I strongly suspect Mr. Shapiro is up to the task.

Ben, if you receive an invitation to a picnic in Ft Marcy Park ... don’t go.

Shapiro is great but I think it’s a very poor choice of words. The leftist media will have a great time making fun of the poor “wittle wepublicans” crying about the schoolyard bully.

Only NBC? It’s the whole damn bunch of them. If we don’t figure out how to beat this democrat/media complex, we’re toast.

He questions whether Sarah Palin should have run for vice president not because he questioned her credentials, but because she had a newborn child (imagine if he’d done that to any liberal woman).”

That's a trick question. A liberal woman would have been disqualified for letting the inconvenient child live.

Ben Shapiro is a fine young Conservative- and very smart.
Maybe he’ll run for office one day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Shapiro
[edit] Early life and education

Shapiro attended Yeshiva University High Schools of Los Angeles.[2] He then enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), majoring in political science, and graduating summa cum laude in 2004.

[3] At UCLA, Shapiro lived off-campus.[4] He also wrote a column for the Daily Bruin student newspaper at UCLA from 2000 to 2002. The Daily Bruin suspended Shapiro after he complained on radio talk shows that the newspaper refused to print his column accusing Muslim student groups of supporting terrorism.[2]

Shapiro was hired at age 17 to become the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the country by Creators Syndicate.[citation needed]
He received his Juris Doctor (J.D.), cum laude, from Harvard Law School in 2007.[3] He briefly practiced law at the Los Angeles office of Goodwin Procter LLP, and was a Vice President at Talk Radio Network. He now does independent legal consulting for major media clients.[3]

[edit] Writing career

Shapiro has written a book on his experiences in college, titled Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth (ISBN 0-7852-6148-6), which was published in 2004 by WND Books.[2] In Brainwashed, Shapiro accused professors of being “totalitarian” and “indoctrination” through “[m]aking a case for one side and completely discarding the other side. He also criticized campus speech codes.

His next book, Porn Generation: How Social Liberalism Is Corrupting Our Future (ISBN 0-89526-016-6), was published by Regnery in June 2005.
Michelle Malkin recommended the book for summer reading in a feature by the conservative magazine National Review: “Ben argues valiantly on behalf of modesty in a flesh-baring world.”[7]

His following book, Project President: Bad Hair and Botox on the Road to the White House (ISBN 1-5955-5100-X), was published in 2008. Shapiro’s latest book, Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV was published by Harper Collins in June 2011. In that book, Shapiro argues that Hollywood has a left-wing agenda construed in the messages in primetime entertainment programming and interviewed many in the entertainment industry.[8]
He was interviewed by Fox News and RT (TV network) about his book and called, for example, the children’s show Sesame Street left-wing propaganda.[9] As substantiation of his criticism Shapiro interviewed several producers who said that Happy Days and M*A*S*H had an intended pro-pacifist orientation.[10]

Shapiro’s newest book is “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America.”

Shapiro is currently the Editor-At-Large for Breitbart News and a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

[edit] Radio

Shapiro guest hosts regularly for major talk show hosts including nationally syndicated hosts Jerry Doyle and Rusty Humphries. From May 2, 2010 to 2011, he hosted The Ben Shapiro Show on the Orlando, Florida talk radio station WEUS.[11] Shapiro currently co-hosts “The Morning Answer” on KRLA 870 Los Angeles and KTIE 590 Orange County along with Brian Whitman and Heidi Harris.

[edit] Political ideology

Shapiro has taken conservative stances on many social issues. He favors more military and law enforcement spending, as well as more restrictive laws against abortion and pornography.
He has also spoken favorably of tighter immigration restrictions and expanded government wiretapping powers of suspected terrorists. Shapiro is also strongly critical of the liberal beliefs of American Jews.

Shapiro is also a very strong advocate for abstinence before marriage. He is also a staunch critic of judicial activism, supporting judges whom he believes interpret the United States Constitution according to its original meaning. He has advocated significantly modifying the jury system as it exists in the United States.[12]
