; but instead of revealing itself, “Freedom of Speech and Assembly” simply vanishes.

Our freedoms won’t die with a bang, but a whimper. It’s the Liberal Way.

A conference representative confirmed off the record that thinkBIG was trying to avoid “controversy” by not inviting Hirsi Ali.

Since when does Stanford want to avoid controversy?
It’s diversity of thought they want to avoid. Diversity in race, color and gender are all welcome as long as everyone thinks alike and differences are only skin deep. Conservative thought is in the minority on campus, so you would thing they would want to increase diversity by inviting more conservative speech. But that won’t happen because Conservatives are now the “target”.

“No society ever becomes more tolerant. It just changes targets.”
- Glenn Beck

“In professing themselves wise, they become fools.”

-Romans 1:22

’nuff siad.

the professor said that these were examples “of a speaker who counts as ‘conservative’ whose invitation was aborted.”

I’m sure that was no pun intended.

And now this. Ah, for the good old days, before PC went amuck, when the football team was proudly called “Indians” and Prince Lightfoot did his victory dance at games.

(Some progress on the MEChA issue.)
