Perhaps. A fight is no guarantor of victory.

This chick had better start packing for the gulag. She’ll be dangerous to The One when he begins to RULE.

...makes me proud to be a Yalie, again.

This selfish entitlement generation won’t read it. At best, they’ll look up fleetingly from their XBoxes and say something like:

“Whatever dude” or “My Bad”

...that is until the conscriptment police come to yank them off the couch and press them into servitude along some highway somewhere.

Let us restore the commitment to fight for what is right and to define right and wrong in the hopes of combating the toxic relativism that has quenched the thirst of those too weak to stand up for true morality.

The flame still flickers among the few young who understand the essence of this nation. Let us hope that there are enough kindred spirits who will see this country through the challenges that threaten to quell the light of liberty.

This chick has to be a FReeper, no where else at her Liberal school would she have found out that information.

a minor grammatical error is the only thing you can comment on in this brilliant article? you got to be kidding?

Exactly! We had a basketball team that went far beyond the expectations of anyone in the school district. Their English teacher sent them each a card that said, "You Done Good!" The girls laughed and put that card in their scrapbooks. The author wasn't necessarily the originator of the title. Papers put their own spin into that creation.

She had me rocking and rolling in my seat, shouting HELL YEAH!, until the following sentence.

"Let us work without shame to proudly ensure the restoration of unity within our party".

I would have much preferred, Let us work without shame to proudly ensure the restoration of Constitutionally based unity within our Republic!

When Rome finally fell in a bloodless coup to invaders from the north, the citizens of Rome were only concerned that the games continue and that there be free bread in the marketplace. The invaders assessed those Romans correctly - “They are fit to be slaves.”

It was a good opinion piece, and I was just kidding.

What a brave young lady. You can follow the link and read her opinion piece and post a reply of support. As you can imagine the left wing nuts are having a field day!

A true act of courage consists not of heeding the dares of a mad and sycophantic crowd but of denying them their satisfaction and rebuking them besides. I suspect the author will be made to pay for her apostasy. But for a young person, such courage as hers is rare and is to be encouraged.

The author, Miss Elizabeth Moore, according to the Yale website, is a Senior at Jonathan Edwards College. A Yale Residential college.

The Coat of Arms and it's meaning:

The green rearing lion symbolizes courage and purity of heart. Its crimson tongue and nails exhibit willingness to pursue its goals with passion both of speech and strength. The veil of white that surrounds the lion symbolizes the Grace of God, and the other eleven residential colleges are represented by the eleven black daggers (a later modification of the crest).

I guess she take its meaning to heart.

Glad to see some of Buckley’s tradition of conservatism lives on at Yale, even tho it doesn’t in his own family.

Yalies no doubt went 9:1 for Obama’s promise of Hope and Change .... yet these very students who worked their sorry arses off and entered severe competed for admission to that institution seem incapable of relating that exercise to those who work in the marketplace to earn a higher income only to get stuck with paying higher taxes to support and subsidize the lazy.

In the future, maybe Yale and other vaunted institutions of ‘higher learning’ should change their admissions policy to accept randomly every twelfth applicant instead of by silly objective data like grades and SAT scores, and even essays. Let’s have a little more egalitarianism in the Ivy’s.

will keep the hate, the divisiveness, and the fear that we’ve grown so accustomed to over the past 8 years around for a little longer de(in)spite America’s call to change

Well, for goodness sake you SHOULD have grown accustomed to it -- you were the ones PROMULGATING it!
