Why are there quotation marks in the article's following sentence?
Because the devious, left-wing little barebacker is trying to raise suspicion against legal and moral activity that supports the campus conservative movement nationwide.
Another cheap Rat-bastard from the New York Times. Notice the first guy he went to for color analysis was David Brock. Enough said.
Be Seeing You,

It can be disorienting to hear conservatism advanced as the ideology that frees women,
Disorienting, only to a leftist.

In a weird way, being right wing, is starting to become the equal of being left wing back in the 50 or early 60's. Its the renagade rebel thing. When I was in college, I used to love provoking my socialist teachers, the fact that they couldn't debate themselves out of a brown paper bag, made it even better.I got a kick out of calling my self an anti-environmentalist.
Honestly, I'm grown up now, but the fact is, being right, and being a rebel, do have an appeal, when idiots are around, you will always have the urge to show them up, and being smarter, and different, does have a awesome appeal.

It seems like the writer is trying to tell us: SOMETHING MORE DEVIOUS THAN YOU KNOW IS ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE -- when, in fact, it sounds to me like: grants, conseravative leadership and publishing programs. And, no quotation marks are necessary.Yes. The writer is trying to tell us that conservative campus groups can ONLY survive with outside funding, that conservatism (i.e., anti-liberalism) is therefore not legitimate. Of course, the writer fails to mention the MASSIVE funding that liberal groups have from outside the campus, as well.

You
have to read this one. BUMP!
''As the conservatives have become more prominent, other students are more prone to believe that they are being indoctrinated,'' Schneider says. ''So the openness of a number of students to new ideas and new ways of looking at things has actually moved in a disturbing direction. Students are much more willing to write off something as 'liberal talk' -- oh, I don't need to think about that, that's just ideology -- as opposed to thinking, in a complex way, about all of the different ideas and evaluating them.'' Kim Daubman, a social psychology professor, concurs. Recently she taught a class in which she talked about the theory that news coverage of warfare in Iraq could lead to a rise in homicides in the United States. ''I could see the students rolling their eyes,'' she says. ''I could just hear them thinking, 'Oh, there she goes again!'''
Hahahahaha!

Don't forget the part where he implies that these kids are only automaton mouthpieces for the eeeeevil right wing.
Also, and I mean no offense, but when did Bucknell become an "elite" college? Maybe it's my West Coast ignorance kicking in.

When I was in college, we would have fencing matches against NJIT.
I think tech schools are immune to some of this crap. As, I later discovered, conservatories are.

The author's biases shine through in so many places:
"Today, most campus conservatives who hope to be effective won't dress like George Bush or Dick Cheney. The idea is to dress like a young person. When the Bucknell conservatives assemble for their weekly meetings, they look like a typical, if all-white, sampling of American undergraduates, which is to say, there are plenty of ragged T-shirts, backward baseball caps and frayed jeans in the room."
Obviously the underlying assumption that young people dressing like young people is some kind of evil plot planned by the VRWC.

Recently she taught a class in which she talked about the theory that news coverage of warfare in Iraq could lead to a rise in homicides in the United States. ''I could see the students rolling their eyes,'' she says. ''I could just hear them thinking, 'Oh, there she goes again!''' Well, as a matter of fact, "There she goes again! Yes, I do roll my eyes to that. Who's theory is that, hers? Norman Mailer's? Vermont Governor Dean's? Peter Jennings? Why not discuss, "Bush, does he starve old people and kill babies, or starve babies and kill old people?" I'd like to see how war coverage will increase domestic homicide. Studies have shown, that in times of national stress, and especially war, people tend to rally 'round the flag and stick together, promoting less, not more domestic violence. But let's not confuse the leftists with facts, and certainly don't roll your eyes when they blather on.

When I was their age I worked as a bartender in a hip, upscale restaurant/bar. I was the original hipublican. I occasionally shocked co-workers and customers who just naturally assumed that I was liberal because I was with highly informed, trendy, er liberal, type people all night every night. Of course rule number one when tending bar: Talk about sports or sex. Not politics or religion.

"

Those photos are terrible. They look like a bunch of Nazis. Just what the photographer and writer wanted. The kids should have demanded final approval for any photo used in the article.
When the Bucknell conservatives assemble for their weekly meetings, they look like a typical, if all-white, sampling of American undergraduates The sentence seemed to imply that the Bucknell conservatives either appealed only to white American undergrads or only allowed those to join. Also, the pictures chosen were unflattering. So, I looked up Bucknell University and found that only about 13% of their student body belong to a racial minority, so it is easy for a small club not to be "representative" of the races, emotional states, or anything else.

So...what kind of grades did they give you? In my experience in dealing with liberals who have power over you, they pretend they respect your position...until the grades come out.
But now that I am in the adult world where people pay taxes, the minority of people where I work are liberal and I can provoke them pretty much all I want.
A bit off subject but in my attempts at provoking, I find that some liberals are pissed off about our appeasement of the illegal border crossers--this to me was suprising
