Conservatives don't have a foot left to shoot

[WillowTree]

Private Institute, can do as it pleases.

However, if it is receiving any Government money that won't stand.

None of you minds one bit when Liberal Professors brow beat and censor non liberal students. IN Government funded Colleges to boot.

It is real simple actually, the professor and his hired students make it clear you will tow the Professors belief line or you will fail.

Now go ahead and claim it doesn't happen.

I figure this will end up in court somewhere. There is some government money somewhere in there.

Don't get any matches near that professor comment. You like to get your strawmen set up early in the debate, don't you?

Cry me a river.. You are aware are you not that we have a Congressional Black Caucus all black, all democrat that whites aren't allowed to belong to? There's you some government money! go after that.

Brow beat and censor? In my experience they try to have an honest debate but can't get the conservatives past the few talking points that have been memorized. That's why as a person gains more education they're more likely to shift to the left.

You just made his point. Your post admits that he was right, professors do brow beat and censor non-liberal students. "In your experience they try to have an honest debate"........ Why are they having debate in the classroom? The only reason is because the professor asked a loaded leading question to get some poor conservative to fall into the trap of answering in class where he could then be publicly humiliated by the professor. You said this happens. It should never happen. It's wrong. Teachers should teach. Any teacher who does what you said happens at universities should be run out of town on a rail, IMO.

Republicans are not allowed into the Congressional Black Caucas.

Nor are whites.

Liberty is a private religious school originally created by Jerry Falwell ally Bob Jones if memory serves. What the hell do you expect?

actually, by Fallwell himself


notice how all the liberal posters in this thread have totally ignored that

actually not all of us have, why do you think I said I am surprised any liberal would even go there. Doesn't mean they don't recieve government money, if you can get fincial aid which you can they are recieving government money.

This is a faulty conclusion.

While it's true that the ridiculously overeducated are usually Liberal, I think it makes more sense to assume that those who seek degree after degree are of a Liberal mind bent before the process begins.

What you say could be applied to many areas. As a person sees more doctors, he tends to become more sick. See the trap here? He was already sick and the more sick he was, the more doctors he saw. It's likely that if he was not at all sick, he would not have seen a doctor until he turned 50 and need "that" examination.

Those who gauge intelligence by the credentials conferred, and who feel self worth as a result of those credentials, seek more. There are those who gain self worth from wealth, from family, from physical achievemnet or authority. There is no0thing intrisically good or bad about it, but saying that more education causes more liberalism is just not a supportable line of logic.

The world of theory does not always lend itself to the real world. The further from reality one wanders, the more Liberal one is apt to become.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to code1211 again.

Childress says she was told by Mark Hine, the vice president of student affairs, that "'You can't be a Democrat and be a Christian and be a university representative.'"

Because that's too much to handle all at once?



I wonder if any other private colleges have a mandate against Republican groups?

I wouldn't say 'Republican' necessarily, but 'conservative' certainly. There is a group that fights for university freedom of speech:
FIRE - Foundation for Individual Rights in Education

If you visit the above you will find almost all the censoring is applied to the 'right', in fact from the sounds of it, this was Liberty's way of striking back and the response is just what was expected.

Republicans are not allowed into the Congressional Black Caucas.

Nor are whites.

Republicans certainly are allowed in the Congressional Black Caucus. There have been only 4 black republicans elected to congress since it's inception and 3 of them have been caucus members. One of them refused to join.

You can't find the 4 black guys in a sea of white republicans?

First, conservatives dont shoot feet. We aim for the head.

Second, this has very little to do with conservatives and everything to do with some radical evangelicals.

More conservatives should tell these guys to shove off. Considering the attention given to their issues by conservatives, it appears they are at the helm.

No Republican candidate for President who has not been a bona fide friend of evangelicals has been elected President in recent history.

Very true. It's a tough spot for republicans. The evangelical stance on gays and abortion have consumed the republican party.

They have made Republicans winners in national elections. Because the majority of Americans support their views on those things.

That's a stretch.

Seems to me most people who show up at the polls are voting against this or that issue or politician, rather than for them.

It's not a stretch. Reagan, Bush, Bush, all favored by evangelicals. Ford, Dole, McCain, tepid support from evangelicals AND conservatives.

Meh, first, luckily Evangelicalism is fading, so no threat of them gaining too much power even if they were this huge threat.

Secondly, they are fringe and extremists, both sides have those.

None of which addresses the general propensity of voters who show up to vote against initiatives or candidates.

Likewise, correlation doesn't add up to causation.

They have only faded as liberals have been successful at talking conservatives out of courting them.

Any Republican who dismisses them has no chance of winning a national election.
