This happens on this board every day. Every minute of every hour of every day. Well.... Okay, maybe not in the wee hours of the morning. But average it out and I'm right -- Every minute of every hour of every day.
These days if you want to talk about liberal policy, if you want to talk about obama's liberal policy, Eric Holder's liberal policy or even liberal policy in general......
You are instantly accused of being the vilest of people. Terrorist sympathizer, misogynist, racist, homophobe, woman-hater..... Whatever.
They find something to accuse you of. Because they don't want to talk about their liberal policies.
At all.
You see, they've already made their decision. They are not interested in what you have to say.
At all.
They've made up their minds, so sit down and just shut up.
This article is about the College Campus and rape.
But it doesn't matter what the topic is, the answer from our liberal pals is always the same...
Shut Up!!

Is campus “rape culture” off the list of acceptable debate?
Last week we featured Mark SteynÂ’s column about forced intellectual conformity on campus:
Universities are no longer institutions of inquiry but ‘safe spaces’ where delicate flowers of diversity of race, sex, orientation, ‘gender fluidity’ and everything else except diversity of thought have to be protected from exposure to any unsafe ideas….
As American universities, British playwrights and Australian judges once understood, the ‘safe space’ is where cultures go to die.
Almost as if on cue, some students at Cornell have sought to shut down a dissenting view on campus “rape culture.”
The spark was a column in The Cornell Daily Sun by student Julius Kairey, which we featured at College Insurrection. That column, titled The Truth About “Rape Culture” took issue with the statistics behind claims of an epidemic of sexual assault, and the related rush to strip the accused of due process rights:
The loss of due process rights for students accused of sexual assault is a topic we have addressed many times here and at College Insurrection:

The response to KaireyÂ’s column was fairly predictable, as we noted at College Insurrection. A group of Cornell students castigated The Daily Sun for running the column, and accused Kairey of fomenting further sexual assaults, The Danger of Rape Culture Denial:
We disagree with the decision to publish “The Truth About ‘Rape Culture,’” by Julius Kairey ’15. Kairey blatantly disrespected a sensitive subject by reducing and delegitimizing the scarring experiences of survivors. This newspaper erred in publishing this article and should now also take responsibility for the harmful, triggering effects that articles like these cause. We hope that in the future, the Cornell Daily Sun makes a conscious effort to ensure that their columnists treat subjects like sexual assault with respect. We call for an apology from Kairey and the Cornell Daily Sun…..
Rape culture describes the systematic denial of justice for victims of sexual assault: The deck is always stacked against the survivor, and the ignorant defend this status quo. Those, like Kairey, who have the power to create change by advocating for survivors instead choose to ignore their voices, erase their rights and refuse to hold perpetrators accountableÂ….
Read the whole thing.
It nicely fits with what Steyn called the “shut up” culture on campuses.

It's time we told the left to just Shut Up for a change. I'm tired of hearing their bullshit
