"The point of higher education is to open your eyes, not to further close them to the possibility of new ideas."
And this is why all conservative speakers are protested/boycotted. Hmmm. Somebody let us know when Ben will be on Dennis Miller's show. I actually like it. He can deliver some real zingers.
What we need to do is rally together to make him #1.
We did it for Clay Aiken (by "we" I mean Claymates)last year.
1. Tell everyone on FR to check it out
2. Once we get some reviews from other FR guys we start the buying blitz
3. We link this book to every website we can find
4. spreading the word comes in many forms not just speech; so work on a list
5. write to favorite TV and newspapers to boost his sales by them mentioning it. This must be done many times.
6. make sure we ALL buy the book or more than one copy. *gift ideas* Fathers Day is just around the corner.
Can you obtain permission from the author/publisher to possibly post a decent excerpt...enough to maybe whet the appetites of some here to buy the book..
Direct link to the book on Amazon ( you gave the general Amazon link):
Ben Shapiro: Brainwashed: How Universities Idoctrinate Ameica's Youth".
I haven't read the book, but reading about it I'm guessing at what he says, and I'm here to report that my own experience isn't as bad as one might expect. I sit in on classes at two major universities from time to time. (One of these is renowned for its left wing bias.) Yes, the professors tend to be left, but not all are, and the ones that are almost universally welcome challenges.

I saw this young man on Scarborough (I think) last night and he was brilliant - so well spoken.
Big BUMP for Ben Shapiro!
Sounds like a terrific read by our fellow freeper; thanks for the post.
Diversity gone mad!
Let's plan a Freeper field trip for those of us in the LA area for when Ben is on the Dennis Miller show!L.A. Chapter ROAD TRIP!
(Once we know the exact date.)From www.dennismillerinfo.com:
To get free tickets to the tapings of the Dennis Miller show, to be a part of his live studio audience and to see Dennis in person, phone (323) 653-4105 - or just click here.
You'll be able to print the tickets out right on your own computer's printer.
If you prefer, you can pick up your tickets in person at CBS Television City in Hollywood, where they tape the show. Tickets may be available starting two weeks prior to the taping day, up to the day before the taping.
But we aware that during the busy tourist season, the studio ticket window might run out of tickets.
Or you can write for tickets. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to:
CBS Tickets - Dennis Miller Live
CBS Television City
7800 Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036Include a note saying you want tickets for Dennis Miller Live, and be sure to specify how many tickets you need, and the date you would like to attend. And send the letter at least a month in advance.
But the easiest way is to just get them online, at TV Tix.com. Then you'll know for certain that you have your tickets in hand - as watch them roll out of your computer printer.
Ben is great! I read him on Townhall.com
I've sold a few thousand just by word of mouth already with no distribution deal, but it would certainly be nice to be carried on WND. EF&D could do for conservative fiction what Clancy did for the then-new genre, the techno-thriller, or what Ann Coulter did for political non-fiction. But it's going to take someone with imagination to understand the potential and seize the opportunity.
By the way, folks can read the first 20 chapters on line free at any time to kick the tires and see what it's all about.
You can also read some of the 40 Amazon reviews HERE.
That's very cool. Congratulations, Ben!!!
I'm not in LA, but sure would like to watch when Ben is on with Dennis.
If you make a ping list, please put me on it.
Thanks for the heads up about the book. I can't remember Ben's screen name offhand (and wouldn't tell if I did), but I remember his first post here on FR -- I was very impressed -- and have recognized and enjoyed his posts ever since.
Congratulations, Ben!
I am curious as to what he writes about the sciences, engineering and business.
find later bump
Good for him, I'm glad his book is a success! I've heard him on the radio a few times and for sure, this bright young guy has got it going on!
Just saw him on Fox News, what an impressive young man. He did terrific!!
I'm in. I also posted a 5-star review on Amazon.
