I report to you from the trenches. No, not the ones in Iraq, though I wish our troops the very best in these trying times, I am reporting to you from the supposed heart of liberalism: academia. Yes, I am just another college student in the brave red Midwest. However, change is swirling in the wind as it promenades across campus. In it is the sweet smell of victory. Even here, liberalism is crumbling, succumbing to a more conservative status quo.
In an informal poll of people living in my dormitory, nearly as many voted for Bush as for Kerry; and this is a traditionally liberal university! I am glad to see it, too. No longer are my Evangelical brethren condemnded for spreading the Good Word. They may now harrass international students and freshman with near impunity, for their cause is just, it being ordained by the Lord.
As on television and other forms of mass media, intelligent debate has been replaced with quick soundbites between more-or-less liberal students and their more conservative moral superiors. The liberals on campus have proven themselves unworthy of genuine debate; their arguments never amount to more than ad hominem attacks against Bush's intelligence and integrity.
Professors and the university administration now follow a tacit agreement, and that is to avoid controversy and conserve the status quo. Teaching about such ideas as socialism and moral relativism has been sidelined, finally. Ignorance is an acceptable substitute for offering students all points of view and allowing them to form their own conclusions. After all, when young people begin thinking for themselves, burning draft cards and general unrest are not far behind.
Ladies and gentlemen, now is an exciting time to be a conservative!
READ it carefully.
Where's the Erik Estrada pic? This thread is screaming out for it...
"No longer are my Evangelical brethren condemnded for spreading the Good Word. They may now harrass international students and freshman with near impunity, for their cause is just, it being ordained by the Lord." ..for instance.
Thanks for the good report! So kind of you!

its too much fun to ZOT
I don't care it bordered on ZOT, and I've been waiting for days to drop my nuke on someone lol.
I give it a 5
i spent so much time watching the viking kittys that i was usre the thread would be gone when i returned, but its still here for more abuse
:^)
HA!!
Easy enough question for an "academic".
...where do they come from. :o)
I harass international students and freshmen all the time. Particularly the liberal ones. :)
and I'm not even really an 'Evangelical'...
Fat chance, BoyToy. The Lefties run the show, and have all the tenure over there in Academia-ville. How many conservative proffesors do you really know, genius?
So,did one of your Humanities profs write this for you? I bet! You're such a clever chap!
this is one tough thread. the cannon didn't get it, now the a-bomb, and its still going. only one thing left to do, send it to the UN and let them discuss it to death
