Hell Freezes Over

[Mr. Jeeves]

For years, spineless pseudo-conservatives have complained to me for writing constantly about my battles with the administration. They said it was futile and that I should write more about national issues as if the coopting of our universities and the shredding of the Constitution were not a national issue.

Not at all. This is exactly where the real battles need to be fought. Win enough of them, and the national issues will take care of themselves.

[IronJack]

Events like these let me hope that the long-awaited reaction is finally materializing. Conflagrations start with small sparks.

Mike Adams can take pride in knowing that he struck one of those sparks.

[Paine in the Neck]

The Long Counter-March has begun.

[RitaOK]

Being authentically moral on public issues is a fine relief.

Honestly, I believe we will see more of it. Sartarelli and TRUMP have proven the people are starved for authenticity, warts, lumps and all. Conservative Tradition is not dead, entirely, God willing.

This adds credence to Trumps popularity. People see we need people with experience and not "community organizers" and professional politicians running this country. Time to get the right people with the right skills in the right positions to do the right things for the citizens of this country.

Glad to see it happening at UNCW, and hope the trend will continue in the UNC system...

Jose "Zito" Sartarelli is just the man we have been looking for. Unlike me, he doesn't end his sentences in prepositions. More importantly, he has business experience. He has it from the private sector and also from the within the academy as dean of a large business school. This is very good news because we've tried putting social science and humanities professors in charge of universities and colleges. It doesn't work. Their only qualification is their ideology. We need practical problem solvers, not ideologues. And we've got one now.

Such great news!

Hope other schools get tired of losing and follow this university's example.

[exPBRrat]

I pray for things like this to happen...

...so now a prayer of thanks is called for.

I'm not sure what Mike Adams's viewa are on the 2016 election, but I have to imagine he agrees, especially given what he wrote: "We need practical problem solvers, not ideologues."

[RipSawyer]

Where is Clempson? Is it anything like Clemson?

[Vision Thing]

I join you in your prayer of thanks!

“For years, spineless pseudo-conservatives have complained to me for writing constantly about my battles with the administration. They said it was futile and that I should write more about national issues...”

He’s talking about the myopic Mr. MaGoo pseudo-conservatives who have never attended a local village council or county board meeting and see no value in conservative control of city councils, county boards and schoolboards. Then they sit behind their computers and bitch about high property taxes and little Johnny learning how to put a rubber on a cucumber in a classroom.

That Mr. MaGoo group is every bit as responsible for the mess we’re in as the leftists. These local elections only attract about 10% of the electorate. If conservatives were to show up for these elections, the control of our country by liberals would quickly end.

[Vision Thing]

I’m glad you posted this, because I’m a clueless Mr MaGoo about how to change these school and college administrators. You answered my question before I asked it here. Thanks!

[NKP_Vet]

I can tell you’re from SC. The proper pronunciation in NC is CLEMPSON! The proper term for Duke is Dook! Who you picking in the Alabama/Clempson title game. Should be a good one.

[Balding_Eagle]

Thank God America is awakening.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

To be fair, the Clemson players have a serious disadvantage. They lose practice time because they actually have to go to classes.

HEAR HEAR!!!!

[MarDav]

I am ecstatic to hear about this. My daughter attends UNCW and it is nice to know that the adults now occupy places of authority there. When I was reading about all this campus turmoil and the “safe zone” nonsense in recent months, I was truly tempted to withdraw my daughter and have her take online courses from Liberty University. It makes me sick to think that the money I send to folks to assist her to grow as a critical thinker is undermined by their philosophy of indoctrination. Hopefully, there will be more moves like this coming so that America’s education system can begin to reclaim its place among the world’s elite.

BTW, it is my firm belief that one thing conservatives must consider is to enter into the field of education, taking up positions as teachers, administrators, board members. It is one front in the battle for our nation which conservatives have almost completely conceded to the enemy.

[Gritty]

Whoa! This is happening at a public university in America!!??

I'm speechless...
