Caleb Slater, a conservative student and the president of the Ithaca College Republicans, recently attended YAFs 39th Annual National Conservative Student Conference, where he received a baseball cap with the Young Americas Foundation logo and our slogan, The Conservative Movement Starts Here, printed on the back. Caleb chose to wear his YAF hat when he attended a vigil in Syracuse, New York, for the victims of last weekends violent clash in Charlottesville.
I wore my Young Americas Foundation hat to the rally as a symbol of peace, Caleb explained. I wore the hat to show that conservatives condemn the actions of the alt-right just as much as anyone else in our culture. It was this hat that earned Caleb the attention of antifa supporters at the same rally, and led to a violent attack caught on camera.
This incident highlights the true intolerance of the Left today: when a conservative goes out of their way to find common ground with their ideological rivals, leftists lash out merely due to a conservative logo and slogan on a ball cap.

I still don’t know why any conservative individual would choose to go to Ithaca College or Cornell. As you say, Ithaca is evil. It has to be much like walking onto the campus at Berkeley....There are certainly other schools where the same higher education could be pursued without walking into the lion’s den. I wouldn’t even WANT to make peace with that mentality!
Like I’ve said before, I got out of that city 60 years ago and never looked back...Oh! Probably for the first 10 years or so as it was a pretty decent city then...even worked at Cornell right out of high school but I was pretty young and dumb then - HA! But seriously, politics wasn’t part of any of the workplace there.
My relatives still in the surrounding area steer clear of that city except one who is a liberal!!!!
Best you be carrying concealed. It would be...prudent.
George Orwell said that language makes humans easy to control : control their language and you control the people.
Control the language and you control the argument.
The left are mad dogs do not feed them.
Don’t ever forget what Booker T. Washington had to say about race and race baiters:

::There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs::
::I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who dont want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.::
Smart - very good!!!!
Exactly.
“”Did you demand the Tea Party stop calling themselves the Tea Party?””
Did the Tea Party call themselves “alt-right?” Hardly the same thing!
You should listen to the Virginia ACLU. Surprise. They are blaming the governor of Virginia and the city of Charlottesville.
The left resorts to violence once again.
Just as in Charlottesville...
Nope. I live in Maryland. @nd Amendment doesn’t apply here
Yes. HATE that term invented by Clinton. Also cannot stand the whitewash “antifa.”
Too bad “communist” isn’t the pejorative term it used to be. Bring back HUAC!!
Unfortunately, Western Civilization has lost the will to live and propagate itself. This is the biggest tragedy in the history of man.
Time to increase the prayer for Syracuse.
“What do we want? We want you to die.” The alien, `Independence Day’
Also, radical Afronauts, mooselimbs and masked, brownshirt `rats.’
There’s nothing racist about not wanting to get smoked.
How long before conservatives are placed in concentration camps? That seems to be the direction that we are headed in.
I'm not suggesting vandalism, that would be wrong. But I can't escape the observation that between spray paint and sledgehammers, somebody could make a serious statement about destroying monuments.
OK, here goes:
Malcolm X at the Audubon Ballroom in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan.
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is located in West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C.
Harvey Milk, San Francisco City Hall, San Francisco
Che Guevarra at Central Park's Doris C. Freedman Plaza
Just food for thought.
Well stated. It is easy for them to define the language, however, because they own (for the most part) the schools, universities, music, film, TV, publishing, newspapers, and news channels.
What are you talking about!
It’s EXACTLY the same thing!
