The essence of being a liberal:
“The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.” ~ Ann Coulter

"Free speech is a one-way ratchet for traitors!" ~ Ann again! Is that women ever wrong ?!?!

It says "SFSU" - however, my eyes saw "STFU". I think the latter is more appropriate.

For some reason this reminds me of a Soviet-era joke. A
Russian and an American having a conversation.
"In the US," says the American, "we have freedom of speech.
I can go to the Washington Mall, and yell 'Down
with Reagan!', and they can't prosecute me."

"O, we have the same freedom", says the Russian. "I, too,
can stand on the Red Square and yell 'Down with Reagan',
and they won't touch me."

Me too!!! When I read the article, it is indeed more appropriate. What a bunch of lunatics.

At least that College Republican group is willing to create controversy, too many are complacent.

I hope they really ratchet up the nonsense, they expose themselves for the Stalinists that they are, and the people on the receiving end will never forget it.

Agree.
Pi$$ on self-proclaimed pandering 'conservatives' afraid of both the left & of fighting it on its own chosen terms.

Newsflash for CINO's (RINO's & red-Tories up here):
Conservatives who stand firm as same generally win elections while voters who want to support liberals usually won't settle for 'liberal-lite'.

Creating controversy is not the goal. Anger belittles us.

Fight for what is right, but do so calmly, because you are right. Your position IS defensible.

Right?

:-)

Ann Coulter also called public schools "The Madrassas of the Left."

Slightly off topic, but why are most of our public institutions incubators of rabid leftism?

Where can find something that says "Allah" in Arabic to pee on?

Because Lefties went there to avoid the draft during Vietnam, then stayed there to make it a career. Those guys are getting old, but guess what sort of they grant tenure to... more commie pinkos like themselves!
Besides, Conservatives usually have better things to do, like making money!

Ann has her trigger finger up too far over the trigger, up to the first joint. It should be placed centered between the tip and the joint. If I were just there, I could stand behind her and gently reach around.........

"Creating controversy is not the goal. Anger belittles us.

What's the goal?

Whatever the goal you are referring to, the conservatives are not achieving it on campuses. Why are almost all the college campuses left wing? Why do I hear every day in college that "communism works in theory"? Is this according to plan?

Well, of course the big reason why these campuses are liberal is because faculty ratios are like 7-1 liberal to conservative philosophies. The College Republicans have their back to the walls, if they don't fight back; there goes the only conservative voice on campus.

I actually didn't mean complacent=nice, I meant complacent=inactive. Conservatives are right most of the time; it should be easy for the conservative students to be enthusiastic about their positions with more confidence.

The point is this, the College Republican group did something great! They showed the hypocrisies of view on free speech concerning flag burning in an interesting and news worthy way. What they did is they gave us a story with evidence of the hypocrisy, if the CR club was complacent and inactive, there would be no story, no talk, and no persuasion.

I just thought would congratulate this group for doing something bold and right. Keep fighting the good fight!
