What is it about PRIVATE do they not understand. Isn’t there an ounce
of freedom left?

Liberals have no problems kicking Christians and conservatives to the curb but just try the reverse and see who screams loudest.

Problem is that it’s illegal. Liberty U has already backed off and is allowing the club to meet on campus.

Christians who are Democrats should be expected to explain on what basis they can support a party whose agenda is "abortion, federal funding of abortion, ... repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, ... the 'LGBT' agenda, Hate Crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity" and still call themselves Christians.

And it is a very sad thing that the democratic party has become an advocate for satan - supporting abortion on demand, pushing race and class hatred and divisions, supporting homosexuality, pornography (when all the pornographers band together to support your Party -- you have to wonder if you are walking in the right direction), Gaia idolatry, embryonic stem cell research (regardless of the fact that only adult stem cell work has been shown to be effective) and denigrating reverence for the God of the Bible (aka, The True God).
Here's praying and hoping that the RINOs don't push the republican party to emulate these attributes of the democrats - in order to win brownie points with the media (Psalms 118:8-9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.).

I attended a Christian college 1969-73. It did not accept federal dollars so that it would not have to answer to the feds. When the government saw they lost control of schools like this they broaden the definition of accepting federal dollars to include the students accepting student government loans. They now had control. Liberty and schools like them have lost their freedom to enforce standards that would reflect the identity of the school. Catholic hospitals, because of federal dollars, will have to perform abortions. It all about a creeping federal control of our lives which under Obama is becoming a rampaging federal control.

About time the Dems foundd out how it feels. Christian and Republican clubs get this all the time at 99.9% of this nation’s universities.

Liberty University in Lynchburg Virginia, thinks Jesus would limit certain First Amendment rights like freedom of speech and the right of assembly

False. The school is just not going to support them. I'm sure these same people can still meet out on the lawn and say whatever they want. They just can't say they are an officially recognized club at the school.

Liberals are only concerned with first amendment rights when it affects their own grand plans.

Jesus would limit certain First Amendment rights like freedom of speech and the right of assembly- Wrong; who is this schmuch author. Liberty University did NOT violate their 1st Amendment rights (they still have them), they just may not use the University name, nor facilities to conduct their activities (which a private university has every right to do), if the students don’t like it: Go off campus (rename their group), or leave the University, otherwise since this isn’t a STATE RUN U. but instead a Private Christian University; they can do what they want..!

The Democrat Party stands firmly in opposition to all conservative, traditional values. It is appropriate for Liberty University to deny such political poison any place on campus. The Democrats at the school can still support their vile candidates, just not on school property using the school’s time and dime.

I wonder how many Catholics understand that being a demo-rat is unchristian? Not to many at Notre Dame, I suspect.

So you would approve of private universities banning Republican organizations?

“Liberty University Fires Back at Liberal Media for Falsely Reporting It ‘Banned’ College Democrats”
Thursday, May 28, 2009
By Adam Brickley

SNIPPET: “Falwell, son of the university’s founder, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, explained: “Official recognition carries with it the benefit of using the university name and funds. While this group will not be an officially recognized club, it may still meet on campus.”

According to Falwell, Democratic clubs have existed at Liberty over the last several decades—but as unofficial student clubs not endorsed by the school.”
