VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Texas Senator Ted Cruz said the upcoming presidential election is now more important than ever when it comes to defending the Bill of Rights. Cruz was in Virginia Beach, Va., at Regent University's Presidential Candidate Forum courting evangelicals ahead of Super Tuesday, March 1. "Just a few days ago I attended Justice Scalia's funeral. And his passing underscores that the stakes of this presidential election are not just one, but two branches of government," Cruz noted. "We are one liberal justice away from a five-justice left wing majority, the likes of which this country has never...

Young America’s Foundation is pleased to release the sixth annual “Top Conservative College” list in response to the frequently asked question by parents and students of which schools we recommend to those seeking conservative colleges. A wide variety of rankings exist for the market of American colleges and universities. Each year, U.S. News & World Report releases its “America’s Best Colleges” edition. The magazine grades each institution based on factors including peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, and student selectivity. Yet, U.S. News does not rank the overall experience that colleges offer. That is why Young America’s Foundation...

A new report produced by a branch of the Virginia State Police portrays the state's colleges and universities as potential breeding grounds for terrorism. The 200-page report, intended for distribution to law enforcement, intelligence and military organizations, says "a wide variety of terror or extremist groups" have links to Hampton Roads and singles out the area's two historically black universities for special mention. It also cites the region's "diverse population due to the strong military presence." In addition, it mentions Regent University, an evangelical Christian school in Virginia Beach, and a Chesapeake-based anti-abortion group. The report acknowledges that none of...

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A Regent University law student who posted an unflattering photo of Regent president Pat Robertson on his Facebook page has been indefinitely suspended pending a psychiatric evaluation. Adam M. Key was told by a dean in an e-mail Friday that he was concerned about Key's "emotional well-being" and that several students have recently expressed concern about Key's "interpersonal behavior." The students "have reported, among other things, that you said that you brought a gun on campus, which is a violation of University policy," said the e-mail, signed by associate dean of students L.O. Natt Gantt. Gantt...

Giuliani gets a standing ovation at Pat Robertson's university. It was June 26, and Rudy Giuliani was surprised. This was his first visit to Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the headquarters of televangelist and onetime GOP presidential candidate Pat Robertson's media and education efforts. The Regent campus was much larger than Giuliani had expected. The former New York City mayor was at Regent to participate in the school's executive leadership speaking series. For the pro-choice Giuliani, the speech at Regent demonstrated his willingness to campaign anywhere, including before religious conservatives, for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. Robertson, the host...

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Mayor Giuliani's battle to win over social conservatives in the Republican Party may not be the impossible task that many political pundits have predicted. That certainly appeared to be the case yesterday at Regent University, the Christian college founded by evangelist Pat Robertson, where Mr. Giuliani's message of leadership and strength on terrorism met with a standing ovation. In a 30-minute address to more than 650 students and business leaders, Mr. Giuliani never uttered the word abortion, nor did he make any other direct reference to the social issues on which his moderate positions are largely...

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday accused former President Clinton of not responding forcefully enough to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing or later terrorist attacks. The former New York mayor criticized Democrats, accusing them of weakness and naivete in dealing with terrorism. Giuliani made the comments to about 650 business, corporate and political leaders at Regent University, the conservative Christian college founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson. "Islamic terrorists killed more than 500 Americans before Sept. 11. Many people think the first attack on America was on Sept. 11, 2001. It was not....

During her testimony before the House Judiciary Committee testimony Dem congressman Steven Cohen of Tennessee quizzed former Justice Department official Monica Goodling regarding her Christian faith and the Christian law school at Regent University, founded by Pat Robertson, that she attended. An internet search reveals brief references to the interrogation in articles by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post and Maura Reynolds in the Los Angeles Times. But I saw no coverage of the grilling on any of the morning news shows, nor have CNN or MSNBC picked it up as far as I have noticed. I'm setting forth...

http://www.regent.edu/events/commencement/2007/video_high.cfm The clip of Mitt begins at 29:00. It's an excellent, well-delivered speech, even moving. Much better than a lecture on the Palestinian rights I received at mine. Some excerpts: "You know, I don't remember when it was exactly when I went beyond the sandbar. My family had a cottage on the shores of one of the Great Lakes. For the first 40 feet or so, the lake is shallow, warm, and protected from the big waves by a sandbar. That's where I spent most of the hot summer days as a boy. I liked it there. One day, my...

CBNNews.com - Virginia Beach, Va - Before the celebrating came the turning of tassels and accepting this charge: "I want you to strive for greatness through service," said CBN founder Pat Robertson. The largest class in Regent's history sang a hymn bowed their heads in prayer. "Father," prayed Pastor Jack Hayford. "We come with hearts of gratitude for each of these graduates." {snip} Some say they were initially skeptical about having a Mormon address a Christian audience. "There were some people who were alarmed," said Regent graduate Cassy McLauchlin. "I was surprised because I just didn't think he was the...

Under the Regent University banner, former Massachusetts governor and 2008 Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Saturday told the school's largest-ever graduating class to reach past the sandbar and live in the deep waters of life. "In the deep water, life is about others. In the deep water, there are challenging ideas," Romney told the class of 1,005 students and nearly 4,000 friends, family members and faculty. "Some of you will be tempted to stay near shore, where there are no breakers and you can't make any waves." Romney's 13-minute commencement address was especially significant because the Mormon presidential aspirant...

Member campuses of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) are helping students displaced by Hurricane Katrina in anyway they can, through extending fall registration dates, collecting donations for affected campuses, offering free fall tuition, and sending volunteer student teams to disaster areas, according to a report released by the Council. Since the hurricane hit the Gulf Coast on Aug. 31, the United Christian College Fund (UCCF) – the fundraising arm of the CCCU – has been working in collaboration with Christian accrediting agencies including the Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) and the Association of Theological Schools (ATS)...

How much does Senator George Allen really want to cozy up to Pat Robertson? Pat Robertson's comments on ABC This Week, on May 1st, about the judiciary being more dangerous than Islamic terrorists has made waves all week, including references to it, today, on Meet the Press and FOX News Sunday, along with a new moveon.org commercial. Robertson's rhetoric about terrorists didn't particularly rattle me. Seemed like the same 'ole Robertson to me, trying to maintain his relevance by acting increasingly loopier, as the years go on. Seemed kind of sad and pathetic, actually. What I found of interest were...

In the past few years, religious conservatives have realized what their liberal counterparts saw long ago: The place where the culture wars are won or lost is in the courtroom. Some religious leaders, including Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, have set up schools to train their own battalion of lawyers. Regent University School of Law: Founded by televangelist Pat Robertson, Regent University School of Law was established in 1986 as a full-time, three-year law program. It gained full accreditation from the American Bar Association (ABA) in 1996 -- the first religiously conservative law school to do so. Today, 500 students...
