I will, as soon as you stop being Jared Taylor's butt-buddy.

Since I do not understand your reference in the least, I'll let you retain the honor...

Hello. I am a member of the Bowdoin College Republicans and I have to say that the Democrats here are more hypocritical and backwards then one can imagine. Mr. Robinson's speech was extremely interesting and what he said was contraversial, but in no way any more so then the speeches of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I found his prespective refreshing in a world where many follow the crowd rather then their ideals. If anything, he was far less inflamitory than he could have been. To claim that you are for free speech and the eradication of descrimination, as the Democrats here claim, and then critisize us for having Mr. Robinson is outrageous. Hypocritical is the best word to describe this liberal phenomenon. If Democrats believe that a speaker talking of pro-life, the sanctity of marraige, and improving education in America should not be allowed to speak at a Liberal Arts college like Bowdoin, then they need to reconsider their own views and stop distorting what America truly is.

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was once president of Bowdoin College. Chamberlain is the epitome of the soldier-citizen ideal. With no prior military experience, he became a dang fine commander.

A shame that the NC-05 voters picked a white RINO to represent them. Vernon Robinson would have been one heck of a Congresscritter.

I have great respect for Chamberlin. His performance was inspiring - family man, educator, turned soldier. Little Round Top is hallowed ground. In most accounts and depictions, I have always thought they sold Strong Vincent a little short. He doesn't get all the glory, but he was in the fight, too. Gods and Generals depicted Chamberlin quite well, though one speech by Chamberlin at Fredericksburg (I think) was a bit rehearsed.

Congratulations on sticking to your guns. I have run into more name-calling by hypocritical leftists over the years than you can imagine.

Many of those on the left usually will not address the substance of what's being said, rather sticking with the emotional and personal attacks tied to such venomous language.

Keep the faith, and the good guys will win in the end...
