Horowitz, who spoke on "The Campus Fifth Column," warned that winning the war against terrorism must include winning American campuses away from the left. "This is an intellectual conference" at a major university, where freedom of speech and the free debate of ideas should be taken for granted, he said, opening his talk. "The need for security here today is a disgrace."

Horowitz noted that Columbia was "a freer campus, a far freer campus," when he entered as a freshman in 1955 at the height of the Cold War during the allegedly repressive McCarthy era, "than it is today." How did that come to be? "Sometime in the 1970s, the hate-America left captured America. The coastal elites and the Democratic Party lost their faith in this country."

You would be hard pressed to find another environment which has such a one sided extreme orthodoxy enforced than the American college campus. Not a church, not the military, not even the biased media.
