I love AOC! She is a laugh a minute. And her photos?

The word caricature in the dictionary has her picture next to it.

She is her own caricature

AOC has staff that post her tweets. She’s not smart enough to find the data “she” posts.

I think a presentation by AOC of her politics (socialism) at Liberty would be a great idea.

The reason the Left is afraid of free speech is because it knows (either consciously, unconsciously, or both) that its ideas cannot stand up to scrutiny and challenge in the real world.

Liberty University isn't afraid of such challenge to its ideas and beliefs.

In fact, the more the truth is challenged, the better it looks and the more it spreads.

The best thing our country can do is invite socialism into public debate. Every university where students claim to believe in socialism should hold debates comparing it to free market concepts.

When students and faculty see it for what it really is, it will be discarded.

Need to take her seriously. The Dems are scared shitless of her. Won’t be long and she’ll be running the entire show. Sad days are coming.

I respect your opinions....
....here’s my point

AOC is 24/7 on all the mainstream media, even Fox
Her opinions are out there.....you can’t miss them

But deserving conservative opinions are NOT wanted or voiced, at most levels, on mainstream media.......or college/university forums

Also, the recent campaign finance shell game AOC and her chief of staff just pulled.....( and probably get away with) and we’re talking close to a million dollars......

WAS NOT EVEN MENTIONED ON MSM!

So I say NO!!!!!!!!!.....Do NOT give AOC or Van Jones invites to our conservative forums
UNTIL AND IF
They reciprocate.....
....

Let's frame this issue in another way.

Imagine that you are a new freshman and you discover that your college has 3 speakers and debate clubs. Each club invites speakers and then after each speaker is done, the members of the club debate the ideas presented.

Club #1, the Liberal Club, has decided to ONLY PERMIT Liberal speakers.

Club #2, the Conservative Club, has decided that since the Liberal Club only permits Liberal speakers, it will only permit Conservative speakers.

Club #3, the Best Ideas Club, allows speakers from all kinds of ideologies--Liberal, Conservative, or otherwise--and, after each speech, club members ferociously debate the merits and disadvantages of the ideas presented.

The motto of Club #3 is "May the Best Ideas Win."

Oddly enough, the ideas that win at Club #3 are Conservative ideas because after each ferocious debate, they emerge as most conducive to success, learning, achievement, and rational thinking.

Liberal ideas, on the other hand, never seem to survive debate because they are not based in reality, thrive only when no other ideas are allow to compete against them, and generally encourage weakness and failure.

Which Speakers and Debate Club would you want to join?

All due respect.....that’s a straw man Rooster

Obviously, we all should want Club # 3

BUT

Main line colleges don’t respect or welcome ‘Club # 3

I beg to differ. Those are not straw men.

Liberal colleges offer Club #1, you suggest Conservative colleges offer Club #2 (because Liberal colleges offer Club #1), and Liberty University is planning to offer Club #3.

Most libs AND the media take stuff out of context, yes it is a lie on its face when used for deception.

As far as going to Liberty, AOC will never go where she can be shown to be herself, an idiot.

Finally, where are all the media and Dems hand wringing over all the twits daily tweets?
