Here are a few links to articles discussing the increasing numbers and influence of conservatives on campus:

Conservatives at Yale
Leftist whining at Penn State
More whining at Berkeley -- too many conservatives on campus.
A Harvard leftist muses sophomorically about how to counter the increasingly effective conservatives there.

Here's the Young Americans for Freedom site.

Are most college campuses owned and operated by leftist totalitarians? Sure. But there's a growing resistance movement almost anywhere you care to look.

This kid isn't swallowing the 'diversity' scam... and this one reacted to the thought police by signing up with our side...

When I say that the influence of the campus leftists is waning, I don't mean that their power base is threatened -- yet.

But fewer students are buying what they're selling.

CPAC this year was flooded with unprecedented numbers of college-age conservatives. They lined up for 50 yards to get books autographed by people like Ollie North, Dr. Laura and Charlton Heston.

Are these kids smeared and marginalized back at their schools? Yep. Will there be more at CPAC next year? Yep again.

And this is just the sort of thing we should help along, instead of moaning about the awfulness of it all.

"When I say that the influence of the campus leftists is waning, I don't mean that their power base is threatened -- yet."......Let me know when their "power base" is threatened! As long as the overall cirriculum is lefty-socialist, the overwhelming percentage of students coming out of the schools are dense fools, nearly completely adverse to capitalism and ensconsed in values-neutral bull.

"But fewer students are buying what they're selling."..Sure!!! Anecdotes don't do it. Prove it.

"And this is just the sort of thing we should help along, instead of moaning about the awfulness of it all. ...."Moaning"....speaking of corteous! Hey Pollyanna, you must have had an authority figure in your life who was constantly correcting you. You can't handle the truth very easily. You serve our purpose poorly.

Thanks for your anecdotal "evidence", but I could give you dozens for every one of yours that illuminate the desperate socialist lean on highschool and college campuses. Keep your head in the sand, as others will try to sound an alarm, but I guess in your frame of mind, you will refer to it as moaning. The only thing that matters is the numbers of conservatives and liberals that exit schools after 16 years of indoctrination. The exit numbers are overwhelmingly liberal, and the voting base gets worse every year. It is only when these indoctrinated children get out in the world, that they find their liberal Gods have given them a pile of dung that serves them and their families poorly and steals their hard-earned money! Wake up.
