“Indoctrinate U”, a new film by Evan Maloney

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Evan Maloney, a friend and an excellent film maker, has announced that his film is ready for distribution. His film will help educate people about the Left’s takeover of college campuses and their squashing of dissent. The film is called, “Indoctrinate U.”

Please help get the drum beat going for “Indoctrinate U” and help us win the battle for college campuses. http://www.Indoctrinate-U.com/

You can help by visiting his website, signing up to attend a screening and generally helping spread the word around the country through your own networks about the film.

This is one way we can all help educate people about the problem, and generate even more interest in the organizations and people who are trying to improve the campus climate for conservatives.

Renaming the War on Terrorism

Monday, March 12th, 2007

I posted a piece about how we should rename the War on Terrorism to “The War on Al Qaeda and its Allies.”

You can vote for the article to appear in The Politico print edition by clicking here.

It is the fourth story from the top.

Political Winds Shifting on Iraq?

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Hat tip to Power Line blog for posting this great video of Congressman Obey (D-WI) berating “idiot liberals” on their demands to stop funding the war against al Qaeda and its allies.

Only time will tell if the troop surge will work. In the mean time, I think it’s clear that the Democrats will not be stopping the funding of the war.

Ann Coulter should not speak at CPAC

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

After last year’s remarks, calling Muslims “ragheads” and this year’s remark, calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC, Ann Coulter has solidified her reputation as a bigoted, loud-mouthed shock pundit whom true conservatives should ostracize.

As I watched her on C-SPAN today I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. On national television Coulter went out of her way to use a word that has no use, other than to hurt, offend and degrade. It wasn’t funny, and it wasn’t cute. It was stupid. The sad part is that some self-professed conservatives clapped and laughed and cheered for her. Shame on them.

CPAC should not invite Coulter back to speak, and organizations should not promote her as a writer nor as a speaker. I used to recommend her to students as a resource, but I will no longer do so.

Segregation is so fifties… or so I thought

Even more disturbing were conversations I had at a bar in Adams Morgan later on. There were a handful of kids wearing George Wallace buttons who were extolling the virtues of segregation and saying blacks and Hispanics had lower intelligence quotients. Their racism clearly influenced their views on illegal immigration policy. By the way, these guys were the loudest supporters of Tom Tancredo for president.

How, in 2007, anyone could hold such views and proudly display the image of a man (George Wallace) who represents hatred, discrimination and white supremacy is beyond me.

I certainly do not want to be associated with such ideas. Their thinking is tribalist, collectivist and deterministic. It stems from the identity politics and conflict theory that Marx devised and his intellectual descendants promote. How anyone who holds such anti-freedom and anti-individualist ideas can call themselves conservatives is perplexing. The whole reason conservatives should oppose affirmative action and multiculturalism is because we base our judgments of people on their individual merits, and not on their artificial “ethnic group.”

This was the first CPAC I attended and it very well could be the last if Ms. Coulter, Mr. Tancredo and their minions continue to hold center stage.
