He spoke at our first college Republicans meeting of the year way back in September or October. His speech was long--I think 65 to 70 minutes--but he gave amazingly intelligent dissertation. I was impressed.
horowitz always has his ducks in a row before he shoots.
i own most of his books.
I think leftists seek professorships because they're afraid to leave the campus. I mean, what else can they do? Plus they get to indoctrinate young minds.

For sure and my assertion too, for a long time. The utopian world of text books and pseudo-reality is far more comfortable to the meek and weak (liberal academia) souls who would rather limit thier life to words on paper, rather than facing the real world, head to head, with non-utopians.
Welcome precisely to leftist academia. The land of Oz.
It gives them a sheltered institution, a chance for tenure at the spigot of public funding, and they get a position of authority over the innocent and uninitiated. Where else could they go to spout wild ideas and get paid for it while being listened to attentively?
Academia: a refuge for the mediocre-to-piss-poor-liberal-progressive-demokkkRAT-socialist-commie-nazi-fascist-islamofascist-tyrant-murderer-homo-dictator-subhuman filth.
Y-a-w-n.
He is a lefty who converted so he knows all about their insanity and tilts. He is probably their worst enemy.
If the Alumni quit contributing to these left wing brain washing universities this crap would stop overnight
David Horowitz is wonderful. Hard worker too. He's never stopped growing and learning and thinking. He'll be 20 when he's 100.
It's not so much that Stanford is conservative, but that as it's more a gigantic research lab, with probably more adults on campus at any one time than younger students, it tends not to be the hotbed that Berkeley tended to be (don't know if it still is). But there's no question that there is not merely a pro-Muslim bent in many of 'soft sciences' departments, but that you can see virtual pro-terrorist lectures, on occasion, if the flyers posted on these doors and walkway boards are any indication. I wish I'd known about Horowitz. I would have loved to have been there.
I have all of his books, from Prodigal Son to Unholy Wars. Horowitz was instrumental in my conversion from left to right. Quite an articulate, intelligent man.
yep.
i rather enjoyed what he had to say about robert scheer of the los angeles times circa 1970!
scheer wanted to translate the elder kim's korean books for americans! unbelievable.
meanwhile, scheer was making a $100k at ramparts, got fired, moved on to tell some true believer that she was a loser, while he lived the good life with a house and a ocean-going boat tied up in back on the huntington beach, ca harbor!
David Horowitz is a national treasure. His web site Frontpagemagazine is a wonderful source of conservative opinion. His work to "integrate" liberal academia with conservative scholars is beginning to bear fruit.
Very good point by Mr Horowitz, but something that is not being done at many institutions around the country.
BUMP
