LOL!!
"Openly Republican". That's beautiful.
Might just print that out and make some sort of bumper sticker for my American car.
I love it.
More evidence of liberals becoming violent when their views aren't worshiped. It makes it obvious why liberals fear conservatives, calling them Fascists, etc. They are afraid that conservatives will act like themselves.
It is a bit hard to tell what OPENLY REPUBLICAN means any more. Liberal? Conservative? Moderate? At least when you say LIBERAL or DEMOCRAT, you know exactly what you are getting --- :-)
It was one thing to disagree, it was another to attack non sensically without creating a forum for discussion-which was non existant, even though that school touts seminars for students to discuss as a big feature. What usually ends up is that they discuss what the faculty is comfortable with and 99.9% are either commies, socialist or just plain ole' Dems.
I pray other college students have the courage to fight back as we move forward. Ironically this may happen on some of the most liberal campuses in the country-mainly because--whether one agrees with the liberals or not, NOT!-- those colleges can attract very political minded people and if even one turns around, they can be of help to challenge and make other libs think through issues from a conservative perspective.
Their voices will become strong as they will have to fight in the trenches. They also have a story of change that people like to listen too--they have been a liberal and now they know exactly why they are conservative. I am sure that there were many more conservatives that kept their mouth shut in that school as well--now that I have been on the receiving end in graduate school of being conservative in a very liberal environment.
I love that James has always been a devout conservative though, cudos! Smart guy! Because he didn't flinch he created change.
Now, I understand that the vast majority of the faculty and a majority of the students at Yale have gone over to the dark side. I also gather that honest debate has given way to emotional attacks and insults. A sad fate for a once-great university.
I have deep admiration for this writer for going onto this campus, swimming against the stream, and making a serious mark. It certainly has not been easy for him.
P.S. My primary is over, but because of certain legal and ethical problems, the incumbent, Charles Taylor may withdraw/be forced out, and I am in the running to be chosen as the replacement nominee for Congress in the 11th District of NC. For more information, see the article below, and my website. I still need your help.

I spend at least one day a month on campus at New College. It has a remarkable scholastic reputation and its curriculum is driven by students. Certainly a Berkely of the East Coast, James and others are breaking down the stereotype of educated as Marxist. It never was anyway.
You go, James.
I've never liked this saying. I was well on my way to shedding my liberal brainwashing when I entered high school. It's been nothing but a journey to the right since then. I always thought of people who were liberal when they were 20 or older as either being stupid, naive, willfully uninformed, out of touch with reality, condescending, narrow-minded, smug, paternalistic, racist, a power-hungry liar, or some combination of those things.
I think the university system in America is the root of America's downfall.
He probably is poking a stick in the eye of the "enviromental studies" type in that discipline, so more power to him. Just the same, a very well written article - I hope he keeps writing.
