The Conservative Revolution

This past Friday I was one of 500 attendees of the Washington premier of Evan Coyne Maloney’s film, Indoctrinate U, about the lack of free speech on college campuses.

The film is the first of its kind, and exposes school administrators and professors who have attempted to impose political correctness on students and faculty that happen to have dissenting views. It is a brilliant piece of work, that should be seen by every student and faculty member in the country.
If you want to bring the film to your city or campus, all you need to do is encourage 500 people to sign up on the website and The Moving Picture Institute will bring Indoctrinate U and Evan Maloney to your home town.

The situation in Burma is yet another example of where an oppressive minority are imposing their will through violence on the majority of citizens. While I think the most important thing Americans can do for these people is speak out about their plight and offer them moral support, look at this excerpt from a story in the London Times online.

There are so many heartbreaking things about what is going in Burma, but for a foreigner one of the hardest to bear is the optimism. There are few foreign journalists here, but people treat them as saviours, encouraging them to get the story and the pictures out, with a touching faith that it will make a difference.

“Tell them to send foreign troops, UN troops,” said a young monk at the Mwe Kya Kan pagoda. “Please, fly them to our country to save our lives.”

An American in Rangoon told me yesterday about an opinion poll carried out on Burmese attitudes to US foreign policy.

“Like most people, they thought that it sucks,” he told me. “But not for the usual reason. Burmese wanted to know why George Bush hasn’t invaded their country yet.”

I don’t think we should necessarily send troops at this point, but it is an incredible statement nonetheless. This situation reminds us once again how lucky we are to live in a free country.

Ryan Sorba will be giving his talk about “the born gay hoax” on Tuesday at Michigan State University. This is also the theme of his upcoming book, which argues that the pro-homosexual movement is a complete fabrication by gay activists to gain minority status as a special class. Sorba quotes at length various leaders of the gay movement, who admit that there is no such thing as being “born gay” but people choose to be this way. Sorba will argue that the American people have been duped by a crafty few political activists whose goal is complete acceptance of their lifestyle.

You can watch his speech at California State University — San Bernardino from last year.

Already, the campus left at MSU is organizing a different event and raising money in order to counter Sorba’s argument. This should make for an interesting day at MSU on Tuesday.

Columbia University has invited Iranian thug Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak on Monday. So, let’s get this straight, a holocaust-denying dictator responsible for the deaths of American troops in Iraq gets an invitation to speak at our universities, but anyone right of center is protested or deemed “too controversial” to speak. What a topsy-turvy world we live in.

The truth is that the Left on campus supports America’s enemies, whether they be communists like Hugo Chavez, or Islamists like Ahmadinejad. As long as you spout anti-American propaganda and hate President Bush as much as the Left does, you are in the club.

Along with the MoveOn.org ad calling General Petraeus a traitor, the Left has proven that Americans can question their patriotism and devotion to our way of life. I will not apologize ever again for calling the Left anti-American, since their devotion to Marxism and coddling of Islamist terrorists has become routine.

I am at the rallies today in D.C. The communist front group International A.N.S.W.E.R. and their left-wing fellow traveler’s are gathered near the White House. The pro-troops and pro-mission Gathering of Eagles, Move America Forward and Free Republic have moved to 7th and Pennsylvania and are lining both sides of the commie march route. Should make for some interesting banter.

I have taken lots of pics and will try to upload them next week.

General Petraeus is on Capitol Hill today testifying before the House of Representatives. I just left the Hill, and it is abuzz with talk about this testimony. Here is a key point he made today:

Additionally, in what may be the most significant development of the past 8 months, the tribal rejection of Al Qaeda that started in Anbar Province and helped produce such significant change there has now spread to a number of other locations as well.

Based on all this and on the further progress we believe we can achieve over the next few months, I believe that we will be able to reduce our forces to the pre-surge level of brigade combat teams by next summer without jeopardizing the security gains that we have fought so hard to achieve.

Beyond that, while noting that the situation in Iraq remains complex, difficult, and sometimes downright frustrating, I also believe that it is possible to achieve our objectives in Iraq over time, though doing so will be neither quick nor easy.

I was watching C-Span when the communist front-group Code Pink started yelling at General Petraeus. The committee chairman asked the police to escort these angry leftists from the hearing room. Don’t they have a meeting with Hugo Chavez later today?

Here is General Petraeus’ entire report.

ABC News has a transcript of the tape. Here are some of the best excerpts.

He goes on to call Noam Chomsky “among one of the most capable of those from your own side,” and mentions global warming and “the Kyoto accord.”

Wow, bin Laden sounds like a Democrat, citing Chomsky and going on about global warming and Kyoto. Perhaps he could run as Hillary Clinton’s VP.

Bin Laden says President Bush’s words echo “neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle.”

Again, the terrorist refers to the princes of darkness on the right. Bin Laden would make a good DailyKos blogger, wouldn’t he?

Newsweek has a good background piece on Fred Thompson, who is skipping this week’s GOP presidential candidate debate in New Hampshire, and will instead announce his candidacy on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday.

Thompson seems to be the most conservative candidate out of the leading four contenders in the GOP. He is polling second nationally, behind New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
