   Yes but are they students? And if so, will they be expelled?

    Here are some legal questions. Let’s say a Tom Tancredo accepts an invitation by UNC to address a forum on border control. He gets hit by an object thrown by one of these student-thugs injuring him seriously. How liable is UNC and to who?

    Isn’t UNC responsible for guaranteeing the safety of invited guests? Couldn’t Tancredo sue UNC? What would be the charges? Are there other parties in attendance who could also sue? Even without being injured, couldn’t Tancredo sue?

    I’ve lived in western NC for about 6 years. I’ve never been anywhere near Chapel Hill and plan to keep it that way.

    Like almost all other states, NC is rapidly sinking like a rock as the state and all the local governments are running huge deficits. NC is one of the states that isn’t paying state income tax refunds because they don’t have the dough. Yep, Raleigh can hold taxed money that is rightfully ours, but woe unto him who is 15 minutes late paying his tax to Raleigh.

    With all the cutbacks, how long will it be before the UNC system starts folding? Then maybe Bullhorn Boy can go out and get a real job. Maybe one of those shovel-ready jobs BO has been yammering on about. Personally, I wouldn’t bet on the guy being able to cut it. He doesn’t look (or sound) like he’s done an honest day’s work in his life.

    These bozos would have their day in court. During the proceedings, every time they are requested to answer the judge, an airhorn would be sounded just inches from the defendents’ ears (their lawyers may share).

    Not being able to answer the judge’s inquiries, the judge would then increase their sentences due to contempt of court charges. Any protests would be met with the same loud air horn. This should continue in their cells for the duration of the sentence.

    This may help them learn the important lesson that the perps’ opinions are not as valued by society as the originators think.

    I’m sure these kids are mostly pretty intelligent. However, they remain willfully ignorant and undisciplined in their education and personal growth. They are, in effect, unteachable. When they are never corrected or refuse correction, they tend to remain stuck in an emotional and intellectual cull de sac (sp?).

    When Brian posted at Hot Air, he wondered why I hated Chapel Hill so much. It should be self evident now. Although, speaking out against Chapel Hill is a bigger business death than speaking out against gay marriage I assure you. I’ve been threatened boycotts for criticisms of their basketball team much worse than the gay community could do.

    So long as the police DO THEIR JOB, there is no need for me to render civil disobedience with my two loaded fists to defend free speech.

    I hate to ‘lower myself to their level’, but reasoning with them is out of the question. They WANT socialism. They think being rich or striving to be rich is a sin. They expect everyone’s money and property is their money and property. If you disagree with them, you are worse than Hitler.

    I’m all for civil discourse, but how long is this going to have to go on before ya’ll realize reasoning with these people with logic isn’t going to happen. The indoctrination they get in public schools is too much to overcome. We need to bring back the paddle in gradeschool to show that actions have consequences. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

    I wonder if a better guage would be to check out the syllabus of various university departments and see where the ideologies lead too.

    Based on my college experience at the University of Memphis (as well as 4 community colleges), my theory is that 80-85% of the English, Psychology, Sociology, Women’s study and African-American study departments lean left to far left in academia.

    For parents that are considering sending your kids to college, spend sometime walking the school buildings and checkout what the professors hang up outside their doors. This will give you a good picture of what type of material and perspective your son/daughter is going be learning.

    Another good source is Ratemyprofessor.com and I frequently check it out before registering for my classes to get a feel of what other students are saying about a particular instructor.

    What? I have to quantify? If I were liberal I would duck the question.

    That was my personal experience during my university days. We had on campus troubles and we ROTC students were frequently targets of demonstrations. What we observed was that the demonstrators consisted primarily of the non-students, who hung around campus, espcially the Student Union, and people too young to be there.

    We were flabbergasted as to why the campus police had to stand there and do nothing. A fellow cadet, who grew up in the town where the university was, started pointing out various HS and college age kids, who were the children of fauculty members. One of the protest ring leaders was the son of the Dean of Students.

    Thus, “daddy” was protecting his little boy and his hoodlum friends. As a result, since my graduation, I have donated nary a penny to that school.

    Amen brother. I never met a psych/sociology/womens or african american studies major I could stand. The PC oozed from these guys (I have a step sister that is a sociology grad and I dred seeing her at holidays). Especially the affirmative action majors which add no, zero/nada, value to society at large. AA studies such as those exist only in a prosperous society, which was built by the capitalists they so despise. There is no demand for women’s studies in a society that barely meets the basic needs of food and shelter for it’s citizens.

    Bottom line- anytime a conservative speaker on the right side of illegal immigration is set to speak on any college campus or other threatening venue, he/she should bring along some of the folks who have lost their loved ones to illegal aliens. I wouldn’t even have them speak- just bring signs with pictures with a brief caption. “Mary Smith, Killed by an illegal alien on 3/20/07″ ( just an example). I would also include people who have lost their jobs to illegals and therefore their homes. Signs like “I lost my job to an illegal because I don’t speak Spanish- I thought this was America!” and ” An illegal took my construction job and is now making $20/hr and I’m on welfare”. Line them up all along the front of the dais, 2 or 3 lines deep. DARE the punks to come after them- and then watch the media circus.

I keep hearing people say, “who would send their children to a school like that?” – well I’m not sending her anywhere, it’s her decision. Her dad and I have worked very hard her whole life to instill traditional values, and she seems so far to embrace them. I only pray she keeps her brains when she gets there…

    I think these kids didn’t necessarily come from liberal backgrounds, but lenient and apathetic backgrounds. Their parents probably had little to do with actually raising them – the TV and public schools took care of that.

    Clearly, the lefties on campus are rightfully afraid that the words of speakers like Tancredo are particularly transformative, and would resonate with anyone that hears them. Thus, they must prevent that from happening.

    That is what truth and facts will do, and the lefties clearly have to drown this out with childish antics, as they have no sane or logical retort.

    Anyone that tries to squelch speech is afraid of it. See: communists, dictators, “Fairness” Doctrine.

    Unpatriotic cowards all of them.
